Braces
Braces are a common method for straightening teeth, using brackets and wires to align crooked teeth.
While typically applied during the teenage years, they can also be effective for adults.
Hobart Orthodontics offers three types of braces to meet individual patient needs.
Metal Braces involve attaching metal brackets to the teeth, connected by a thin metal wire.
Regular adjustments help reposition the teeth, gradually creating a straight smile.
These braces are often chosen by younger patients, especially with the option for colourful variations.
Ceramic Braces offer a more discreet treatment option with tooth-coloured brackets and thin metal connectors.
These braces apply gentle pressure through regular adjustments to straighten the teeth, and their subtle appearance makes them particularly popular among adult patients.
We use both direct and Indirect Bonding techniques for applying orthodontic braces.
Both methods are performed or coordinated by our orthodontists to ensure accurate treatment outcomes.
