Fixed Braces and Clear Aligners Hervey Bay
Fixed Braces are made up of metal or ceramic ‘bracket’s that are attached onto each tooth. These ‘brackets’ are then linked together using a special type of wire that is shaped with a memory. The treatment comprises of a series of adjustments to this wire to straighten the teeth slowly to form the desired outcome.
Fixed braces rely on minimal patient compliance. Treatment is generally predictable and fast. Fixed braces are a suitable option for patients who require complex tooth movement.
Invisible aligners are removable and clear trays that allow you to easily clean your teeth after eating and thus, preventing tooth decay. Aligned teeth will boost your smile confidence, help you maintain good oral hygiene and prevent periodontal disease.
