Teeth straightening

Serving patients throughout East Sussex and Crowborough

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, can help you to achieve your perfect smile.

At Durban Dental Centre in East Sussex 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. Dr Ahmet or Dr Ashley 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 Durban Dental Centre in East Sussex

  • 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.

I received the high quality experience at Durban that is the norm for this practice.Christine, hygienist, is exceptional in her care for the client, always checking that all is well throughout the treatment with special attention to comfort, very necessary for my particular needs.

I am a nervous patient after experiencing a lot of pain at dentists over the years but I was listened to and was allowed to play my music throughout which kept me calm ☺️

From reception to Hygienist and Dentist my care was 5*. I felt very well cared for and received a high standard of care.

28th May 2026

Reception staff polite and friendly. Ashley Sim (dentist) was thorough, thoughtful, considerate. He gave me confidence in that if he thought I didn't need a treatment, or would not benefit from it, he said so. Therefore, I am confident if he says I need treatment, then I do.

I had reported pain in a molar to my dentist at the last visit and he said the old filling had to be removed as no longer viable. This apt he removed the amalgam filling, cleaned the area removing a small amount of decay and refilled. He took an enormous amount of care to get the bite right. Amazingly, the whole procedure didn't hurt one bit. Will not go anywhere else.

22nd May 2026

Well organised.

Ashley Sim listened to my concerns and understood the circumstances giving rise to the appointment. Ashley checked the area in question and offered to take an x-ray should it put my mind at rest.We discussed the preferred way forward, given other medical considerations, with the option being available to undertake any interim treatment should the need arise.I never doubt that Ashley will listen and explain.
