We offer comprehensive orthodontic treatments to help you achieve beautifully aligned teeth and a healthy bite

What is Orthodontics?

Orthodontics is a specialized field of dentistry focused on diagnosing, preventing, and treating dental and facial irregularities, such as crooked teeth, overcrowding, gaps, and bite issues. The goal of orthodontic treatment is to align the teeth and jaws, improving both the function and appearance of your smile.

Orthodontic treatment can address a wide range of dental issues, including:

• Crooked or misaligned teeth
• Overcrowded teeth
• Gaps or spaces between teeth
• Overbite, underbite, crossbite, or open bite
• Jaw misalignment
• Speech difficulties related to dental alignment

At Narre Warren Family Dental Group, we offer various orthodontic solutions to suit different needs and preferences:
1. Traditional Braces - Traditional metal braces are a time-tested and effective option for straightening teeth and correcting bite issues. These braces use metal brackets and wires that are periodically adjusted to gradually move your teeth into their desired positions. Modern braces are smaller and more comfortable than ever, and they can be customized with colorful bands for a more personalized look.
2. Clear Braces - Clear braces offer the same effectiveness as traditional metal braces but are made from tooth-colored or clear materials, making them less noticeable. This option is ideal for patients who want the benefits of braces with a more discreet appearance.
3. Early Orthodontic Treatment (Phase 1) - For younger patients, early orthodontic intervention can help guide the growth and development of the teeth and jaws, potentially reducing the need for more extensive treatment later on. Phase 1 treatment typically begins around the age of 7 and may involve partial braces, expanders, or other appliances.
4. Retainers and Post-Treatment Care - After completing your orthodontic treatment, wearing a retainer is essential to maintain your new smile. Retainers help keep your teeth in their new positions and prevent them from shifting back. We offer both removable and fixed retainers, depending on your needs and preferences.

The Benefits of Orthodontic Treatment

1. Improved Oral Health - Straight teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities, gum disease, and other dental issues. Proper alignment also ensures that your bite functions correctly, preventing excessive wear on certain teeth and avoiding jaw problems.
2. Enhanced Aesthetics - A straight, well-aligned smile can dramatically improve your appearance and boost your confidence. Whether you’re a teen or an adult, orthodontic treatment can give you the smile you’ve always wanted.
3. Better Functionality - Orthodontic treatment corrects bite issues, making it easier to chew, speak, and even breathe properly. By aligning your teeth and jaws, orthodontics can improve the overall function of your mouth.
4. Long-Term Investment in Your Smile - Orthodontic treatment is a long-term investment in your oral health and well-being. The results of treatment can last a lifetime, providing you with a healthy, beautiful smile that you can be proud of.

The Orthodontic Treatment Process

1. Consultation and Evaluation - Your orthodontic journey begins with a comprehensive consultation at Narre Warren Family Dental Group. We’ll assess your dental health, discuss your goals, and recommend the best treatment options for your needs. This may involve taking X-rays, photographs, and impressions of your teeth.
2. Customized Treatment Plan - Based on your evaluation, we’ll create a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. We’ll explain the process, timeline, and what you can expect during your treatment.
3. Regular Adjustments and Monitoring - Throughout your orthodontic treatment, you’ll have regular appointments to adjust your braces or aligners and monitor your progress. Our team will ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned and make any necessary adjustments.
4. Completion and Retention - Once your teeth have reached their desired positions, your braces or aligners will be removed, and you’ll receive a retainer to maintain your new smile. We’ll provide guidance on how to care for your teeth and retainer to keep your smile looking its best.
