Experience a Straighter and Healthier Smile with Dental Braces

When you talk or smile, your teeth are often the first thing people notice. If you have significant bite issues or gaps in your teeth, this can impact your self-esteem and confidence.

Misaligned teeth can also lead to various dental health problems. They can be harder to clean properly, increasing the risk of bad breath, cavities, and gum disease over time.

Traditional metal braces are an effective treatment for addressing teeth misalignment. By gradually shifting your teeth into their proper positions, braces make them easier to clean and maintain. At Maylands Dental Centre, we offer modern orthodontic services, including braces, to help you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted. Our experienced team will develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs so you can enjoy a beautiful, straighter smile. We also provide a range of payment options to make your treatment more convenient and accessible.

If you have orthodontic concerns, don’t hesitate to schedule an appointment with our dental team today.

Common Reasons Why You May Need Dental Braces

Open Bite: An open bite is an orthodontic issue that is caused by habits such as tongue thrusting, thumb sucking and more. You will notice a gap between your top and bottom teeth when you smile, which might make it hard for you to eat or speak.
Overbite:: When you have an overbite, the upper teeth stick out further than the lower set. The more severe the overbite, the higher chance of dental problems. The chances of damage to the gums and teeth are increased and can even lead to lower lip bleeding, especially in children.
Crowded Teeth: Crowding is a condition that is caused by not having enough room for all of your teeth. It causes pain and misalignment, making it difficult to talk or smile confidently. Bad breath can develop due to particles stuck in tight spaces between tooth structures, making flossing difficult.
Underbite: With an underbite, your lower teeth overlap with your upper teeth. This can make talking problematic and can cause other complicated issues like difficulty chewing and dental injuries.
Tooth Gaps: When your teeth are too far apart, the gaps make it look like you're missing some teeth, and you might also find that it makes smiling and speaking awkward. The gaps between teeth can also make teeth appear larger or smaller, and food often gets trapped, resulting in dental problems and gum disease.
Crooked Teeth: Overcrowding teeth are harder to clean during tooth brushing. This can cause plaque buildup, tooth decay, and gum disease. Crooked teeth can also put pressure on the teeth as they are not in their natural position, resulting in cracked teeth, jaw strain, chronic headaches, and speech difficulties.

FAQ'S

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of dental braces?

Enhance your appearance and confidence.
The braces will help make your teeth straight and even. It would make you more confident in social interactions, and it’ll also improve the appearance of your face.
Easier to brush and floss your teeth.
Braces can straighten your teeth, making brushing and flossing easier every day. You will have a beautiful smile and better oral hygiene.
Prevents gum disease and tooth decay.
Dental problems resulting from poor oral hygiene include tooth decay and gum disease. You can practice better brushing and flossing by straightening your teeth to prevent these issues before they get worse.
Prevent dental injuries.
Dental injuries are more likely if your teeth stick out. Braces can pull them back into the ideal position and prevent any future problems with injury or pain.

Crooked teeth can affect speech and cause lisps, making people very self-conscious. However, this tends to disappear after getting braces.
Improve your oral functions.
Braces can address teeth and jaw alignment, which can help improve your bite and chewing function.

How do dental braces work?

Braces work by exerting constant pressure on misaligned teeth and jaws, gradually moving them into the desired position. This is done via the metal brackets, which are bonded to the teeth, and the archwire, which runs through the brackets and applies pressure to the teeth. Patients need to come in for adjustments as recommended by their dentist so the treatment can progress as planned. Over time, the teeth gradually move into place, and the smile is transformed.

How long do dental brace treatments last?

The average treatment time for traditional braces is 18 to 24 months. However, in some cases, it can take up to three years for the treatment to be completed. Your treatment period will depend on the severity of your case and how often you visit your dentist for adjustments. Generally, patient compliance is one of the crucial factors that influence the overall treatment period.

During the initial consultation, your dentist can provide an estimate of how long your treatment might take. They will also explain the factors that can affect the duration to keep you informed.

Can I play sports with dental braces?

You can play sports while wearing braces, but it’s important to be aware that there is an increased risk of mouth injury. This is because you are more likely to get hit in the face with a ball or collide with other players. However, there are ways to minimise the risk of mouth injury. For example, you can wear a mouthguard during practices and games to cushion the teeth during accidental blows or hits.

How often should I visit my dentist if I have dental braces?

Orthodontic patients will need to visit a dental professional for regular checkups and adjustments. It is recommended that patients with dental braces visit the dentist every six to eight weeks to achieve straight teeth. This will help maintain the effectiveness of the dental treatment and keep the patient’s teeth healthy.

How should I take care of my teeth with dental braces?

Taking care of your teeth with dental braces is essential to maintain oral health and achieve a successful treatment. Here are some key tips:

Brushing
- Use a soft-bristle toothbrush or an electric toothbrush with a small head to reach all areas.
- Brush after every meal to remove food particles that can get stuck in the braces.
- Brush at a 45-degree angle to clean around the brackets and wires effectively.
- Don’t forget your gums and tongue to reduce plaque and bacteria buildup.
Flossing
- Use a floss threader or orthodontic floss to get between the teeth and under the metal wires.
- Floss daily to remove plaque and food particles that brushing might miss.
Mouthwash
- Use an antibacterial mouthwash to help control plaque and prevent gum disease.
- Fluoride mouthwash can help strengthen teeth and prevent decay.
Avoid Certain Foods
- Avoid hard, sticky, or chewy foods like nuts, popcorn, caramel, and chewing gum that can damage the braces.
- Cut food into smaller pieces to make chewing easier and reduce the risk of damaging the braces.
Regular Dental Checkups
- Visit your dentist regularly for adjustments and checkups.
- See your dentist for routine cleanings and checkups to prevent cavities and other issues.
Use Orthodontic Wax
- Apply orthodontic wax to any part of the braces that irritates your mouth or gums to prevent sores.
Stay Hydrated
- Drink plenty of water to help wash away food particles and bacteria.

Taking these steps can help you maintain good oral hygiene and prevent complications during your orthodontic treatment.

How much do dental braces cost?

At Maylands Dental Centre, our traditional fixed braces are priced between $7,000 and $9,000. However, the cost of metal braces is not a one-size-fits-all figure. Several factors can influence the final price:

Individual needs:
Every smile is unique. The complexity of your dental alignment impacts the duration and intricacies of the dental braces treatment.
Treatment duration:
The duration for wearing braces can differ, which impacts the total cost of orthodontic treatment.
Type of braces:
Advances in dental materials have made different orthodontic treatment options available, each with its own pricing.
Additional treatments:
Additional dental work is sometimes necessary before or after braces, which can affect the total cost.

Dental braces are an investment in your oral health, not just your smile. Our amazing team offers personalised orthodontic care in a friendly environment, supporting you through your dental journey.
