Braces
Braces are small attachments that are placed on the teeth during treatment. Braces are the most effective and most efficient way to straighten your teeth and create your beautiful smile. They are usually positioned on the outside of the teeth, however, for patients that want truly invisible treatment, braces can be placed on the inside of the teeth. Braces are available in metal and clear varieties.
Metal Braces
Metal braces are the most commonly used fixed appliance and are made out of medical grade stainless steel. They are small in size and dimension which maximises comfort and makes it easier to clean your teeth. Metal braces are popular with teenage patients as they can be personalised with different colours at each visit.
Clear Braces
Clear braces are made of very fine, translucent porcelain and are less visible compared to metal braces. They are just as effective as regular metal braces and are a good choice for adult patients who prefer a more discreet treatment option.
Invisible/Inside Braces
Inside braces are placed on the inside surfaces of your teeth and are invisible from the front. This is the perfect option for any patient that wants truly invisible treatment! Cases using inside braces require additional planning and laboratory steps, and the adjustment appointments are more involving. As a result, the cost of inside braces is higher compared to treatment with conventional braces. Since inside braces are located next to the tongue, they may take slightly longer to get used to compared to regular braces.
