All orthodontists at Dentist Sunshine will schedule the appointments based on your teeth condition, stage of the treatment as well as your needs. Usually, patients are asked to revisit the clinic for braces adjustments every 4-8 weeks. But, it completely depends on the condition and treatment of an individual patient. Make sure to visit the clinic at the scheduled appointments. It is so because regular monitoring is needed to evaluate the progress of the treatment.
There are four main types of braces. These are:
Metal Braces – It consists of metal brackets and wires. Ceramic Braces – It consists of tooth-coloured or clear brackets and tooth-coloured wires.
Lingual Braces – They are the same as metal braces, but are placed inside of your teeth. Invisible Braces or Invisalign or Clear Aligners – It consists of clear plastic removable aligners that need to be replaced every 2 weeks.
It is recommended that kids should be taken to the professional orthodontist when they are between 8-10 years of age. By the age of 8 years, all the molars are out and signs of teeth misalignment can easily be determined. Many kids do not require treatment for the first 1-3 years after the initial evaluation.
The metal braces are considered as the most strong and sturdy orthodontic treatment option. So, kids are good to go with metal brackets and wires. These braces can also handle wear and tear. For more fun, you can opt for coloured brackets and wires.
In Australia, the metal braces for upper and lower teeth cost you a ranging from $4,500 to $8,000. This fee estimation covers all services included in the treatment, such as fitting, adjustments, retention visits, and removal of braces.
The investment in orthodontic treatment means getting positivity in you or your kid’s future health. A confident and healthy smile is one of the most memorable assets of anyone. The patient will love and feel happy to be on the track.
