Frequently Asked Questions About Orthodontics

How can I know which orthodontic treatment is right for me?

An individualised assessment of oral health and aesthetic goals is required to determine the ideal orthodontic treatment for any patient. At SmileWorks Dental Ballarat, dentists understand that every patient is unique and strives to customise treatments to meet individual needs and preferences.

After understanding the patient’s situation, dentists will explain possible orthodontic treatments, ranging from traditional metal or ceramic braces to coloured, self-ligating braces or Invisalign. They will guide the patient through each treatment’s pros and cons, helping them make an informed decision.

Additionally, complicated cases may require orthodontic treatment with jaw surgery. The dentist aims to provide a solution to enhance the patient’s smile and fit into their lifestyle.

Can adults undergo orthodontic treatment at SmileWorks Dental Ballarat?

At SmileWorks Dental Ballarat, adults can receive treatment for various dental issues, including misalignment and bite problems, to improve their smile and confidence. The dentists actively equip themselves to provide treatment options tailored to the needs of adult patients. These solutions include traditional braces, ceramic braces, and Invisalign, providing discreet options for correcting orthodontic issues.

SmileWorks Dental Ballarat considers the aesthetic impact of the treatment and its duration and strives to provide the best possible outcome for each patient.

Our commitment to our adult patients is to provide a healthy, beautiful smile that will last a lifetime.

How often would I need to visit SmileWorks Dental Ballarat during my orthodontic treatment?

The frequency of visits to SmileWorks Dental for orthodontic treatment will vary depending on the type of treatment and the patient’s progress.

Generally, patients with braces must visit the clinic every four to six weeks for adjustments. During these visits, the friendly dentists will check the progress of treatment, make any necessary adjustments to the braces, and provide extensive patient education. Meanwhile, treatment for children may require more frequent visits to monitor progress.

Invisalign treatment may require less frequent but regular visits to monitor progress and receive the next set of aligners.

SmileWorks Dental Ballarat provides a detailed treatment plan, including a visit schedule, so patients know what to expect.

How do I care for my teeth when undergoing orthodontic treatment?

Good oral hygiene is essential during orthodontic treatment, requiring regular brushing, flossing, and avoiding certain foods.

Patients undergoing orthodontic treatment at SmileWorks Dental Ballarat should:

Brush their teeth after every meal with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste: Pay special attention to each tooth and the gum line.
Flossing: Patients should floss daily to remove food particles and plaque that can become trapped in braces.
Remove the aligners before eating and drinking: Those wearing Invisalign should remove them before eating and drinking anything other than water and ensure their teeth are clean before reinserting them.
Regular check-ups and cleanings: At SmileWorks Dental Ballarat, these are also essential for maintaining good oral health and the effectiveness of tooth straightening.

Can orthodontic treatment help with conditions like sleep apnoea or TMJ disorders?

Orthodontic treatment has the potential to be an effective solution for providing relief from conditions such as sleep apnoea and TMJ disorders in some patients.

At SmileWorks Dental Ballarat, experienced dentists can assess individual patient needs and determine if orthodontics treatment is the right solution. By repositioning the teeth and jaw, orthodontic treatment can improve airflow during sleep, potentially reducing the symptoms of sleep apnoea, reducing strain on the jaw joint and alleviating TMJ disorder symptoms.

SmileWorks Dental Ballarat will guide you through the process with expertise and care, ensuring you get the best possible results from your orthodontic treatment.

How soon can I expect to see results from my orthodontic treatment?

Patients may notice changes in their tooth alignment within a few months of beginning orthodontic treatment. However, it is important to remember that achieving full results from orthodontic treatments takes longer. The timeframe for seeing results will vary depending on the treatment type and the dental issues’ severity.

For example, braces typically take 18 to 24 months to achieve the desired result, while Invisalign treatments may take 12 to 18 months.

Factors such as the patient’s facial profile, the amount of tooth movement needed, and any treatments for people with TMJ disorders or sleep apnea may also affect the treatment timeline.
