Our dentists have completed additional training in the field of orthodontics to offer a range of orthodontic treatments to correct teeth alignment. At Your Family Dental we provide care and personalised orthodontic treatments to help both children and adults achieve a straighter and more confident smile.
For orthodontic treatments, we offer braces and clear aligners for children and adults of all ages.
Are braces right for you?
Traditional orthodontic treatment with braces—whether metal or clear—is designed to apply gentle and consistent pressure over time to gradually shift your teeth into the correct position. While braces are often fitted for children with misaligned teeth, they are effective for individuals of all ages, including adults who may not have had the opportunity to wear braces in childhood.
It’s never too late to achieve the smile you deserve! The ideal age for getting braces is typically between 9 and 14, as jaws and facial bones are still growing and more adaptable. However, adult braces are equally effective; they may just take a little longer to achieve the same results.
Braces can correct numerous dental issues such as crowded, crooked, gappy and rotated teeth. They ensure your teeth positioning and function improves, rather than worsens as you age. Aside from the health benefits, the aesthetic benefits can do wonders to improve your self-esteem. Being self-conscious about your smile will become a thing of the past.
Are clear aligners a better option for you?
Clear orthodontic aligners, often referred to as invisible braces, are a modern alternative to traditional braces. Unlike braces, which are visible and consist of brackets and wires, clear aligners are made from transparent material, making them much less noticeable. This subtle appearance makes them a popular choice for patients seeking to straighten their teeth without the aesthetic concerns of traditional braces. Additionally, clear aligners are easier to clean and maintain since they can be removed for brushing and flossing, promoting better oral hygiene throughout the treatment process.
Many people wonder whether invisible aligners are as effective as traditional braces. Since everyone’s teeth are unique, the answer varies from person to person. Regardless of whether you choose aligners or braces, our dental team can tailor a treatment plan to meet your specific needs. During your consultation, the dentist will provide information on which option is best for you, and in most cases, the final choice will be yours.
If your teeth are slightly misaligned, gapped, or crooked, they may require only minimal correction, making clear aligners an excellent choice. In fact, aligners can effectively treat most alignment issues, as they also provide continuous force when worn as prescribed. However, if your teeth are significantly misaligned, rotated, or very gappy, traditional braces may be the better option, as they are securely attached to your teeth and deliver consistent alignment pressure for more complex cases.
The number of invisible aligners you’ll need depends on the extent of correction required to fix your teeth and enhance your smile. Ultimately, the total number of aligner sets will vary based on the complexity of your treatment and the duration needed to achieve your desired results.
