Optimising Your Dental Health
Braces
At our Central Coast practice, we are able to prescribe and fit braces for patients of virtually all ages. We offer traditional metal braces – in the colour of your preference – as well as ceramic braces.
There are innumerable advantages to having braces fitted. In addition to assisting the healthy growth of teeth, braces:
- Can help alleviate speech impairments
- Can make it easier to brush & clean teeth
- Can help reduce teeth grinding & chipping
- Can reduce the chance of damaging protruding teeth
- Can make it easier to chew food
If you or your child requires braces, don’t hesitate to contact us today. We are happy to answer any questions you may have.
Invisalign
We are able to fit cutting-edge Invisalign
treatments at our Central Coast practice. Unlike regular braces, Invisalign utilises clear plastic and can be removed regularly. It is recommended to wear Invisalign up to 22 hours a day to gain the best results. Also, appointments should be arranged for adjustments every 2 weeks.
Here are just a few of the benefits of the Invisalign system:
- They are extremely easy to clean
- They are seamless
- They are comfortable
- They require fewer office visits than other orthodontics
- They make it easier to eat
