What are the 2 types of braces?

There are 5 main types of braces available today: Metal braces. Ceramic braces. Self-ligating braces. Lingual braces. Clear aligners like Invisalign.

What age is best for braces?

However, a general rule of thumb is your kids should look at getting braces between the ages of 9 and 14. Usually, this is before they've gone through puberty. If they've already gone through it, this means it'll be harder to adjust their jaw and/or teeth, as they've already settled into their post-puberty positions.

How much are the dental braces?

Metal braces (traditional braces): $3,000 - 7,000. Ceramic braces: $4,000 - 8,000. Lingual braces: $8,000 - 10,000. Invisalign: $4,000 - 7,400.

Quality Metal and Coloured Braces

Tooth Alignment for Beautiful Smiles

Are you searching for reliable teeth straightening dental treatments that can help you attain the beautiful smile you desire? Get in touch with Winston Hills Family Dental Care today for quality dental braces. Our orthodontic treatments straighten crooked teeth and correct bite issues. Braces have been common in the dental industry for decades and remain a go-to solution for patients looking to straighten their crooked teeth. Braces consist of metal wires and brackets that we connect to your teeth. As we tighten these wires over the weeks and months, your teeth gradually move to align in the proper position. Depending on your situation, we might use rubber bands or elastics to aid the correction process further. Thanks to the alignment our dental braces help you achieve, you can enjoy an extensive range of benefits. For instance, patients can enhance their dental health and improve their speech and self-confidence. Get in touch with us at 02 9624 6884 to schedule your consultation and lasting access solutions to your misalignment and bite issues.

Our Treatment Process

At Winston Hills Family Dental Care, we offer two different types of braces, metal and colour. Metal braces are the standard method of treating misalignment due to their durability. If you are looking for variety, you could opt for our coloured braces. Regardless of the option you go for, the treatment procedure is similar. We begin by conducting a series of tests to gain a clear picture of your bite and misalignment issues. Afterwards, we will take impressions of your teeth and use the mould to guide your treatment plan. If necessary, we might extract a few teeth to create space for proper alignment. Our team will then prepare your teeth before placing the brackets, inserting and shaping the wires, and fitting each bracket with bands and elastic ligatures.

Prevent Gum Disease

Straightening your teeth makes it difficult for food particles and plaque to get stuck, helping you lower your risks of developing gum disease.

Prevent Tooth Damage

Misalignment often results in an uneven distribution of chewing and biting pressure, which increases the likelihood of tooth damage.

Enhance Digestive Health

Those with straight teeth are able to improve the effectiveness of their chewing. In doing so, they can significantly enhance their digestive health.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Conditions Can I Treat with Braces?

You can use dental braces to resolve a wide range of dental issues, including tooth misalignment, undersized teeth, bite gaps, crowding, and spacing problems.

How Long Will I Need to Wear My Braces?

Most patients wear their braces for at least two or three years. However, the exact treatment period will depend on the severity of your misalignment and bite problem. You can shorten the treatment period by wearing your rubber bands and following the dentist’s instructions.

How Do I Look After My Braces?

Maintaining your braces requires a consistent oral hygiene routine. For starters, gently brush each bracket, flossing between them to eliminate unwanted food particles and plaque build-up. You will also need to schedule regular check-ups with our dentist so we can clean the braces, make adjustments, and change the bands and ligatures.
