Teeth straightening

Serving patients throughout Southampton, West End, Portsmouth and Chichester

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 Johann, can help you to achieve your perfect smile.

At Dental Health Private Dental Clinic in Southampton we offer the following teeth straightening options:

  • Invisalign
  • Clear aligners

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. Johann 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 Dental Health Private Dental Clinic in Southampton

  • 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 Southampton, West End, Portsmouth and Chichester and want to know more about how this could work for you, get in touch to arrange a consultation at Dental Health Private Dental Clinic.

Everyone is super friendly. I wasn’t left to wait long and was actually seen before my appointment was due to start. It’s very easy to find and plenty of parking. My dentist is very welcoming and knowledgeable. There isn’t anything I would have changed about my appointment and will definitely be back.

Johann is also very professional and knowledgeable. He has a welcoming and calm presence and is always very thorough and leaves me satisfied that he has done a good job. Would definitely recommend!

I really love this practice, the reception is kind and there's always an appointment for me and my daughter and husband when we need it. Johann is so thorough, honest and takes a lot of care. I have always been really impressed that he always tries not to take the most drastic option which a lot of other dentists do. I was in Australia for 2 years and refused to see another dentist and always look forward to my visits. Thank you so much
