What is orthodontics?

Looking for the best orthodontic treatment in Preston, Melbourne? As a trusted orthodontics provider for Preston and the surrounding suburbs — including Thornbury, Northcote, Reservoir, Coburg and Bundoora — we make straighter smiles accessible close to home. Orthodontic treatment uses different methods, including internal lingual braces, conventional braces, Invisalign, or clear braces. It helps hold your teeth tightly together and allows gradual shifting in the position of the misaligned teeth. The primary purpose is to correct your teeth’s position and improve the bite, jaw, and facial features.

Orthodontics is a dental field that corrects misaligned teeth and jaws using braces or aligners. It improves function and appearance, addressing cosmetic and functional issues. Treatment involves personalised plans, applying gentle pressure to straighten teeth. It can be done at any age and aims to provide a healthier smile.

Malocclusion — a misalignment of upper and lower teeth, affecting biting and chewing.
Bad bite patterns — overbites, underbites, and crossbites can cause uneven teeth wear, cracked or chipped teeth, and other dental issues.
Overcrowded smiles — occur when teeth do not grow properly or at all due to a lack of space for proper development.

Orthodontics for teenagers & children

Orthodontics is important for teenagers and children. Treatment addresses issues like crooked teeth, misaligned jaws, and bite problems. Orthodontic care aims to guide jaw growth, align teeth, and create a harmonious bite.

Teenagers often receive appliances to correct misalignments. Children may undergo interceptive orthodontics to guide dental development. Orthodontic treatment improves both function and aesthetics. Regular check-ups are crucial for monitoring and timely intervention.

FAQ’s about orthodontics

Orthodontics is a popular solution for transforming the look of your teeth. To help you understand orthodontics a little more, we’ve answered some of your most frequently asked questions. For more information on our orthodontic services in Melbourne, contact us.

How does orthodontics work?+
Different orthodontic options work in different ways. At The Smile Designer, we offer Clear Aligner options to treat your orthodontic problems. Invisalign or similar clear aligners involve creating and implementing a set of clear aligners to straighten your teeth. They are custom-made to fit your teeth and don’t involve any wires and brackets — an easy to handle option. For more information, contact us today.
How much does orthodontics cost?+
The price of orthodontics will depend on which option you’re choosing when it comes to straightening your teeth. If you opt for traditional braces, the average price may range from $8,500 to $12,000. However, prices may increase depending on individual cases. Alternatively, choosing Invisalign means the average cost could range between $6,500 to $12,000 depending on the difficulty of the case and the options chosen.
