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.

I was happy with the friendly atmosphere which put me at ease. And the relaxed way the dentist made me feel. I used to be very anxious but since going to my dentist of a few years, I am not.

The Dental Health Private Dental Clinic has been nothing short of amazing with my teenager, who has a deep seated phobia of dentists. Every member of staff is so welcoming and thoughtful. The dentist my teen sees takes everything at their pace, so they feel and know they are in control of what happens to them in the dentists chair. Right from our very first visit, it was abundantly clear that their aim was to see my teen for who they are and work with them, gaining their trust and ultimately getting them a step closer to easing that abject fear of visiting, and allowing a dentist to help care for their dental health.
