Teeth straightening

Serving patients throughout Stroud, Nailsworth, Stonehouse, Cheltenham, Gloucester and Gloucestershire

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, Dr House or Dr Ntanos can help you to achieve your perfect smile.

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. Our clinicians 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

  • 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.

If you are looking for teeth straightening or orthodontics in Stroud, Nailsworth, Stonehouse, Cheltenham, Gloucester and Gloucestershire and want to know more about how this could work for you, we would love to hear from you!

I have been a patient at Rowcroft Dental Surgery and have been looked after by Dr. House and Dr. Lucy Li. From my very first appointment, both dentists demonstrated exceptional patience, care, and professionalism that truly put me at ease. I was referred for an implant consultation regarding a complicated back molar, and I was genuinely impressed by how thoroughly they approached my case. Rather than rushing to a decision, they took the time to conduct a comprehensive examination, including detailed X-rays, to fully understand the complexity of my situation before discussing any treatment options. It was clear that they carefully considered every aspect of my case before recommending. The entire team at Rowcroft Dental Surgery creates a wonderfully warm and welcoming atmosphere. Every member of staff is friendly.

Courteous service as ever.

3rd April 2026

The dentist and nurse were friendly, patient and explained things clearly. They listened to me and gave me confidence. However I was not happy with the booking experience. The receptionist seemed more concerned about how I would pay than my dental pain. She did not tell the dentist that I was experiencing pain when I phoned.

31st March 2026

I have visited the surgery many times for dental care over many years and have always found the level of treatment and care excellent. On my last visit I received Hygienist care from Lisa whom I have visited many times who has helped build my confidence in having dental treatment. Lisa has always shown me care, understanding and respect for my fear and phobia of needles.

30th March 2026

I am a very nervous patient and I know my dentist Lucy and my hygienist Lisa are aware and take all this into consideration during my appointment.

As usual - excellent. Lisa really puts you at ease. Lucy is always so informative and explains what she is about to do. Both always take care to make me feel comfortable as I am so afraid of going to the dentist !!!!

They always explain what options you have, really care to get a positive outcome. I feel they don’t do work which is not needed and really care about their patients.
