Orthodontic Braces
Ah yes…. braces! Sydney patients apprehensively considering orthodontic treatment may already be casting their minds back to their schooldays. Along with the nostalgic smell of dusty old textbooks and school dinners, often a memory of a friend or classmate having to endure a mouth full of metal isn’t usually very far behind. Add to this the occasional cruel jibe of “metal mouth” or “brace face” and for anyone of a certain age, any mention of orthodontic braces may bring about a cold shudder. But that was in the past…
Nowadays, modern orthodontics are far removed from those clunky metal braces of old that used to glint in the sunlight every time the wearer smiled. They’re lightweight, they’re sleek, and most importantly, they’re discreet. Here at Evergreen Dental we provide a wide range of innovative orthodontic brace treatments which will transform your smile.
Braces in Chatswood – They’re not just for kids!
The concept behind wearing braces hasn’t changed. Appliances are worn for a fixed period of time and by applying gradual gentle pressure, the teeth move back to their intended position. However the systems used to create this concept have. 21st century orthodontics utilise contemporary materials such as lightweight titanium; ceramic braces that are tooth-coloured so they blend in with your smile; and clear acrylics for that totally discreet look. What’s more, modern braces in Sydney can be worn on the teeth, over the teeth, or in the case of lingual braces, behind the teeth. The results are that contemporary braces aren’t just for kids, they’re for adults too.
The goal of a general check-up is twofold. To start, we strive to find and evict food debris that’s calling your mouth home. With innovative and thorough cleaning practices, our dentists gently clean your entire mouth. Once your mouth is completely cleaned, we peer into the complex network of gums and enamel to seek out current or potential issues.
Here’s an interesting fact – According to the Australian Society of Orthodontics almost one in five orthodontic patients is an adult and this number is growing fast.
Orthodontics that Fit In with You
So why are more adults having treatment to correct their smiles? Here are a few reasons:
- They may not have had access to treatment when they were young
- They didn’t persist with retainers after childhood orthodontic treatment
- Impacted wisdom teeth may have shifted the teeth slightly out of alignment
The truth is that people are spending more money than ever on their appearances and couple this with the fact that a wide range of celebrities such as Tom Cruise, Faith Hill, and Gwen Steffani have recently been photographed wearing braces, it’s no surprise that orthodontic treatment is on the rise.
While advancements in technology play a part in this, the number of options available now means that adults can choose from a variety of brace systems that fit right in with their lifestyle.
