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.

I cannot fault Hest Bank Dental Care. I have been a patient for about 2 years. This is the first time I have ever looked forward to attending a dental appointment because I know I will receive excellent painless treatment. Every staff member is polite and caring. I highly recommend this practice if you are in need of a dentist. I particularly recommend this practice if you have dentist phobia or a previous negative experience of a dentist, because the care and gentle nature of treatment offered means you hardly know you’re getting treatment - pain and discomfort free!
