Health Benefits Of Braces

In straightening crooked teeth, braces not only improve your appearance but also benefit your oral health and general wellbeing by:

Helping to prevent tooth decay. Straight teeth are easier to clean. This reduces the risk of plaque attacking tooth enamel and causing cavities.
Protecting your gums. Crooked teeth can lead to gum disease (periodontitis) as well as tooth decay, as infection eats into the soft tissue and bones supporting your teeth.
Helping digestion. Orthodontic problems make it difficult to chew your food properly. Our stomachs aren’t designed to break down large lumps of food.

About Misalignment

Malocclusion

Malocclusion is the technical term for teeth that aren’t in their ideal position between the two dental arches. Put simply it means “bad bite.” Different malocclusions can cause various issues with your oral health and can also impact your facial aesthetics. In cosmetic dentistry fixing malocclusions can play a big role, not only by making teeth straighter but by also providing a solid foundation for any additional aesthetic work such as crowns or veneers. Orthodontic treatment is one way to fix malocclusions.

Children’s Orthodontics

The development of your child’s primary (also known as ‘milk’) teeth will be the foundation of how their adult teeth will erupt and function later in life. This is why if your child’s teeth are crooked or their bite is misaligned we recommend orthodontic treatment to help realign your child’s teeth or jaw to solve any bite issues.

The Australian Society of Orthodontists recommends that children’s teeth are evaluated by an orthodontist no later than seven years of age. By seven, most adult front teeth have erupted but the jawbone is still growing. This is one of the reasons why early intervention is ideal: because the jawbone is still growing it can mean faster and more effective treatment. Other reasons for early intervention include:

That it can prevent other, more serious problems from developing at a later age.
If further treatment is needed later in life it can be shorter and less involved.
If your child’s case is severe, treatment later in life may be not sufficient.

There are a number of health benefits to straight teeth:

Improved hygiene: straight teeth are easier to brush and floss than crooked teeth. Insufficient cleaning can lead to gum disease, tooth decay and in extreme cases tooth loss.
Problems with bite: a bad bite (malocclusion) can lead to teeth grinding and clenching which can wear down teeth and cause jaw joint problems. A bad bite can cause alignment problems which has been known to make speaking properly difficult.

At Aesthetic Laser Dentistry in Melbourne we understand that a child’s jaw continuously changes and develops as they grow. With this in mind we have placed a large importance on tracking your child’s dental development. Our friendly team will monitor your child’s teeth and jaws so that we can gain a full understanding of what they need now or in early adolescence.

Adolescent Orthodontics

Our jaws do not stop developing until early adulthood (ages 16-20), which means teeth can be easily straightened and shifted with orthodontic treatment. At Aesthetic Laser Dentistry we provide patients with a range of teeth straightening options for teenagers. Two of those orthodontic treatments we offer are:

Braces

Braces are an affordable and effective orthodontic treatment that has been highly developed over the past couple of decades. Our individual prescription computer aided designed braces give your child a constant and efficient method for straightening their smile.

We at Aesthetic Laser Dentistry in Melbourne will recommend this treatment as it is one of the most favourable orthodontic treatments available. Treatment time for conventional metal braces can take anywhere from 12 to 24 months. However each case is assessed on a patient-by-patient basis.

Adult Orthodontics

While adult orthodontic treatment typically takes longer, the team at Aesthetic Laser Dentistry in Melbourne can still help you achieve a beautiful, straight smile. Discover how you can find the straight smile you have always wanted with Aesthetic Laser Dentistry’s high quality orthodontic treatments.

Some of the treatments we offer our adult patients include, but are not limited to:

Traditional braces

Traditional braces have been around for a long time and are still being used because they are an effective and successful way to straighten teeth. Metal braces have evolved quite a bit since they were first introduced almost a hundred years ago.

Today’s braces are less bulky, less obvious and more comfortable than they once were. Depending on the severity of your case, metal braces treatment might last 12-24 months. Of course, the treatment time does depend on the condition of your teeth and jaws.
