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 recently visited Hadleigh Dental for the first time and had a wide range of treatment carried out (root canal, cap, filling and extraction). I was treated by Philip Wilson and Gurps Singh and was really impressed with the quality of service provided by them and their assistants. They clearly had excellent technical knowledge and both went to considerable trouble to explain the treatment needed before commencing work and to summarise how it had gone afterwards. I've no hesitation whatever in recommending them!

I had a range of treatments carried out by two dentists at the same practice, having moved to the practice very recently. They were both exceptionally good at diagnosing what my issues were, explaining exactly what needed to done and carrying out the treatment effectively. As the work was carried out they explained what they were doing and summarised it afterwards. I was particularly impressed that photos were taken at each stage of my root canal treatment and that they were used to help me understand the process afterwards. The dentists' technical competence was evident and their manner reassuring. Highly recommended!

I was refered through my own dentist for a filling causing me pain, I needed root canal treatment that the NHS wouldn't touch (the NHS only offered to pull the tooth) Dr Singh saw me for both appointments I had, one for assessment and another for the root canal itself. Him and everyone at the practice from reception to the other Dentists? Dental assistants? were kind, understanding, and on the ball. They took time to explain everything I asked about as well as keeping me up to date outside of my appointments and on what they were doing during my root canal. The place was clean, and tidy too. I am very happy with the treatment I recieved, and could not recommend him and the others here more. Professional all the way through :)
