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 had a broken molar which required repair/filling. Was not a patient of the dental Surgery but received excellent care - most important aspect of this whole experience was that i was seen within 3 working days.

Both practitioners were personable, reassuring and put me at ease. They both very thorough.

Dr Ahmet was considerate and professional at all times (as he has been over the many years I have known him). The filling was not really a surprise. It was done swiftly and without anasthesia. a little pain but we both ploughed through that. Surgery Nurse and Reception Staff were supportive and helpful (change in Medication from Warfarin and Apixaban was carried out smoothly). I'll be back in6 months from Hygienist.

I have been visiting this practice for many years and have always received excellent service. Everyone who you deal with is so nice. Makes going to the dentist fun!

As a nervous patient, Jacob and the dental nurse made me feel totally at ease. Asking me if I’d like the procedure to be explained to me as they went along. General chatting and distraction from the radio. He was very patient and took everything slowly.
