Conventional Braces in Melbourne

Affordable Braces for Teeth

Used to align and straighten teeth and improve dental health by correcting underbites and overbites, braces are a common form of dental treatment that can be used on both adults and children alike. Dentistree offers affordable braces for teeth, making it possible to correct cosmetic flaws such as crooked teeth and structural problems like overbites in order to improve your overall dental heath.

How Braces Work

By exerting constant pressure, braces slowly move teeth into their proper positions over time, correcting crooked teeth and a number of conditions including malocclusions, underbites, overbites, deep bites, open bites and cross bites. There are a number of different types of affordable braces for teeth available, from traditional metal wired braces through to less noticeable clear models.

There are four main components to braces:

• Metal or ceramic brackets (these are attached to each tooth)
• A bonding material or metal band (used to attach the bracket to the tooth)
• An arch wire (a thin metal wire that extends from bracket to bracket, putting pressure on the teeth)
• Ligature elastic (a small, coloured elastic used to hold the bracket onto the arch wire – these are not required on self-ligating braces)
