Teeth Straightening in Wigan

Teeth Straightening

At Circ Dental, we offer a range of teeth-straightening solutions designed to suit every smile. Our options include traditional fixed braces with either durable stainless steel or discreet white ceramic brackets or the removable aligners treatment with Invisalign . We welcome orthodontic referrals for both children and adults.

With hundreds of smiles transformed, our fixed braces treatment uses brackets and wires carefully fitted to your teeth. Through regular adjustments and follow-up appointments, this gentle guidance gradually moves teeth into their ideal positions, delivering predictable, reliable results and a healthy, beautifully aligned smile.

Led by Dr. Kelly, who brings extensive experience in a wide range of orthodontic treatments, Circ Dental combines high-quality care with a patient-centered approach. Every treatment plan is tailored to each individual, taking into account their unique needs and goals to help them achieve the smile they’ve always wanted.

What can braces help with?

Crowded teeth

Your teeth get overcrowded when there is not enough space for them all to fit normally. This can make it difficult to clean your teeth and make them susceptible to decay.

Large gaps

If you have gaps between your teeth this can lead to food getting stuck when you eat, which can lead to inflammation and potentially decay. It can also cause problems with the tooth directly above where the gap is.

Open bite

If you have an open bite, it means the top and bottom rows of teeth do not touch each other when you close your mouth. This can make chewing harder food difficult.

Underbite

Having an underbite means that your bottom front teeth are in front of your top teeth when you close your mouth. This can be caused by your lower jaw being too far forward. Left untreated it can cause problems with chewing and make your teeth wear down faster.

Overbite

An overbite happens when your front teeth overlap your bottom ones. Most people have this to a degree but if your overbite is too big it can cause your teeth to wear down. It can also cause discomfort in your jaw.

Crossbite

If you have a crossbite, some of your bottom teeth will stick outside your front teeth when you bite down. If this is untreated this could lead to severe pain in your jaw, gum problems and eventually loss of bone in your jaw.

Benefits of fixed braces

Works even in severe situations

While other treatments such as Invisalign offer highly effective results, they may not be suitable for everyone. The metal wires in braces can move your teeth towards the right positions, no matter how complex the situation.

You don’t have to take them in and out

If you opt for braces, you don’t have to add anything to your daily routine as braces can only be removed by a trained dental professional. All you have to do is wear them!

Improved oral health

Once your teeth have been straightened, they will be much easier to clean as food is less able to become trapped between teeth. This reduces the risk of decay and gum disease. Additionally, there will be less risk of injury and erosion once your teeth are aligned properly.

Improved self-confidence and appearance

Having a balanced, aligned smile can greatly improve your self-esteem. For children, straighter teeth can assist with their jaw growth and facial symmetry.

Step by Step

Consultation

Our specialist orthodontist, Dr Kelly Smorthit, will examine your teeth and discuss your treatment goals. You’ll be able to choose which type of braces you want to go for, including metal or ceramic. We will put together a detailed treatment plan and you will be able to see how your teeth will look after they’ve been straightened.

Fitting your braces

If you choose to go ahead, you’ll have your braces fitted on the next appointment. Typically this takes around an hour (half an hour for each row of teeth). This process is simple and pain free.

Teeth straightening

Once your braces have been fitted, you’ll have regular appointments with us in Wigan to make sure everything is going well. At every appointment, we’ll adjust your braces to make sure they continue working, moving your teeth into their final positions. Typically, this process lasts between 12 to 18 months.

Brace removal

Once your treatment has been completed, you can come and get your braces taken off at the last appointment, revealing a beautiful straight smile! You’ll also get a retainer fitted to ensure your teeth stay in the right places.

Frequently Asked Questions

The process of having braces fitted is not painful. However, after you’ve had your braces adjusted, your teeth may feel sensitive and tender for a few days.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Unfortunately I needed root canal treatment and I wasn’t looking forward to it. However, I was worrying over nothing. I highly recommend Dr Bally at Circ Dental (Recommended to me by my Sister). Dr Bally is an excellent Special Interest Endodontist. The whole process was more like treatment for a small filling, just a bit longer. Dr Bally took time to inform me on what was happening and the whole process was completely pain free. A week after the treatment and all is good. I would also like mention that Circ Dental has a very modern clean environment and a welcoming reception.

The reception staff where helpful extremely friendly.

My treatment was carried out by Dr Matt Jones who was very reassuring and knowledgeable and guided me through each stage of the process.

The team were friendly, professional, and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process. Everything was explained clearly and the finish looks really natural just as I wanted. Would definitely recommend Circ Dental if you’re considering getting this treatment!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I moved to Circ Dental after being with another private practice for 10+ years, and I’m so glad I made the switch. Having them right in the village is so convenient, and both me and my 14 year old have been with them since they opened.

The practice is spotless, modern, and welcoming, and all the staff are super friendly. Matt is our dentist and he’s always professional and thorough, and he’s been great with my daughter too.

With my six‑monthly check ups and hygienist appointments, I feel the level of care, service, and availability is well worth the fee. I’d happily recommend Circ Dental.
