Traditional Braces in Newcastle
Types of Braces
Traditional Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces use metal wires attached to brackets cemented onto your teeth to shift them into their proper position. If you have severely misaligned teeth, crowding or large spaces between teeth, this option may be ideal for you.
Care plans range depending on the specific needs of each patient. Typically, a course of care may be anywhere from 6 months to 2 years.
Every few weeks, you’ll visit our practice to replace the wire and have your braces tightened. This will continue until the end of your care plan when your teeth are in proper position.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces are another form of teeth braces in Newcastle that are similar to traditional metal braces, however the brackets are tooth-coloured or clear, helping them to blend into the teeth. This makes them less noticeable.
Ceramic braces are typically slightly more expensive than traditional metal braces.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are becoming increasingly popular-and for good reason! Clear aligners are different from traditional braces as no metal wires are necessary. These aligners steadily shift your teeth over the course of 6-24 months depending on the length of your treatment plan. The best part? No one will be able to tell you’re wearing braces. Clear aligners are completely removable for eating, though you should wear them no less than 22 hours a day for optimal results.
Both teens and adults make great candidates for this type of orthodontic care.
Clear aligners are beneficial in cases where minor correction is required. To find out if you’re a candidate for clear aligners, contact our practice for a consultation.
