Orthodontic Dental Braces Bentleigh East

There are two kinds of braces: traditional metal brackets or ceramic brackets.

Metal brackets are the most recognisable form of teeth braces on the market today. They’re used to correct a range of orthodontic issues such as straightening teeth, overcrowding, underbites and overbites. Their design has evolved significantly over the last 100 years, so modern-day metal bracket braces are slimline and comfortable to wear.

Ceramic braces are the same as traditional braces except the brackets are made from a ceramic, tooth-coloured material. While both are equally effective at correcting orthodontic issues, patients wanting a discreet look typically choose ceramic teeth braces.

Most people are surprised to hear that getting braces is a relatively painless and straightforward procedure. The dentists at off our locations use a low friction, passive self-ligation technology that delivers efficiency, reduced treatment time and increased patient comfort. During the consultation, your dentist will take you through each step of the procedure and answer any questions you may have to help put your mind at ease.

Needing braces as a kid is a common childhood experience. Kids with extensive teeth crowding or malocclusion may benefit from interceptive orthodontics before their permanent teeth come through. Getting braces as a teenager is also the best way to ensure a confident adult smile.

The best way to achieve the desired outcome is to speak to our team of highly trained dentists. We are proud to be able to provide excellent and affordable options to all our patients.

Teeth can move at any age, so it’s never too late to get braces. We regularly recommend braces as a viable treatment for our adult patients.
