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.

The staff are always efficient and friendly, and the surgery itself is spotless and a pleasant environment. You feel confident that you are receiving excellent care and service, and I would not hesitate to recommend Hadleigh Dental Surgery to anyone. It's (almost!) a pleasure to go to the dentist!

I was made to feel special and was treated by staff with a friendly, respectful and very polite attitude. Both of the clinitians explained in detail about my treatment and gave useful comments about my oral hygiene. My appointment was on time and in comfortable surroundings.
