Orthodontic treatment is a method of straightening or moving teeth to improve the appearance and function of the teeth.
It can also help to look after the long-term wellbeing of your teeth, gums and jaw joints by equally distributing the biting pressure over all teeth.
The benefits for orthodontics include:
Your Melbourne CBD dentist can carry out work that aims to achieve the following:
Closing gaps between the teeth
Treating an improper bite
Boosting the long-term health of teeth and gums
Orthodontic treatments not only improve the appearance of the teeth but also result in better chewing and speech and help protect teeth from damage and/or decay, in some cases.
To achieve these goals, your Melbourne CBD dentist uses a range of dental devices, including headgear, plates, and braces.
Invisalign® straightens your teeth through a series of clear, removable aligners, which gradually move your teeth into the desired position. Each aligner is custom-made to fit your specific needs.
It uses advanced 3D software to allow you to see the end results of treatment before you even start.
Fixed Space Maintainers – If a child loses a baby tooth, a space maintainer will prevent the two teeth on both sides of the space from moving into it until the permanent tooth comes through. A band is secured to one of the teeth next to the space, and a wire goes from the band to the other.
Removable Space Maintainers – These are alternatives to fixed-space maintainers.
Special Fixed Appliances – These can help control tongue thrusting or thumbsucking. They may be uncomfortable, especially when eating, so they are only used when needed.
