Orthodontics

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 and 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 our dentist, can help you to achieve your perfect smile.

At Cedar Dental Care we offer the following orthodontic options:

  • Invisalign (clear removable aligners)
  • Fixed braces (Metal or clear fixed brackets)
  • Lingual braces (behind the teeth)

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. our dentist 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 Cedar Dental Care 

  • 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 with 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 Orthodontics?

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.

My dentist Abi Dundas is amazing and I never worry about visiting the dentist if my appointment is with her. I don’t know what I will do if she ever decides to retire.

6th June 2026

I had a pain in my tooth, which was getting progressively worse. I am in the middle of my A-levels and I explained this and Abby agreed to see me at some point in the afternoon so I waited until she had a chance to see me, I did not have an appointment. She saw me relatively quickly and saw that I needed a filling & she sorted it then and there. I am very grateful for being seen so quickly.

Abi took time and care looking after me at the appointment. She knows that I have anxiety about most things and was really good at putting me at ease.She explained in detail the options and also during the procedure on what she was doing and how it would feel.She and the rest of the team are lovely and really great at looking after patients.

I needed help soon and I went into the dentists and was asked to return later that afternoon. Sunill was friendly and made me feel at ease explaining what our next step should be.. my problem was dealt with by him and a more permanent solution to be sorted a week later

28th May 2026

Highly professional and courteous service from the team. Appropriate use of humour by the dentist to put me at ease - I don’t like going to the dentists.Good to see how supportive the dentist was to the nurses. I think one might have been under training. From what I saw she has a successful career ahead of her
