Your smile, your way

A straight smile is a healthy smile. Whether you’d like to tweak your smile slightly, dramatically improve an overbite or underbite, or you’re a parent with a child whose teeth are still growing – however simple or complex, our trusted and experienced cosmetic dentists can help you achieve your perfect smile.

Straightening teeth and improving your bite helps much more than appearance. It will also improve the overall health of your teeth and gums, making it easier to protect your smile from gum disease and decay.

Each patient and their needs are different. We tailor your treatment just for you. Our expert dentists will assess your case and guide you on the complexity, timescale, cost and the variety of options available to you.

Feeling glad! Read our glowing reviews from our valued patients, sharing their experiences and sparkling smiles with us.

Was an amazing experience since the first appointment where I had my dental plan put in place. Was super understanding with my situation and what work I wanted to have done. All the staff I had met during my 3 appointments were very nice and provided a great service overall.
- Andy Spenceley
Great practice and would highly recommend!! I had been going to another dentist for a while but didn’t seem to explain anything or help me with options. Decided to come to Eccleshill Dental. Was amazed. I had a 40 min examination and then went through all my issues. They broke it down to things that I ‘needed’ to do and then discussed things that might ...

FAQs

Which straightening option is best for me?

Don’t worry, our dentists will guide with this as treatment time and outcome is based on the complexity of your case and the type of system we choose.

Often patients prefer the discreet aligners, such as Invisalign®, particularly if you are feeling self-conscious about the prospect of fixed braces. Fixed braces are often useful in more complex cases.

Following a smile consultation, we will be able to understand your personal smile goals and recommend a treatment system that is right for you and your specific lifestyle.

Am I too old for braces?

No, straightening and orthodontics can be undertaken at any age! Our dentists will need to assess your dental health before confirming if you are suitable, but age is not a factor.

Whether you’re in your 70s or your teens, you’ll find straightening and orthodontics have never been more popular with patients. The addition of ceramic fixed braces and clear aligners have boosted the popularity of straightening systems.

Clear braces can be used to fix nearly all common teeth straightening and bite issues, from simple to complex. Depending on the complexity of your case, you can achieve your dream smile in as little as six months!

How much will straightening cost?

We ensure our prices are extremely competitive when compared to other dentists in the surrounding Leeds & Bradford area.

Teeth straightening starts from £1995 and the cost can be spread with our 0% interest free flexible payment plans, making treatment much more affordable. During your smile consultation, together both you and the dentist will develop a bespoke treatment plan tailored to suit both your needs and your budget.

Factors that affect the financial cost include the complexity of your problems, difficulty of the case and type of straightening system used. After an assessment and discussion of options, our dentists will give you an exact cost.

How long does teeth straightening take?

Depending on the complexity of your case, you can achieve your dream smile in as little as 12 weeks. Typically, most cases take between 6-12 months.

Does teeth straightening hurt?

You may experience some initial discomfort, typically described as a feeling of pressure. This is normal and is a sign the treatment is working, as your teeth are starting to move into their desired position. Any discomfort should go away after taking pain relief or after a week or so.

How do I get started?

After completing treatment, how do I maintain my new smile?

To keep your teeth straight and prevent them moving back to their original position, you will need to wear retainers to hold the teeth in their new position. This is essential. Initially, these retainers need to be worn through the day as well as at night. However, after a couple of months these retainers only need to be worn at night.

Fixed retainers can also be constructed. Our dentists will guide you on your retainer options

Following the completion of your treatment, we also recommend joining our membership plan to maintain your dental health, provide hygiene appointments and monitor your new smile well into the future.
