Teeth straightening

Serving patients throughout Ipswich, Colchester, Bury St Edmunds and Sudbury

Never before have there been so many ways to have your teeth straightened.

Teeth straightening is a dental specialism 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 Betzael, can help you to achieve your perfect smile.

At Hadleigh Dental Surgery in Hadleigh we offer the following teeth straightening options:

  • Invisalign
  • Fixed 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. Betzael 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 Hadleigh Dental Surgery in Hadleigh

  • 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.

If you are looking for teeth straightening or orthodontics in Ipswich, Colchester, Bury St Edmunds and Sudbury and want to know more about how this could work for you, get in touch to arrange a consultation at Hadleigh Dental Surgery.

I'm a very nervous and anxious patient. Both the hygienist and the dentist both gave me time and patience for my treatment to begin and be completed. I'm very happy with the service I received.

have had a number of terrible dental experiences before coming to my current dentist at your practice. In the past when I was working and could not attend a daytime appointment I was offered an evening appointment. the dentist I am seeing is aware that I am a nervous patient, explains everything and is very calming. I have had no subsequent problems with any treatment carried out at your surgery. I will continue to use your practice even though I have to travel some distance.

At my appointment Mr Wilson quickly discovered that I needed to have a back tooth extraction. He was very busy but quickly asked another dentist at the practise to carry out the procedure. I had to return to the surgery an hour later . Mr Patel was brilliant and quickly removed my tooth . Thankyou to you both

Very professional excellent at putting patients at ease, the whole practice is a joy to deal with, we live nearly 2 hours away but still continue to use this practice as we are very satisfied with all aspects of the way we are treated.

I had been rereferred from my dentist and found the team extremely helpful. The reception team contacted me in good time to arrange the consultation and they were helpful and friendly when we attended the clinic. The dentist who saw me for my consultation shared everything clearly and explained my options based on his assessment. The result was that I needed an extraction as soon as possible and this was arranged for a week later. On the day the extraction was completed by Mr Vin Singh and he was excellent. He took so much time explaining what as needed and what he would be doing, listened to any concerns and shared what I would need to do before and after the treatment. I didn't feel a thing and the treatment went really well, exactly as he suggested, putting my mind at ease. It was refreshing to feel so confident when having such a treatment. I can only thank the team for their help.
