Orthodontics in Burwood – The consultation
Your treatment will always start with a consultation. Taking into account your needs and/or requirements – your chosen dentist can work out whether braces or aligner treatment is best for you.
It may be that you have a slightly crooked tooth in the smile line which spoils the look of your smile. In this case our dentist may recommend fast or accelerated braces treatments. Alternatively, if the problem is more one of function than aesthetics, then orthodontics treatment may extend to longer term dental braces. Either way, our patients can rest assured that we’ll find a workable solution for you.
Orthodontic evaluation in Burwood
The next step is an orthodontic evaluation, where we’ll take a series of x-rays, three-dimensional intra-oral images, and/or impressions. These records will then be sent to the laboratory where your bespoke dental braces are made.
The orthodontic fitting
For clear aligners, the fitting is easy. Our general dentists in Burwood will put the first one over your teeth and after giving you instructions for removal and replacement, the rest is up to you.
Bracket and wire style braces on the other hand are a little more tricky to fit, but once in place they stay for the duration. First the dentist will bond the brackets to your teeth, then the wires are threaded through. Finally, they’re adjusted for comfort. This process usually takes between 1-2 hours.
