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.

Ian is a wonderful dentist, so caring, kind and patient...all the nurses are also always great, unfortunately I can't remember her name but this particular lady was absolutely wonderful. Reception staff also always excellent. I arrived almost crying and left laughing and smiling, what more can I say...

Extremely friendly and polite staff across the board. I'm a new nervous patient to the practice and the team put me at ease and have increased my confidence in returning.I have avoided a dentist for 5 years and was difficult to have the courage to make an appointment but the team have been great and I feel confident to return for the treatments I need. 10/10 for all team members who have made that possible for me.

Everyone knew what to do and did it well.

They are always gentle, caring and patient. They explain everything and allow you to ask any questions. They have never rushed me, or the appointment. They really genuinely care for me, so I assume thats how It is with everyone. I have no doubts that everyone else has a pleasant experience with them. The dentist is a really scary experience for some people. Yet, I no longer have any fears thanks to the dental care team at Sturminster Newton. I would like to mention specific people but I feel like thats unfair as everyone Ive spoken to has always been great.

From reception to the dental nurses/ hygiene and dentists, you are made to feel welcome and relaxed as soon as you enter the premises. I have not been to a dentist in 36 years. Incredibly apprehensive. But after a year of treatment and education, my confidence has been restored, and I can smile at anyone that I meet.

It is very reassuring to have such a brilliant dentist and team. I have been having a particularly distressing problem with my teeth following sepsis and I county myself as very lucky to be able to trust that I am getting the best care possible.

24th October 2025

I was seen promptly and given good care

24th October 2025

I am unable to find one thing wrong with the practice. I have been a patient for several years and am completely happy with my dentist and hygeniest and all of the reception staff who are delightful, knowledgeable and helpful.

22nd October 2025

After moving to the area, I needed to find a new dental practice. I had been with my last practice since childhood, so a big move! Sturminster have provided a very good level of care, with questions re the rational for a treatment schedule explained well, leaving me able to make good, informed choices re how I wish to proceed and advice given to make theses choices confidently. As a retired person, dental care is a big expense, but I have no doubt that working with Sturminster I will continue to be able to make choices based on their excellent care.
