Orthodontics at Wynyard Dental Clinic
Having teeth and jaws that are properly aligned makes it easier to keep your smile healthy, reducing the risk of dental disease. A malocclusion (misaligned bite) isn’t just an aesthetic concern; it can also increase your chance of developing TMJ disorder (TMD), chronic migraines and irregular wear patterns on your teeth.
Which Types of Braces Are Available?
The type of orthodontics you choose depends on things like your age, lifestyle and severity of tooth misalignment. Our family dentists offer the following:
- Ceramic Braces – If you need the comprehensive approach of traditional braces but prefer not to have visible brackets and wires, then tooth-coloured ceramic appliances are a great alternative. Ceramic braces work just like metal ones do, but they blend in with your smile.
- Invisalign® - Fitted, custom orthodontic aligners are removable and convenient. Take them out during meals and brush or floss like usual. With Invisalign, you enjoy discreet teeth straightening and no fixed appliances inside your mouth.
- Orthodontic Appliances – Growth modification, space retainers and palatal expanders are just a few examples of the types of orthodontic appliances that we offer. These unique aids each play specific roles in proper tooth eruption, alignment and orofacial development. If your child lost a tooth prematurely or has a habit such as finger sucking, then an oral appliance can limit the extent of orthodontic correction that’s needed later on.
- Conventional Orthodontics – Get affordable braces for yourself or your child with our in-house traditional orthodontic treatments. We recommend a screening on all children by their 7th birthday; at this point, they will have a combination of both adult and baby teeth.
Do You Need Orthodontic Treatment?
If you suspect that you or your child needs braces, the first thing to do is schedule a consultation to evaluate the alignment of your teeth and jaws. This visit is also a great opportunity to discuss aesthetic concerns, like gapped or crooked teeth.
Aligning your teeth may be the best first step in a complete smile makeover, as their functional relationship affects the way your bite wears over time.
