Straight Teeth and Lovely Smiles Start with Braces

Fixed Braces In Erina, NSW

Fixed braces in Erina are a well-known method for correcting dental issues such as crowding, crooked teeth, spacing, protruded teeth, and bite correction. ‘Fixed’ means that the brackets are attached to your teeth for the duration of An image of blonde siblings with braces on in Erina treatment, which makes it simple for the braces to do their work with more comfort and less stress for the patient.

As an Erina Orthodontist near Erina Fair, we offer fixed braces that attach brackets to your teeth for the duration of treatment. This sometimes makes them the better option for patients with complex bite corrections.

What's the Best Option: Metal or Clear Braces

When it comes to braces, you can choose from traditional metal braces or clear ceramic braces at Sunrise Orthodontics, your trusted Orthodontist in Erina.

Metal braces are the most popular and cost-effective option for straightening your teeth.

Clear or ceramic braces are made of a tooth-coloured material that enhances the aesthetics of the anterior teeth. This option is more popular with adult or older patients.

Both options use a wire that connects them and facilitates tooth movement and alignment. Elastic ties hold the wire to the brackets, and patients can choose coloured ties to add a bit of flair to their smile. We will change the ties and wires periodically, and Dr Daniela will adjust your braces to maintain the necessary gentle pressure and keep tooth movement progressing.

Keeping teeth clean and plaque-free during orthodontic treatment with braces in Erina is paramount to achieving the best results. Our team will teach you proper brushing and flossing techniques, as it takes extra effort to navigate brushing and flossing around brackets and wires.

You may also need to adjust your diet slightly during treatment to avoid foods that might damage or pull off brackets and prolong the treatment process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are braces better than clear aligners?

In many cases, braces or clear aligners can achieve the desired outcome. However, braces may be the better choice for some patients with more complex bite concerns.

The best way to determine the right orthodontic treatment for your smile is to book an evaluation with a specialist orthodontist like Dr Daniela at Sunrise Orthodontics.

During an evaluation, she'll use an exam, x-rays, photos, and digital impressions to determine your needs and then create a customised treatment plan.

She'll review your treatment options, discuss timelines for completing your new smile, and what the cost will be. You'll leave with a clear understanding of your treatment needs and the plan to achieve your smile goals.

When Should I Have an Orthodontic Evaluation?

Children should have their first orthodontic evaluation around age seven to nine to see if early orthodontic treatment would benefit them.

Most kids start orthodontic treatment around age 12 and should have an evaluation at that time.

Adults can have an orthodontic evaluation whenever they think the treatment might be beneficial. Some adults never had the chance to align their teeth during adolescence, while others may have had previous orthodontic treatment but have experienced tooth movement or shifting since then.

We welcome your call to our Erina orthodontic clinic if you'd like to arrange a booking with Dr Daniela.
