Orthodontics Services in Bowral

Orthodontics is a dental treatment that focuses on correcting misaligned teeth and bite problems. It commonly involves orthodontic braces or other appliances designed to gradually move teeth into better alignment.

Treatment duration depends on the complexity of the alignment issue. Many orthodontic treatments typically take between 12 and 24 months, although some cases may require shorter or longer periods.

Clear aligner therapy (e.g. Invisalign) has revolutionised orthodontic treatment. Tooth positions are corrected using clear plastic aligners, which are more aesthetic than traditional metal braces. You can also remove them while eating. They are easier to clean than traditional braces. In most cases, they are a more efficient and comfortable way to achieve straighter teeth.
