Orthodontics (Braces) Oatley
CLASSIC AND PREDICTABLE
WHY CHOOSE BRACES?
Complex comprehensive orthodontic cases often cannot be treated with clear aligners such as Invisalign. In these cases, more control and the need to add extra mechanics means braces are the quickest and best option. Also some patients don’t trust themselves to wear invisalign!
WHAT ARE BRACES?
Braces are the classic “train tracks” and wires that are glued onto patients teeth to allow force to be applied to move teeth. Newer advances in technology have allowed braces to be more efficient and more aesthetic. Clear brackets are no almost invisible to the eye, and offer all the benefits or regular metal brackets!
