Starting with a properly aligned smile is a good way to protect your oral health. You might be surprised to learn how easy and convenient orthodontic treatment can be with invisible braces. At our Coffs Harbour, NSW dental clinic, we use both Invisalign and ClearCorrect for discreet treatment. Both brands are clear braces that work with plastic aligner trays that gently nudge the teeth into the proper position.
Am I too old for orthodontics?
No. We provide clear braces for patients of all ages. Because of their discreet nature, clear braces may fit in well with the professional and social lives of adults.
How do clear braces work?
Rather than using metal wires and brackets to straighten misaligned teeth, clear braces uses a series of clear plastic aligners to move teeth into the desired position. Every couple of weeks, patients will swap out their aligners for a new set until they have reached their smile goals.
How long does treatment last?
Treatment with clear braces may be quicker than with traditional orthodontics. Although each patient is different, in most cases, treatment lasts from six to 18 months.
Am I a good candidate for clear braces?
Clear braces can fix a number of dental issues, including teeth that are crooked and gapped, as well as underbite, overbite, and crossbite. But the best way to find out for sure if clear braces are right for you is to contact Dr Ward at our Coffs Harbour, NSW, dental clinic.
