Enhance Your Smile with Orthodontics

Your smile can play a significant role in how you feel about yourself and how others perceive you. If you’re unhappy with the alignment of your teeth, it can impact more than just your appearance—it may affect your confidence, how you speak and even your oral health. Crowded, misaligned or crooked teeth can make it difficult to clean your teeth properly, potentially leading to more serious dental concerns over time. 

Orthodontics can offer a solution to these challenges, helping you achieve a straighter smile and the confidence that comes with it. Orthodontic treatments offer a range of options designed to improve the alignment of your teeth, offering both aesthetic and functional benefits.

Teeth Straightening Options

More and more people are turning to teeth straightening to enhance or change their smile. At Boroondara Family Dentist we offer several orthodontic treatment options to help you achieve your teeth straightening goals. 

Traditional Braces

Traditional braces consist of small metallic squares that are bonded to your teeth. These are attached to a flexible wire that applies gentle pressure to the teeth and gently guides them into their correct positions. Traditional braces are often used for children as they are capable of addressing complex orthodontic needs during the earlier stages of growth and development. This adaptability allows orthodontists to correct problems such as overcrowding, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. 

Clear Braces

Clear aligners, often referred to as clear braces, are an increasingly popular choice for those seeking a discreet way to straighten their teeth. These aligners or clear braces are plastic devices that conform to the shape of your teeth to move them into position. A plan is made and comprises of a number of aligners that are changed every 2 -3 weeks depending on the system we use. At our clinic, we offer a range of clear aligner systems, including Invisalign, Trio Clear, and Clear Correct, ensuring we choose the one best suited to your specific dental needs and lifestyle. With clear braces, you can achieve a straighter smile without the visibility of traditional braces, making them an excellent choice for adults and those who prefer a subtle approach to orthodontic treatment. 

Other Orthodontic Devices

Specific dental issues can sometimes be addressed through the use of other orthodontic devices. These devices are designed to sit in the top or bottom of your mouth and are usually removable. Orthodontic devices can target as little as one or many teeth and can also be used to stimulate changes to your jawbone to create more room for your teeth. 

The Benefits of a Healthy Smile

A healthy smile can contribute to your confidence and appearance while also having a positive impact on your oral and general health. Straighter teeth can make brushing and flossing more effective by reducing hard to reach areas where plaque can accumulate. This may help to prevent issues such as cavities and gum disease and makes it easier for you to preserve the health of your teeth for many years to come.

Are There Any Risks to Orthodontic Treatment?

Each treatment method has some potential risks that should be considered in choosing the best option for your teeth. These risks are specific to each patient and their individual circumstances and are best discussed with your dentist for tailored advice. 

With any form of orthodontic treatment, you can expect to experience some sensitivity and discomfort as your teeth begin to move into their new positions. This is a normal part of the process, and your dentist can guide you on how to manage these side effects and ensure your treatment progresses smoothly. 

Orthodontic FAQs
