If the thought of being seen wearing braces is putting you off straightening your teeth, you're not alone. This is how many of our patients feel. However, we have the answer - clear ceramic braces.
Hidden braces, also known as lingual braces, straighten teeth so discreetly no-one will know you're having treatment, unless you tell them of course. That is because hidden braces are bonded to the back of your teeth, next to your tongue.
If you've been told your teeth are too crooked for Invisalign, then come see us! We've made it our mission to be able to offer Invisalign clear aligners to even those with the most complex teeth straightening problems. We don't want the look of braces to get in the way of you having a beautiful smile. Lane Cove Orthodontics offers both Invisalign clear aligners and traditional metal braces.
Invisalign is a virtually invisible solution so you can smile during as well as after treatment. In fact, virtually no one will know you’re having treatment, unlike traditional braces which are hard to miss.
Here at Lane Cove Orthodontics we are passionate about technology and improving comfort and treatment time for our patients. Some of the latest orthodontic technologies we use in the clinic include AcceleDent and the Intraoral camera.
Once you complete orthodontic treatment you will be required to wear a retainer to maintain your new straight smile. This step is very important and should be seen as the final stage of treatment. If you don’t wear a retainer you risk your teeth becoming crooked again.
Suresmile is a revolutionary technology that enables orthodontists to plan a patient’s treatment to one tenth of a millimetre. This means, teeth aren’t just moved effectively but precisely.
Traditional braces are the age-old way to straighten teeth and have been used for decades. At Lane Cove Orthodontics, they remain one of our preferred treatment methods.
