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.

This was my first appointment with the new Dental Hygienist, following the retirement of the previous Hygienist who had treated me for over 25 years. I was very happy with the treatment I received, and found the new Hygienist to be skilful, knowledgeable and friendly.

My experience at this friendly practice has been first class. Mr Havenga showed me pictures of the xrays he took of my teeth and clearly explained why it was not possible to save my loose tooth. The next day he professionally and gently extracted my tooth without causing me any distress. An excellent outcome.
