Myobraces
Myobraces are removable dental trainers typically suited for ages 3-15. Flexible and easy to maintain, they can help realign teeth and correct oral habits that cause crooked positioning. Alternatively, they can also expand the palate to create room for teeth to properly grow in.
Invisalign
Modern, invisible and convenient, Invisalign is a popular choice for teeth straightening. While traditional metal braces can seem clunky and feel uncomfortable, Invisalign can help you achieve impressive results without the awkwardness.
Traditional Braces
Conventional braces are fixed to the front of the teeth and are suitable for patients of all ages. They consist of a series of either metal or clear brackets connected by an arch wire that runs through the slots of each bracket. Tensioning allows the wire to slowly guide the teeth into position.
Damon Braces
Damon braces are self-ligating braces which can help you straighten your teeth more comfortably than conventional braces. They’re gentler on the teeth and surrounding tissue because less friction and pressure are applied, and create faster results with minimal discomfort. Damon braces are also smaller and less noticeable, making them a more cosmetically appealing option compared to traditional braces.
Internal Lingual Braces
Internal lingual braces allow for a completely hidden orthodontic treatment. With brackets bonded to the backside or lingual side of the tooth, patients who choose this option can smile with confident, clear teeth over the course of their treatment.
Clear Ceramic Braces
Clear ceramic braces are an excellent option for teeth straightening. They’re made from a ceramic or porcelain material to match your exact tooth colour, allowing for a more natural look. They work just as effectively to create sustainable results as traditional braces, gently guiding your teeth into position while never making you worry about your smile.
It’s Never Too Early or Too Late To Get Braces
Children as young as 9 or 10 will benefit from an assessment for whether orthodontic treatment is necessary later on. As a child’s permanent teeth settle in, it’s best to implement early preventative treatment to reduce or eliminate the need for more serious treatment later in life. The ideal age to get braces is in early adolescence where a child has all their permanent teeth but is still receptive to restructuring due to their still developing jawbone tissue. Nevertheless, adults of all ages can wear braces to alter their teeth alignment effectively. To achieve better oral health and a more confident smile, braces is a reliable treatment method for teeth straightening that creates safe, lasting results.
Why Do You Need To Get Braces
Misaligned or crooked teeth cause poor oral health as well as significant medical problems. This can include anything from gum disease to chronic headaches and jaw pain as well as a risk of diabetes, heart disease, decay and the loss of natural teeth over time.
How Many Appointments Do You Need To Get Braces
The initial consultation to create a personalised treatment plan for your braces may take up to 2 hours. However, subsequent appointments be it for tensioning or other requirements will be much shorter and take between 15-30 minutes.
What Should You Expect When You First Get Braces
In the first few hours after getting your braces, it may take you longer to eat meals simply because you’ll need to adjust to chewing while wearing them. In some cases after routine tensioning, the teeth may feel more sensitive than usual. This sensation will easily go away over time. Patients with traditional braces should expect follow up visits every four to eight months after the initial placement.
