When Should You Get Orthodontics?

We recommend to our patients that they consider dental braces or myofunctional therapy for the following conditions:

Overbite – upper front teeth lying too far forward
Underbite – lower teeth lying too far forward
Crossbite – upper and lower teeth fail to meet correctly
Open bite – upper and lower teeth unable to make physical contact
Spacing – spaces or gaps between the teeth
Misplaced midline – centre of upper and lower teeth does not line-up

When & How Do Orthodontic Braces Work?

There are different types of orthodontic braces and myobrace treatment options available to retrain muscles, realign teeth and correct jaws issues. They all work by applying gentle pressure on the jaws and teeth. Based on the severity of the problem, our dentists will determine an approach based on your individual circumstances to get the best results. You can rely on us to develop a customised Invisalign treatment plan or suggest alternatives to braces to improve the structure, function and health of your jaws and teeth.

What Do We Recommend?

At Chapel Gate Dental, we recommend Invisalign braces or myofunctional orthodontic treatment for patients who want to correct crooked and misaligned teeth.

Myobrace: Myobrace orthodontics involves correcting jaw, muscles and teeth by wearing an appliance overnight and for a short time during the day. With a rigid core and stretchy outer area, myobrace for adults is easy and convenient to use.
Truline: This is a less-noticeable, custom-designed plastic tray that is an alternative to traditional metal braces. This device is used to straighten crowded or crooked teeth and to close unsightly gaps between teeth.

Our Invisalign dental braces and myofunctional orthodontics aren’t just designed to enhance your appearance, but also boost your self-image, self-esteem and overall oral health. Call us now on (03) 9531 3742 and let us start planning a dental solution that will last a lifetime.
