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.

I am delighted to find an implantologist near to where I live as my existing implantologist (at Bath) is retiring. AJ at Sturminster Newton is excellent and I will be booking regular yearly check ups with him. He explained and discussed my existing problem and rectified this at the time of my initial appointment.After my next hygienist appointment at my existing clinic (which is already booked) I will also move this to the Sturminster Dental Care. I will then have AJ (the implantologist) and hygienist under one roof. The staff are excellent, most helpful and friendly. Overall a great experience.

First class all round as usual.

I am completing this survey based on my appointment with the hygienist, which is and always is with Helen, my regular hygienist - excellent.

A nearly 10% increase in price from 6 months' ago is a bit steep so we'll most likely stretch the time between appointments as long as our teeth are in good health. But Ian is a great, kind and considerate dentist who epitomises what being a good clinician is all about. Finding an NHS dentist in this area is also a reason for staying!

My treatment ender up being more complicated due to my previous dentist (different practice). I felt so well looked after even though I know it got quite complex. Because Has took his time I have no pain which is amazing considering how deep he had to go.

16th May 2026

Always friendly reassuring and professional. I see the same dentist and hygienist whom I trust every time.

Had a loose tooth and in awful pain. Called surgery and they fitted me in the same day. I saw Colin and he was wonderful. Lovely sense of humour and very knowledgeable. Explained everything clearly. Numbed the area perfectly and removed the tooth within seconds. Highly recommend Colin and the surgery.
