Why straightening teeth is important?
Orthodontics isn’t just recommended for cosmetic purposes. Patients with crooked or misaligned teeth may find it difficult to chew, and therefore, digest food properly. In addition, crooked teeth make brushing and flossing harder, increasing the risk of developing dental problems further down the line.
Our modern dental braces are more lightweight and comfortable than their predecessors, and can straighten teeth using braces , close gaps, and correct many bite problems in relative comfort. In terms of cost, metal braces are cheaper than some clear aligner treatments and can fix many alignment issues, including complex orthodontic problems. It can be visible or invisible braces.
What is the procedure ?
Custom-made braces to fit
After an initial consultation, our orthodontics teams will take a series of impressions. Your dental braces will then be made and fitted by our Sydney dentists to ensure they fit comfortably.
Gradual tightening
The arch-wires running through the brackets are tightened periodically by our dentists. Frequent tightening ensures that dental braces apply continual and consistent pressure throughout your orthodontic treatment.
Slow and steady movement
Over time, the tensioning wires will apply gentle pressure to the teeth allowing them to move in a specified direction. The bone beneath the teeth also changes shape to provide stability.
The finished result
After some time, typically 12-18 months, your dental braces have done their job. Our dentists will remove them to reveal a straighter, healthier, confidence-boosting smile.
