Braces
Braces are orthodontic devices used to straighten and align teeth, correct bite issues, and improve overall dental health. They consist of brackets, wires, and bands that work together to gradually move teeth into their desired positions over time. The braces system applies gentle, continuous pressure to the teeth, which encourages them to shift gradually into proper alignment. This process allows for the correction of various orthodontic issues, including crowded teeth, gaps between teeth, overbites, underbites, and crossbites.
The braces treatment process typically begins with a consultation with one of our dentists, where they can assess your dental alignment and recommend the most suitable treatment plan for your needs. This may include a referral to one of our highly experienced orthodontic partners, also located in the Northern Beaches.
Overall, braces offer an effective and reliable solution for correcting orthodontic issues and achieving a straighter, healthier smile. With advances in orthodontic technology and materials, braces have become more comfortable, efficient, and aesthetically pleasing than ever before.
While braces treatment may require some adjustment and maintenance, the results can be transformative, leading to improved dental function, enhanced appearance, and better overall oral health. After the braces are removed, a retainer may be recommended to help maintain the new alignment of the teeth.
