Modern treatments for crooked teeth… Braces?

Posted: 09 February 2010

I want to have straight teeth, will I need to see an orthodontist and what can I expect when I go for treatment?

At Apollonia we know that If you are not blessed with perfectly straight teeth the best way to achieve a beautiful smile is to opt for braces.
Braces have moved on from the train track look & don’t need to be as obvious as Ugly Betty’s

What do braces do?

Braces gradually straighten your teeth by applying a steady pressure which will realign them over a period of time

What types of braces are there?

Fixed Braces which are bonded to the tooth surface

Lingual fixed braces are mounted behind your teeth & popular with people who don’t want their braces to be seen

Removable braces used for simple cases

At Apollonia Dental & Cosmetic Centre we specialise in the following systems to achieve a great smile & believe that a cosmetic dental makeover can be enhanced through the use of braces.

Invisalign is a modern method that works through a series of invisible, removable & comfortable aligners .   

Inman Aligners are invisible and the results are quicker they are used mainly for front teeth.
