Orthodontic Solutions
The benefits gained from orthodontic treatment can be remarkable and long-lasting. The earlier the treatment is performed, the better your outcome will be. At Dental House Melbourne, we believe that all children between the ages of 8 and 9 years old should be examined to identify potential dental problems, so that a remedy can be put in place to avoid problems happening in the future. Orthodontics fitted on children between the ages of 11 and 16 tend to yield the best results due to their bones being easier to move around.
That said, anyone can benefit from orthodontics, with adult treatments available in less obvious forms, such as ‘undetectable ceramic braces’ that are more appealing due to the advances in technology and the common social preference of discretion.
During your appointment, we will make sure your teeth and gums are healthy enough to support orthodontics, and we will then take the necessary x-rays and photos to decide and fashion the best solution for your needs.

Securing the Orthodontics
Fixed braces are secured to your teeth using dental adhesives, while Invisalign is a removable device made using the latest technology to gradually adjust the position of your teeth. Impressions will be taken and then sent to a lab where a dental technician will create several retainers, each one made to adjust your teeth a little more than the last. You will be able to take them out and replace them in however many stages are needed over a period of time, or until the desired outcome is achieved.

Looking after Your Orthodontics
It’s always important to maintain good oral health; however, it’s imperative that you do so while undergoing orthodontic treatment. Whether you have fixed or removable braces, be sure to keep them clean and healthy to avoid an increased risk of gum disease or tooth decay. There are several cleaning products and dental tools on the market, each designed to help you optimise your dental health while you undergo treatment, so be sure to do your research or speak to your dentist for advice.

Removing Your Orthodontics
Once your treatment has been successful, you will have a final check-up with your dentist. They will remove your fixed braces and perform a final assessment of your teeth, jaw and face. Most patients are delighted with their results and have a dramatically improved quality of life. In some cases, a retainer is required to avoid the teeth slipping back, which will be made for you to wear overnight.

Risk Factors
After a treatment has been successful, there can be a risk of tooth relapse, which can be avoided with a retainer (either fixed or removable). Another rare but potential risk includes root reduction – usually up to one or two millimetres. This can cause an issue if you ever contract gum disease, as your normal tooth support may be compromised. Complications with loss of periodontal support, bone support and failed soft tissue trauma can also happen – but rarely in healthy individuals.
Cost
The cost of orthodontics depends on three things:
Before you commit to any orthodontics, it’s important to choose a dentist with the appropriate expertise in relation to your wishes. Establishing trust is important, so asking your dentist the right questions, such as whether they have any before and after photos of patients with similar issues to yours, will put your mind at ease in regard to their abilities.
