Let us help you achieve a smile that not only is beautiful to look at but also helps you maintain better dental health.
The majority of adults suffer from a certain extent of dental misalignment, and this includes those who have undergone orthodontic treatment previously. Advances in dental technology mean that straightening your teeth is now a lot more discreet, convenient and comfortable than ever before.
Fixed dental braces
If you have severe or complicated dental misalignment issues, then traditional orthodontic treatment may be the right option for you. This option consists of fixed metal brackets and wires that can be attached to the front of your teeth to form a brace that applies constant pressure on your teeth to push them into a more desirable position.
There are many different types of fixed braces that have been developed over the last few decades. Traditional orthodontic braces are made out of metal and can be highly visible when being worn, but if this is an issue for you, then we can offer more discreet options such as ceramic braces. Ceramic braces work in exactly the same way as the traditional option; however, the components are designed to match the colour of your teeth and, therefore, be significantly less visible when fitted. Other fixed braces that are even more discreet are lingual braces, which can be fixed to the back surface of your teeth and, therefore, be almost invisible in your mouth.
Invisible aligners
If your teeth are slightly crooked, then we recommend that you speak to our dentist Coorparoo and find out about invisible aligners to help straighten your teeth. These aligners are removable and can be taken out of your mouth and replaced as necessary; therefore they are significantly more convenient. They are made out of clear plastic so that they would be almost invisible when worn, and they work by applying gentle pressure on your teeth to help correct mild or moderate misalignment issues. Invisible aligners are a good option for those who have undergone orthodontic treatment previously and are looking to improve their smile or those who do not require fixed orthodontics and have uncomplicated misalignment that can be treated easily.
Depending on the extent of misalignment that you begin with, you can have a beautiful and straight smile in approximately six months. Speak to our dentist Coorparoo at Brisbane Laser Dentist today and find out more about teeth straightening and other available treatment options.
