Fixed Orthodontic Treatment

We are proud to welcome you to Novo Dental Practice, where our skilled team provides exceptional orthodontic care for children and adults.

Fixed orthodontic appliances, including ceramic brackets, offer a reliable solution for correcting dental misalignments and achieving a confident smile.

About fixed orthodontic treatment

Fixed orthodontic appliances consist of brackets bonded to the teeth and connected by archwires, applying gentle pressure to gradually move teeth into their desired positions. Ceramic brackets blend seamlessly with tooth colour and provide a discreet option for patients undergoing orthodontic treatment.

Our orthodontic approach

Our orthodontist understands the importance of gentle and compassionate care for young and adult patients. Their skills and personalised approach ensure a positive orthodontic experience for all our patients.

Treatment process

Initial Consultation
During the initial visit, the orthodontist will assess your dental health and discuss treatment options. If fixed orthodontic treatment with ceramic brackets is recommended, a customised treatment plan will be developed.

Braces Placement
Ceramic or metal brackets will be carefully bonded to your child’s teeth, creating a foundation for the orthodontic treatment. The orthodontist ensures precise placement to optimise effectiveness and aesthetics.

Adjustment Visits
Regular adjustment appointments will be scheduled to monitor your progress and modify the braces as necessary. These adjustments ensure that the teeth are moving correctly and efficiently toward their desired positions.

Orthodontic Care
Throughout treatment, our hygienist will guide you about maintaining oral hygiene and caring for the braces. Proper oral hygiene practices are essential for preventing issues such as decay or gum inflammation during treatment.

Treatment Completion
Once the desired alignment is achieved, the braces will be removed, revealing a beautifully aligned smile. The orthodontist will provide instructions on post-treatment care, which includes wearing retainers to maintain the results achieved.

FAQs

Are ceramic brackets as effective as traditional metal braces?

Yes, ceramic brackets are equally effective in correcting dental misalignments in children. The orthodontist will determine the most appropriate orthodontic treatment based on individual needs and preferences.

Will wearing ceramic brackets affect my daily activities or oral hygiene routine?

While there may be an adjustment period, wearing ceramic brackets should not significantly impact your daily activities or oral hygiene routine. Our orthodontist will guide you on maintaining oral hygiene and making necessary adjustments during the treatment.

How long does treatment with fixed orthodontic appliances typically take for children?

The duration of treatment varies depending on the severity of your orthodontic issues. Our orthodontist will provide you with an estimate of the treatment timeline during the initial consultation.

Are ceramic brackets more fragile than traditional metal brackets?

While ceramic brackets may be slightly more delicate, they are designed to withstand normal chewing forces. The orthodontist ensures proper bonding and placement to minimise the risk of bracket breakage.
