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'm a very nervous patient at the dentist but am so glad I finally made an appointment with Sofia. She really put me at ease and made me feel comfortable from the start, answering all my questions and being a very calming presence. She's very knowledgeable and clear with how she described my options and I actually can't believe that I've come out of this experience less scared than how I went in. And I'm super happy with the results too. Highly recommend Sofia at Hest Bank for professional, kind, caring service and excellent dental care!

The dentist and dental nurse were extremely professional, and empathetic, and put me at ease from the moment I entered the room. I felt very looked after, as I was nervous about the appointment. Thank you

I've had the pleasure of working in several dental practices within Lancashire and fulfilling many roles with in the industry. There are things you learn, notice and pick up along the way. More specifically you see a difference in care and approach from practice to practice. Hest Bank Dental Care has been a stand out practice in their approach to the patients and the care they give. More importantly the time, care and detail to attention they give children, nervous patients and a whole variety of vulnerable people. My family from my parents to my children have always received the up most care and gentle approach to all their treatment. Hest bank really stands out for it's professional care it gives whilst remaining friendly and very family feeling orientated practice. I couldn't recommend Hear Bank enough.

From the moment I called to make a new appointment I felt at ease. I saw Arnie for a check up knowing I’d need a treatment plan and felt comfortable throughout the process. I also had a hygiene appointment with Jake and he was great. Everything was explained clearly and I had options to do what was best for me. Highly recommend!

7th June 2025

Jake the hygienist takes his time to explain what he is doing, and how to better care for my teeth. He’s punctual, polite and puts me at my ease. His assistant was lovely, too. They made me feel very comfortable, although I’m a nervous patient.

Best Bank Dental is the first dental surgery I’ve ever used where I’m not terrified of the dentist. All the staff are friendly and make me feel “at home”. They remember my name, treat me with courtesy and respect in a comfortable environment.Katie Henry is fabulous. She explains everything and gives treatment advice without pushing it. Genevieve the hygienist is gentle and thorough. The reception staff are wonderful.

Katie and Toni are a great team. Both are really friendly and supportive. Katie is very thorough in her work and explains all aspects of the treatments in detail so you know what is happening and why. In my opinion Katie genuinely cares about delivering the best possible service to her customers, I would highly recommend her!
