If you’re looking for a discreet way of straightening your teeth then Southern Smiles can help. We offer a variety of clear braces in Sydney that enable you to achieve a perfectly straight smile with the minimum of fuss and discomfort. Even better, when you’re wearing invisible braces, no-one but your dentist needs to ever know that you’re having orthodontic treatment.
Why bother with teeth straightening and invisible braces?
While the majority of patients that visit us are considering teeth straightening for aesthetic reasons, having a straight smile offers other benefits including:
• Teeth that are easier to brush and floss
• Less chance of tooth decay
• Improved oral health
Southern Smiles is committed to providing the best possible dental care and offers tooth alignment options including invisible braces in Sydney which are tailored to suit the unique dental needs, lifestyle, and budget of our patients. As such we’re proud to be able to offer our patients a choice of modern aligner style invisible braces to help them achieve the straight smile they’ve always wanted. These include Truline, Clear Correct and Invisalign in Sydney.
Clear aligners, otherwise referred to as clear braces or invisible braces are particularly suited to adults looking to straighten their teeth without sporting a mouth full of metal. They’re a great alternative to metal braces with the main benefit being that they’re transparent. Additionally invisible braces are designed to be removed for eating, drinking, and cleaning your teeth, giving you better control over your oral health.

So, what exactly are aligners?
Aligners are far removed from the traditional braces that you’re probably familiar with. They’re worn over the teeth a bit like a mouthguard and bear similarities to a tooth whitening tray. Because they’re made from clear plastic, invisible braces are almost impossible to detect.
How do invisible braces work?
As you probably know, getting your teeth straightened with a traditional brace involves wearing just one device throughout the treatment whereas invisible braces straighten teeth using a series of aligners or trays. The number of aligners that you’ll wear during your treatment depends on whether you have a mild dental condition or one that is more complex.
While there are differences between the various types of invisible braces, they all have one thing in common and that is to move your teeth gradually into their desired position. The aligners are custom made from detailed impressions of your teeth with each aligner programmed to move individual teeth in a set sequence at a set time.
You’ll notice that your invisible braces will feel tight as if they don’t fit properly when you first put them on. However, as your teeth gradually start to straighten the fit will improve until the aligners begin to feel a little loose. Don’t worry, we like loose – this is a good sign that your invisible braces are starting to work their magic.
Your treatment will continue with the aligners being changed at regular intervals throughout. You can expect your mouth to feel a little sore when you bite into food in the first few days following an invisible braces changeover, but any pain can usually be controlled by taking over the counter painkillers.
Invisible braces – on-going treatment
During your treatment with invisible braces you’ll need to visit your Southern Smiles dentist at regular intervals to have your progress monitored and, where necessary, to make any slight adjustments for ultimate results. Once your treatment has concluded and you and your dentist are happy with the outcome, you will need to be fitted with retainers to prevent your teeth from moving back to their old positions.
Although aligners are a great alternative to braces for adults they all rely on 100% compliance to achieve the best results. If you’re tempted to remove them for longer periods than allowed, your treatment time will take longer and in some cases your treatment may not work at all. So whether you’re considering Truline dental aligners, Invisalign or ClearCorrect, Sydney patients need to bear this fact in mind.
What conditions can invisible braces/aligners correct?
So now you know more about invisible braces you’re probably wondering what conditions they can treat. In essence invisible braces can correct similar alignment problems to traditional metal braces. These include such conditions as:
• Overcrowding – This occurs when the space in your mouth isn’t sufficiently large to allow your teeth to sit perfectly in their correct positions. This can lead to tooth decay and increase the chances of gum disease.
• Gaps between the teeth – Large gaps can be the result of abnormal jaw growth or because teeth are missing.
• Overbite – This is when the upper teeth stick out from the lower teeth or even cover the whole of the lower teeth. Eventually this can cause pain in the jaw. An underbite occurs when the lower teeth stick out over the upper teeth
• Crossbite – This refers to when one or more teeth in your upper jaw are biting inside the lower jaw leading to uneven wear. If not addressed this could lead to gum disease and
bone erosion.
Many other problems can be treated with invisible braces but naturally everyone is different and every patient’s case is different, which is why individual treatment is necessary for a successful outcome
