What is orthodontics?
Looking for the best orthodontic treatment in Preston, Melbourne? As a trusted orthodontics provider for Preston and the surrounding suburbs — including Thornbury, Northcote, Reservoir, Coburg and Bundoora — we make straighter smiles accessible close to home. Orthodontic treatment uses different methods, including internal lingual braces, conventional braces, Invisalign, or clear braces. It helps hold your teeth tightly together and allows gradual shifting in the position of the misaligned teeth. The primary purpose is to correct your teeth’s position and improve the bite, jaw, and facial features.
Orthodontics is a dental field that corrects misaligned teeth and jaws using braces or aligners. It improves function and appearance, addressing cosmetic and functional issues. Treatment involves personalised plans, applying gentle pressure to straighten teeth. It can be done at any age and aims to provide a healthier smile.
Bad bite patterns — overbites, underbites, and crossbites can cause uneven teeth wear, cracked or chipped teeth, and other dental issues.
Overcrowded smiles — occur when teeth do not grow properly or at all due to a lack of space for proper development.
Orthodontics for teenagers & children
Orthodontics is important for teenagers and children. Treatment addresses issues like crooked teeth, misaligned jaws, and bite problems. Orthodontic care aims to guide jaw growth, align teeth, and create a harmonious bite.
Teenagers often receive appliances to correct misalignments. Children may undergo interceptive orthodontics to guide dental development. Orthodontic treatment improves both function and aesthetics. Regular check-ups are crucial for monitoring and timely intervention.
