Orthodontics
How Orthodontics Work
The goal of orthodontic treatment is the same for children, teenagers or adults – to straighten teeth so they look and function better.
Our Victoria dentists achieve this with braces or clear aligners that put gentle pressure on your teeth to move them into the correct position over a period of months or years.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
With Invisalign clear aligners, your smile is gradually straightened using a series of individually customized, clear plastic aligners that are adjusted over a period of time.
There is a certain convenience that comes with Invisalign - they are removable for when you'd prefer no one know that you are straightening your teeth.
Similar in appearance to custom whitening trays, they are easy to insert. You can even remove them to eat, drink, brush and floss!
How Braces Straighten Teeth
Braces apply continuous pressure to the teeth over a period of time, slowly moving them into their new, corrected positions.
As pressure is applied and the teeth move, the bone changes shape to accommodate the new positions of the teeth.
If your case requires traditional metal braces, our dentists will refer you to an orthodontist they work with closely to achieve your goals.
