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.

Always very happy with every aspect of treatment at the Hadleigh Surgery. Philip Wilson, you are not allowed to retire or pre-decease me, there's no other dentist I would value or trust!

Everything

21st November 2025

I have been a patient at the surgery for years. I trust in the capability and experience of the clinicians to treat me and my oral care well, making interventions as appropriate. I feel at ease and comfortable asking questions.

20th November 2025

I’ve had twelve months of heavy treatment with multiple extractions culminating in two implants. Although somewhat traumatic the two partners have been fantastic in helping me through this ordeal. For which I can’t thank them enough.

20th November 2025

I am nervous of dentists. Mr Patel and his team and the hygienists are very patient and do their best to put me at ease. I am confident that the treatment t I have received from Mr Patel for my crown is of highest quality. I feel safe and that the team is highly professional.

20th November 2025

Friendly staff, clinicians friendly and make you feel at ease. Surgery is clean light and area.

20th November 2025

Me Wilson really knows his profession. These days it’s extremely important to ensure you get what you pay for. The experience, knowledge is absolutely fantastic.If I had one constructive feed back it would be for the surgery to try and keep consistency and try to keep the same hygienists. The staff turnover the last year or so has been a bit disconcerting.
