Have you ever considered straightening your teeth? At Casuarina Square Dental Care, we offer traditional braces and Invisalign. These treatments not only help you achieve straight, healthy smiles but also improve your overall oral health.
Is Orthodontics in Casuarina Square Right for Me?
With today’s technologies, most patients are good candidates for orthodontic treatments. The best way to determine whether braces or Invisalign are right for you is to schedule an exam with one of our dentists. During this consultation, we check the state of your teeth, take x-rays, and determine which option is right for your smile goals—or whether orthodontic treatment is the best choice.
Some of the problems orthodontics in Darwin can correct are:
- Crooked teeth
- Teeth that overlap
- Crossbites
- Underbites
- Overbites
- Rotated teeth
If teeth straightening is an option, we schedule treatment based on the best choice for you.
Traditional Braces
Traditional braces are a trusted method for straightening teeth and correcting bites. They rely on brackets and adjustable aligning wires, which your dentist adjusts periodically to slowly bring your teeth in line. Traditional braces are fixed and can only be removed by a dentist, which makes compliance simple and effective.
Clear Aligners with Invisalign
For Invisalign, we take careful impressions of your teeth for the Invisalign lab. The lab fabricates your aligners based on these results. You wear your aligner for about two weeks before changing to the next one in the series. You continue until you’ve exhausted your supply, which marks the end of treatment.
The aligners are discreet and removable, making brushing, flossing, and eating simple and comfortable. You don't need to change your routine.
Your dentist may recommend Invisalign in Darwin for mild to moderate orthodontic issues. However, we often suggest traditional braces for severe bite issues, as they will achieve the best results. Your dentist will discuss what to expect in either case.
After Orthodontic Treatment in Darwin
When orthodontic therapy is finished, we create a custom retainer for you to wear. This retainer prevents orthodontic relapse, meaning your teeth return to their previous state. Typically, you wear this retainer every night during sleep.
Retainers are easy to care for, as you can brush and rinse them in the morning after wear. Store your retainers in a plastic case and keep them out of reach of pets.
