Straighten your smile with Braces

Metal Braces

At Dental Boutique, our dentists’ use a state of the art bracket system, which is customised to each individual patient to provide faster results with fewer appointments and less treatment time for patient comfort. Whether you need braces on your bottom teeth, top, or both, Dental Boutique will completely customise your orthodontic and dental plan to help achieve the best results.

Ceramic Braces

Ceramic braces provide a discrete alternative to metal braces and are made of materials that blend with the natural colour of your teeth. For this reason, ceramic braces are used mainly on older teenagers and adult patients who have cosmetic concerns. While they are visually less prominent, they require more attention to oral hygiene as ceramic braces are larger and more brittle than their metal counterparts.

Not every patient is a candidate for ceramic braces and your suitability will be determined at the time of your initial consult.

Lingual Braces

Lingual braces are unnoticeable to the eye as they are attached to the back of your teeth. They most often address the six upper and six lower teeth.

As the name implies, lingual braces are fitted on the back of the teeth (tongue side) and are a discrete option of braces.

Invisalign

Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible so it’s difficult for others to notice the treatment. Most patients may feel pressure in the early stage when starting with the first few Invisalign aligners.

Invisalign aligners are removable. You can remove them before eating/drinking and easily brush and floss to maintain good oral hygiene. Invisalign treatment allows you to visualise each stage of the treatment process, from the beginning to the end, giving you a clearer picture of the treatment duration.

Braces

The wires and brackets of traditional braces are visible.

Most patients may feel pain each time braces are adjusted. The metal brackets may also irritate the mouth and cause ulcers.

Braces are fixed and not removable during the teeth straightening treatment. This makes it difficult to eat certain types of food (e.g. apples, nuts) and it can be difficult to clean and floss your teeth with the braces in.

Traditional braces can only give you an estimate of the duration of treatment at the beginning of the treatment process.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are thin shells of porcelain bonded to the front of your teeth. They can be an excellent alternative to braces for those looking to achieve a straighter, more aligned smile without the lengthy treatment time. It’s important to understand that veneers are a cosmetic solution. They will not physically straighten your teeth, but instead give you the appearance of a healthy, straight smile.

Dental Bonding

Dental bonding can help address multiple dental issues, including discolouration, misalignment, cracked teeth, and gaps. Dental bonding is particularly suited for correcting minor dental imperfections.

Invisalign

Invisalign is an alternate orthodontic treatment that involves clear, sequential aligners to shift teeth into alignment. They act as a great option for those who want to be discrete and have freedom with food choices.
