Traditional Braces in Dee Why

The traditional metal braces most people think of when considering orthodontics are still popular today for a reason. They’re highly efficient, predictable and provide reliable treatment outcomes. With traditional braces, we can address a range of moderate and severe dental issues, such as overbite, underbite, crossbite, crowding and spaces between teeth.

What Are Some Benefits?

While there are many orthodontic options available today, traditional braces are a tried and true way to straighten your smile. Traditional braces are fixed and can move teeth efficiently by using light and consistent forces.

Because these braces are fixed, they provide consistent force delivery 24 hours a day which is needed for efficiently moving teeth. Orthodontists have been using traditional braces for a long time, as they offer a highly predictable way of moving teeth.

What to Expect

Getting fitted with a new set of braces at Wavescape Orthodontics is painless and takes about 30-40 minutes. Here’s what to expect:

• The teeth will be cleaned and prepared.
• The braces will be affixed to the teeth using a special adhesive that we paint on the teeth.
• A special blue light is used to set the adhesive.
• After the brackets have been glued, we will place the rubber bands and wire on.

Every 6-8 weeks, you or your child will visit us so that progress can get checked, the rubber bands can be replaced and the wire tightened if needed.

Retaining a Straight Smile

Once the braces are removed, we provide our patients with both fixed and removable retainers. Our treatment fee includes two years of aftercare once treatment is done.
