Dreaming of that knock-out smile that brightens the room? Orthodontic treatment can help you achieve a flawless smile.
Not everyone was born with that movie-star smile. Our aim is to boost our patient’s confidence by aligning teeth to keep them beautiful and functioning correctly for life.
Orthodontic braces can improve smiles that are over-crowded, protruding, have cross bites or gaps and there are various treatments that can be used to gently force the teeth back into position.
People often become accustomed to malocclusions (teeth that don’t bite together evenly) however without treatment they can lead to pain and problems further down the track.
Orthodontic treatment can improve cosmetic and functionality issues including:
- Overcrowding
- Missing or extra teeth
- Protruding teeth or jaws
- Deep overbite
- Crossbite
- Difficulty in chewing and swallowing
Orthodontic treatment traditionally requires the patient to wear a brace (appliance). Gentle pressure is applied to the brace to shift the teeth into correct alignment. This takes between 1-2 years depending on the severity of the problem.
Orthodontists will monitor the progress during this time to make any necessary adjustments. In rare cases one or more teeth may need to be removed before treatment.
