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 recently had the Airflow stain removal treatment and was so impressed with the whole experience. From the moment I walked in I was greeted by the friendly receptionist, Lola, who guided me through a short form as I am not registered at this dentist but this was no issue at all. Emma, who carried out this treatment was fantastic. She clearly explained each step and regularly checked I was comfortable. Leah was also so reassuring and helpful. I felt well looked after throughout. The results were even better than I expected. My teeth look and feel great. I’ve already had compliments and I feel much more confident with my smile. Thank you so much Emma, Leah and Lola!

I had toothache that required looking at, I was told by the clinician that extraction was the only safe option as the tooth had split. I was given the option of taking time to think about immediate treatment or to book an appointment later. I opted for immediate treatment which was performed painlessly in less that an hour. I was advised as to what after care was available should a problem occur following the extraction. I'm happy to say no further pain or bleeding occurred. I was advised which follow up treatments are available to conceal the gap left in my 'smile' area. I plan to have follow up treatment.

On Thursday 3rd July 2025 I attended my regular Dental Practice at HestBank, Lancaster for a root filling and an extraction. Wik, my dental assistant at the time was very professional, obviously happy in her work and looked after me, constantly asking if I was ok, whilst assisting my dentist Stuart in his dental work. 5* service from Wik and Stuart, thank you. The whole Practice deserves a 5* rating for a friendly and professional approach to their work

On Thursday 3rd July 2025 I attended my regular Dental Practice at HestBank, Lancaster for a root filling and an extraction. My dentist Stuart was, as always, very professional, willing to explain the procedures in detail and answer all of my questions in a way that I could understand. His dental assistant Wik was also very professional, obviously happy in her work and looked after me, constantly asking if I was ok, whilst assisting Stuart in his dental workThe whole practice is very friendly, immaculately clean and somewhere I would not hesitate to recommend - a great team. I travel from Leeds, West Yorkshire every time I need to visit the dentist, so it must be good to justify that journey over the M62 each time!Dale Charnock, Leeds, West Yorkshire

Been a patient of Hest Bank Dental for many years. Great team of staff, always friendly and approachable. Practice run very professional and always kept clean. My dentist Mike has always done a great job looking after my teeth, although tbf not really had a great deal to do on them over the years. I also see Emma the hygienist who is so friendly and does a wonderful job cleaning up my teeth, yes I alway get told off for not getting in between my teeth properly
