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.

They are all great people. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Two very minor comments to fill up this space: There could be blue-rimmed safety classes for boys and a magazine in reception about classic cars (not that there'd ever be much time to read it). Oh and the lift can be a Godsend on the days when my legs are very weak. That's it. You can't improve on perfection!

I was in pain and needed an appointment which was worked on very efficiently by ( I think) Katrina needing her to call me back twice to fix a date and time. I was also offered antibiotics in case of deterioration. Exceptional service all round.

Helen was an excellent. Friendly but professional and kind. She has a very calming manner. Helen explained the procedures undertaken in detail and also used ‘props’ to further demonstrate processes. She also explained the advantages and issues with using certain oral products in daily oral hygiene which left me feeling informed and in control.
