I called Friday evening to see if they had emergency appointments due to serious tooth pain. They were very polite and willing to accommodate. Due to me being a 45-minute drive away — the closest dentist I could find on Google that was open — they assured me they would see me when I got there. Upon arrival the staff were so polite and welcoming. The expertise and advice before the procedure was amazing. Definitely worth the trip to get the pain away. 100% recommend them.

Penistone patients and the short road to Deepcar
Penistone is the closest market town to us and many of our straightening patients come from there. Locally, aligner treatment is offered by practices that share clinicians with Barnsley, and their pages follow a familiar pattern: a free consultation, a treatment length of six to eighteen months, and no price, no finance terms and no name for the dentist who would do it. Aftercare gets a single line about wearing something at night.
At Deepcar Dental Care the fee is on the page, £1,495 per arch, retainers are in it, and front-teeth cases take four to nine months. You see one dentist throughout, and we open 8am to 8pm seven days a week, which no practice in Penistone does. The drive along the A616 and down through Stocksbridge takes about 15 minutes and there is free parking outside. Since most pages stop at the day your aligners come off, this one starts there: how to keep the result.
The retainer years: what keeping teeth straight actually involves
Teeth moved by aligners are held in place by nothing but the retainer for the first year, because the fibres of the gum that anchor each tooth keep their old tension for many months and quietly pull the tooth back. After that, it is age doing the pulling; lower front teeth crowd naturally through adult life whether or not you ever had treatment. So retention is not a phase, it is a habit.
Removable retainers
Clear trays like a thin aligner, fitted on the day your last aligner comes out. Wear them day and night for the first few months apart from eating and brushing, then every night from then on. Clean them with a soft brush and cool water or a retainer cleaning tablet, never toothpaste, which scratches them cloudy, and never hot water, which warps them in seconds. Keep them in the case when they are out; the two commonest fates of a retainer are a napkin in a restaurant and a dog. They last two to five years and a replacement is priced on our fees page. If yours stops clicking firmly onto the teeth, it has warped or the teeth have shifted, and either way you should come in.
Fixed retainers
A fine wire bonded behind the front teeth, invisible from the front, that holds them without any effort from you. We suggest it for people who know they will not manage nightly wear, and for lower front teeth that were badly crowded. The trade: you need to clean under it with floss threaders or interdental brushes, and if a section of the bond comes away the teeth on that side can start moving, so it needs checking at each routine examination.
Everything else that protects the result
- Routine examinations, where the retainer fit and any fixed wire are checked, at £63 a visit.
- Hygiene visits, because bone lost to gum disease lets teeth drift regardless of retainers.
- Replacing any tooth you lose, since neighbours tip into gaps and the front teeth follow.
- Whitening after straightening, not during, using the retainer as the tray if it fits well enough.

Questions, answered
Teeth straightening: questions from Penistone patients
Can I get to Deepcar from Penistone without driving?
Yes. The 23 community bus runs from Penistone to Stocksbridge, and from there the Sheffield-bound buses along Manchester Road stop near the practice. Allow around 40 minutes each way.
Is there anywhere in Penistone that does aligner reviews at weekends?
Not that we know of. We open 8am to 8pm every day including Sundays, so reviews and retainer checks can fit around work or school runs.
How long do I have to wear retainers?
Every night for as long as you want the teeth to stay straight, which in practice means indefinitely. The first few months are full-time.
My retainer has cracked. Is it urgent?
Fairly. Teeth can start moving within a few days without one, so call us and we will fit you in quickly; if it still seats fully, keep wearing it until then.
I had braces as a teenager and lost my retainer years ago. Is it too late?
No. Teeth that have drifted after childhood braces are one of the commonest short-term cases we treat, and the result is then held with retainers you keep.
Does straightening affect a missing tooth I have been meaning to replace?
It changes the space, so we align first and replace afterwards. Our implants for Penistone page explains the order and the timing.
In their own words
What patients say.
Dr Ibrahim helped me today with a difficult extraction. He is my hero for the dedication, skill and professionalism shown today. It was a tough one but wow. I was in so much pain and he saved me from it. I am eternally grateful to him. Just brilliant.
Visited today for a private emergency appointment. The practice was very clean and tidy, the staff very friendly and helpful. They really listened to my concerns and put me at ease. Addressed the problem and extracted my tooth — nothing was too much trouble. Swift service — top notch.
