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.

On checking out/arranging future appointments, I found the young woman on reception quite unhelpful as she wasn't taking care to explain things properly making it more difficult to arrange the future appointments. Her manner became patronising when I questioned things, speaking in a manner which suggested I was perhaps a bit stupid! This is unusual as always find your staff helpful, friendly and courteous

A great dentist practise with caring staff, especially Arnie. But, the price sometimes can give you a shock. Always ask for the cost before you start.

Friendly yet professional approach to the procedure

5th February 2026

Ease of getting an appointment. Everyone is friendly. The dental nurses always put you at ease. I have said this before but I can’t recommend Jonathon enough. I have always been scared of the dentist. A fear that I believe is too deep rooted to ever leave me, but he always does his best to make the experience as pleasant as it could be. He is no nonsense and gives me my treatment plan clearly. If he can get on with it straight away he does which prevents the build up of anxiety for coming again. All good.

5th February 2026

My dentist Arnie explained what he was doing as he was working on my filling which made me feel at ease. Karen the dental Nurse was extremely efficient and professional with a lovely calming persona.
