Braces Dentist Melbourne

• Traditional braces (the most commonly needed orthodontic appliance)
• Conventional braces (the type that most people think of) require elastic or metal ties to hold the archwire in place.
• Self-ligating braces (the type our dentists recommend most often) do not require elastic or metal ties. Self-ligating braces create proper tooth alignment faster, more comfortably, and with fewer adjustments (and office visits) than conventional braces.
• Ceramic braces are less noticeable than traditional braces because they tend to blend with the wearer’s natural tooth color. They are similar to conventional braces, but because they are made from porcelain, they are more expensive and susceptible to damage.

To begin, you will have a free initial consultation with our highly experience orthodontic trained dentists. He will determine what your teeth straightening goals are and to establish whether you are a candidate for this method. As part of the process to determine if you are a candidate, our staff will take x-rays and pictures, as well as make impressions of your teeth for models. If you are established as a candidate for Braces, these x-rays, pictures and impressions will be utilized to create your exact treatment course which will show exact teeth movements throughout the process.
