Teeth straightening

Serving patients throughout Hest Bank, Morecambe and Lancaster

Never before have there been so many ways to have your teeth straightened.

Teeth straightening is a dental speciality known as Orthodontics. Using fixed braces or removable aligners, teeth are slowly and precisely moved to achieve a beautifully aligned smile.

Dentists and Orthodontists have been straightening teeth for decades, but a lot has changed in that time. Traditional fixed braces will always be a fantastic way to straighten teeth, but advances in technology have now introduced a range of discreet alternatives. From clear removable aligners, clear fixed braces to invisible wires hidden behind the teeth, these aesthetic options have seen a huge rise in the number of adults seeking straighter teeth.

Orthodontic treatment is most often used to improve the appearance and alignment of crooked, protruding or crowded teeth, and to correct problems with the bite of the teeth. Whether you have mild crowding or a complex bite problem, our teeth straightening dentist Stuart or Sofia, can help you to achieve your perfect smile.

At Hest Bank Dental Care in Lancaster we offer the following teeth straightening options:

  • Invisalign
  • Clear aligners

Treatment times vary depending on your individual alignment needs. For simple cases this could be just a few months, but for more complex movements, it usually takes between 12 months and two years to achieve your beautiful new smile. Stuart or Sofia will give you an idea of how long your teeth straightening treatment may take during your initial consultation.

Benefits of dental braces or clear aligners from Hest Bank Dental Care in Lancaster

  • Dramatically improve the appearance of your smile and potentially provide a life-changing confidence boost.
  • Improve the way your teeth function and bite together – they can even help some speech problems.
  • Straighter teeth provide food and plaque with fewer places to hide, making it easier for you to keep your smile clean and healthy.
  • If you follow aftercare advice and wear your retainers, your results can last a lifetime.

Am I suitable for teeth straightening?

Your teeth and gums need to be healthy before you can start treatment. If you have any implants, crowns, bridges, or veneers you can still wear braces, we can usually work around them.

Before joining the practice in 2021 I was terrified of the dentist, upon mentioning Stuart I now have no fear of the dentist. This is why I made the choose to have dental implants at the practice.

30th January 2026

Stu is extremely knowledgeable, keeps you informed of everything he feels appropriate and the detail is pitched just right. I’ve been a patient of Stuart for years and couldn’t be happier with the service. Thankyou.

The care I received during my appointment was exemplary. Jonathan is an absolute asset to the practice. His care is absolutely patient-centred, whilst ensuring it is delivered to a high standard. I have been fearful of dentists in the past, but this has gone thanks to Jonathan's care. He takes the time to address my concerns and questions, and explains things at the exact right level for me. The dental nurses during my appointment were also fantastic - very reassuring, caring and friendly. I couldn't recommend Hest Bank Dental Care highly enough and will be continuing as a patient with them for life.

Good service all round

16th January 2026

Im due to have crowns fitted but I have a gold crown next to the ones that needed fixing. I asked some questions about the gold crown changing to a white one. Which I had fitted at hestbank dental clinic probably 30 years ago. I was happy with the outcome as my questions were answered superbly.

16th January 2026

Just a check up and hygiene appointment so it was a pleasant enough experience as I don’t have any issues with my teeth.

15th January 2026

Quick work, kind people, good outcome.
