Stunning straight teeth in Dunstable

If you have crooked, protruding or overcrowded teeth, you may think that there is nothing you can do about it.

Teeth straightening for has changed so much in recent years. Wearing braces is no longer just for teenagers; now plenty of adults are taking the opportunity to update the look of their teeth with braces that are far more discreet, comfortable and affordable than ever before.

At Dunstable Dental Practice, we straighten teeth using two different forms of clear, invisible braces.

Clear braces won’t just straighten teeth, they can also:

  • Close gaps between your teeth
  • Move protruding teeth
  • Spacing out overcrowded teeth
  • Correcting bite problems

We have treated hundreds of adults from Dunstable, Totternhoe, Houghton Regis, Sewell and throughout Bedfordshire for teeth straightening and all have been delighted with the results.  Book a consultation to find out more.

Which teeth straightening treatments are available at Dunstable Dental Practice?

At Dunstable Dental Practice we use two types of clear braces which are so discreet, most people will not realise that you’re even having your teeth straightened.

Invisalign

Invisalign is made up of a series of custom-made clear aligners which sit over the top of your teeth. They are removable braces, and you take them out to eat, drink and to brush your teeth.

When you choose to have your teeth straightened with Invisalign, your teeth will be scanned using the revolutionary iTero scanner.

This produces digital 3D images to show how your teeth look now and how they will move and change until the finished result with straight teeth at the end of treatment. It means, you get to see how your new straight teeth look before you even start treatment!

You wear your Invisalign aligners for a prescribed amount of time – usually one week before you move on to the next set of aligners in the series. Each set has a tiny difference from the previous, allowing for the small movement in your teeth as they are straightened.

Finish wearing your aligners until you reach the final set in the series and your teeth have reached their final destination.

SureSmile

SureSmile is a similar form of teeth straightening to Invisalign. They also use a series of clear aligners which are worn and changed on a regular basis until your teeth reach their ultimate position.

When you get your teeth straightened with SureSmile, you’ll also receive the SureSmile VPro. This small device is inserted into your mouth every day and produces small vibrations which ensure that your aligners are fitting tightly against your teeth.

At your initial consultation, you can discuss which teeth straightening method is best for you.

Benefits of teeth straightening in Dunstable

Patients from Totternhoe, Sewell, Houghton Regis and throughout Bedfordshire are choosing teeth straightening because:

 

  • Teeth straightening is a much more discreet process using invisible braces. With no metal brackets or wires, teeth straightening is more comfortable too
  • Invisalign and SureSmile use removable braces which are more hygienic and give you more flexibility with eating. Wearing removable braces also make it easier to play certain contact sports and to play musical instruments too
  • Straight teeth will give you a stunning new smile and will boost your self esteem
  • Straight teeth are easier to keep clean and free from plaque which means you are less likely to develop tooth decay or gum disease
  • Invisalign and SureSmile won’t just straighten teeth, they can help overcome other orthodontic issues including overcrowding and bite problems
  • Teeth straightening with Invisalign and SureSmile means less visits to see your dentist than traditional teeth straightening. You’ll receive several packs of aligners in advance and are only required to check in with your dentist occasionally

    FAQ's for Teeth Straightening

    Can I just get my top set of teeth straightened?

    Yes, you can. At your consultation, your dentist will assess your teeth and talk with you about what you would like to achieve with your smile. If you only want to straighten your top teeth, your treatment will consist of aligners just for your top jaw.

    Can I get my teeth straightened on the NHS?

    No, teeth straightening for adults is not available on the NHS because it is a cosmetic dental treatment and so you must pay to have them straightened privately. At Dunstable Dental Practice we offer 0% finance for up to 12 months, which helps make affordable teeth straightening.

    Is it too late for me to get my teeth straightened?

    This can only be answered by you, but we believe that it is never too late to invest in a beautiful smile. More adults are realising that just like your hair and skin, teeth can greatly affect your appearance. Since the introduction of invisible braces, we have seen more patients in their forties and fifties having their teeth straightened.

    The Dentist is great friendly and helpful and a great service.
    What is negative is having to do that patient bridge form.
    I'm sure it could be made a lot simpler in not having to keep filling in the same things that are already on file

    I once again have nothing but praise for Mr Shah for his empathy and the courteous way in which he spoke and treated me as an elderly, nervous patient, with my check up and scale and polish completed in an efficient and timely manner. Reception staff were courteous and helpful as always.

    Had my first appointment at the practice today and my daughter’s first dentist appointment ever. What an incredible experience! The 2 lovely ladies made the whole thing so special for my daughter. They were kind, warm and on top form with the humour! She’s asked if we can go back again tomorrow! And fixed several months worth of tooth sensitivity for me in minutes. Looking forward to going back for whitening treatment.

    Danyel has been my Dentist for 27 years.
    She has a warm and welcoming demeanor that sets you at ease from the get go.
    She is very kind. caring and patient and very in tune with her patients needs.
    Our whole family attend Dunstable Dental Practice, mainly under the care of Danyel but we have through the years visited some of the other Dentists, whose care has also been excellent- which also extends to nursing staff and reception.

    Excellence all round- we would not go anywhere else.

    My son and I had a wonderful visit to the dental clinic yesterday and just wanted to share my appreciation. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted by the receptionist, whose friendliness set a reassuring tone for the appointment. The care and attention we received throughout were excellent.

    My dentist was not only professional but incredibly kind and knowledgeable. Her advice was invaluable — she explained everything clearly and made sure we were comfortable every step of the way. The treatment itself was smooth and effective, and we left feeling confident in the care.
