Teeth straightening

Serving patients throughout Sturminster Newton

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 our dentist, can help you to achieve your perfect smile.

At Sturminster Dental Care in Sturminster Newton we offer the following teeth straightening options:

  • Clear aligners
  • Traditional Fixed and removable Braces

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. our dentist will give you an idea of how long your teeth straightening treatment may take during your initial consultation.

Our dentist was outstanding, he explained everything in detail and reassured my 10yr old son. I couldn't fault him at all. He opened an evening appointment especially to see us, where he did 2 very complicated fillings where the nerves were exposed. My don felt no pain, and has had no pain after. Im so impressed that i have also registered myself here. Outstanding service and highly recommended.

AJ is amazing at implants. Very professional and careful with his work. The implant prep was completely pain free after a couple of injections. I had a little discomfort the next day which was easily sorted with a paracetamol. The following day and then onwards no pain at all!!<br>I put this down to the careful preparation and procedure carried out by AJ. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to friends and family.
