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.

Hygienist very good, explained everything very well and helpful with my questions. I have a sensitive gag reflex which she accommodated, the Dental Nurse was also very accommodating not filling the back of my mouth with the water. Previous visit the Dental Nurse’s method was a bit harsh to be honest.

I received prompt ,professional care.

16th January 2026

Following my previous very poor experience with another dentist at this clinic (who is fortunately no longer employed there), I am pleased to say that Johann Havenga fully restored my confidence in the clinic, which had been badly shaken.

14th January 2026

Found the staff to be professional and helpful.

13th January 2026

The hygenist and dental nurse, was friendly, put me at ease, explained everything they were doing . Very professional

12th January 2026

New hygienist was very skilful. She was using new equipment and methods and explained them in detail before commencing the treatment. She kept checking on my comfort during the procedure. Afterwards, she offered further advice about brushing, etc. There were two other personnel attending: an assistant and (presumably) a trainee. It felt like a spa treatment!
