Do I Need Orthodontic Treatment?
Some people suffer from protruding upper front teeth which look unsightly and may knock their confidence. These prominent teeth are also more at risk of damage. Perhaps your upper and lower teeth don’t meet together properly and this can cause an incorrect bite. Orthodontics can correct both of these problems.
Failing to address these problems can lead to more severe dental issues such as tooth decay, difficulty chewing, and even headaches and jaw strain. Our Randwick orthodontic treatment can help you bite and chew more easily and takes away any strain.

What Does Orthodontics Involve?
Although orthodontic treatment is best in childhood, orthodontics for adults is just as effective and equally as important. In fact, in recent years, we’ve noticed a huge rise in adults considering orthodontics.

Orthodontic Braces and How they Work
Metal braces are still the most effective treatment for straightening crooked teeth but thankfully modern day versions are lighter in structure, smaller, faster, and more comfortable to wear. We currently provide patients with:
• Traditional braces – These are fashioned from high-grade stainless steel with metal brackets that are cemented in place on each tooth. Although they’re just as visible as they always were, they’re easier to clean and produce great results faster. In addition, when it comes to braces cost, Sydney patients will be pleased to know, that they’re also the cheapest option.
• Ceramic braces – A firm favourite with our adult and teenage patients, ceramic braces in Sydney boast a similar design to traditional braces but are less noticeable because of their transparent brackets and wiring. Although they’re more fragile they cause less irritation to the gums than traditional braces.
Treatment times vary according to your individual case and the type of orthodontic appliance being worn but usually they average between 18 – 24 months.

How Do Orthodontic Braces Work?
Orthodontic braces work by applying constant pressure to your teeth. Both metal and ceramic braces utilise brackets linked together with thin arch wires while small elastic bands provide the connective force necessary to gradually move the teeth and jaw. During treatment, the wires are slowly tightened and ultimately this has the effect of moving the teeth into their correct position.
When treatment has finished, retainers will need to be worn for a period to allow the surrounding bones and gums to settle. Failure to wear a retainer can cause your teeth to move back into their original position, undoing all of your hard work. This in turn may result in visiting us again for further braces in the Sydney CBD area.
