Achieve a Straighter, More Confident Smile

Teeth Straightening at Church Street Dental Centre, Wincanton

If you feel self-conscious about crooked, crowded or uneven teeth, modern teeth straightening treatment can help you achieve a healthier, more confident smile. At Church Street Dental Centre in Wincanton, we offer a range of discreet orthodontic solutions, including Invisalign® and Clarity™ Aligners by Solventum, helping patients of all ages improve both the appearance and function of their teeth.

Many adults who missed out on orthodontic treatment when they were younger are now choosing clear aligner systems that fit comfortably into their everyday lives, allowing them to straighten their teeth with minimal impact on work, social occasions and family life.

Clear Aligner Treatment

Clear aligners are an effective alternative to traditional metal braces. Using a series of custom-made transparent aligners, your teeth are gently moved into their ideal position over time.

At Church Street Dental Centre, we offer two leading clear aligner systems:

  • Invisalign® – the world's leading clear aligner brand, trusted by millions of patients worldwide.
  • Clarity™ Aligners by Solventum – an advanced clear aligner system designed to deliver predictable, comfortable tooth movement with exceptional clarity and comfort.

During your consultation, we'll assess your smile, discuss your goals and recommend the aligner system that is best suited to your individual needs.

See your smile planned in 3D

A more comfortable way to see, plan and visualise your new smile.

Before your treatment begins, we use our TRIOS digital intraoral scanner to create a highly accurate 3D digital model of your teeth.

Unlike conventional dental impressions, there is no need for trays filled with impression material. Digital scanning is quick, comfortable and provides us with a detailed representation of your teeth that can be used throughout the treatment-planning process.

Your digital scan: Comfortable, convenient and highly accurate

Our TRIOS scanner gently captures thousands of images as it moves around your mouth, creating a detailed 3D model of your teeth.

Your digital treatment plan

Your 3D scan allows us to assess your teeth and bite digitally and plan how your teeth need to move throughout treatment. We can use this information to develop a treatment plan that is specific to your teeth, your smile and your goals.

Visualise your tooth movement

One of the advantages of digital treatment planning is being able to visualise the proposed movement of your teeth. Rather than simply being told what will happen, digital planning can help you see how your teeth are expected to move towards their planned positions. This gives you a clearer understanding of your treatment and the result we are working towards.

Your personalised smile journey

Your digital scan and treatment plan provide a detailed starting point for your orthodontic treatment. As treatment progresses, your teeth are guided through their planned movements towards your new smile.

Dr Ruman Blake, Practice Principal

Every smile is different, which is why Ruman takes a personalised approach to teeth straightening. She takes the time to understand what you would like to change, your lifestyle and your goals before discussing the treatment options available to you.

Using digital scanning and advanced clear aligner systems, your treatment can be carefully planned around your individual smile. From your first consultation through to your final result, the focus is on creating a treatment journey that feels personal, considered and right for you.

Why digital scanning matters to you

The technology isn't there simply because it is modern. It is designed to make your treatment experience more comfortable, more informative and more precisely planned.

Digital scanning can mean:

More comfort – no traditional impression material or impression trays

Greater detail – an accurate 3D representation of your teeth

Better planning – your tooth movements can be carefully mapped out

Clearer communication – your treatment can be explained using digital images and models

A more personalised approach – your treatment plan is built around your individual smile

From your first scan to your final smile, digital technology helps us plan your treatment with greater insight and precision.

Your Teeth Straightening Journey

Initial Consultation

Your treatment begins with a thorough assessment of your teeth, bite and smile goals. We'll discuss your treatment options and answer any questions you may have.

Digital Smile Planning

Your teeth are digitally scanned using our TRIOS intraoral scanner, creating a comfortable and highly accurate 3D model. We use your digital scan as part of the treatment-planning process to understand your current tooth positions, plan the required movements and help visualise the smile we are working towards.

Wearing Your Aligners

You'll receive a series of custom-made aligners, each worn for around one to two weeks before progressing to the next stage. For the best results, aligners should be worn for 20–22 hours each day.

Monitoring Your Progress

Throughout your treatment, we'll monitor your progress and make sure your teeth are moving as planned. Your treatment remains under the supervision of our dental team from beginning to end.

Maintaining Your New Smile

Once your teeth have reached their new position, retainers will help maintain your beautiful new smile and protect your investment for years to come.

Fixed Brace Solutions

Fixed braces are a reliable and effective way to straighten teeth and correct a wide range of orthodontic concerns.

We offer both traditional metal braces and more discreet ceramic braces, which use tooth-coloured brackets for a less noticeable appearance. Because they are fixed in place, they work continuously to move your teeth into their ideal position, making them suitable for both simple and more complex cases.

During your consultation, we'll explain the different options available and help you choose the treatment that's right for your smile.

Fixed braces vs clear aligners

Patients choose orthodontic treatment for many reasons, including:

Greater confidence in their smile
Improved oral health
Easier cleaning and maintenance
Correction of crowding and spacing
