ACHIEVE A BEAUTIFUL, STRAIGHT SMILE WITH TRADITIONAL BRACES
Orthodontic Solutions at North Melbourne
What Are Traditional Braces?
Traditional braces use metal brackets and wires to gradually move your teeth into the desired position. The brackets are bonded to your teeth, and wires are threaded through them to apply gentle pressure, guiding the teeth over time. Modern traditional braces are more comfortable and discreet than ever before, with smaller brackets and customisable options for a more personalised treatment.
Who Is Eligible for Traditional Braces?
The Traditional Braces Process
At Luxe Dental Care, we provide expert care and guide you through the entire braces process:
Initial Consultation:
Your orthodontic journey begins with a comprehensive consultation. We’ll examine your teeth, take X-rays, and discuss your treatment options to create a personalised plan that addresses your unique needs.
Placement of Braces:
During your braces appointment, brackets are carefully bonded to your teeth, and wires are placed to begin the realignment process. You’ll be given instructions on how to care for your braces and manage any initial discomfort.
Regular Adjustments:
Every 4 to 6 weeks, you’ll return for adjustments where the wires are tightened or modified to ensure your teeth are moving according to plan. These visits are essential for keeping your treatment on track.
Completion and Retention:
Once your teeth have reached their ideal position, your braces will be removed, and you’ll be given a custom retainer to maintain your new smile. Wearing the retainer as instructed is crucial to prevent any shifting after treatment.
What Orthodontic Issues Can Traditional Braces Treat?
Traditional braces are versatile and can address a wide range of orthodontic problems, including:
Crowding: Teeth overlap due to a lack of space.
Spacing: Gaps between teeth where contact points are missing.
Overbite: Upper teeth overlap significantly over the lower teeth.
Underbite: Lower teeth protrude beyond the upper teeth.
Crossbite: Some upper teeth sit behind the lower teeth when biting.
Openbite: Front teeth do not touch when the mouth is closed.
Rotated or Misaligned Teeth: Teeth are twisted or positioned incorrectly.

Have a question?
Treatment time varies depending on the complexity of your case. Most patients wear braces for 18 to 24 months, but this can be longer for more complex issues.
Some discomfort is normal when braces are first applied or adjusted, but it usually subsides within a few days. We provide tips to help manage any soreness and keep you comfortable.
You’ll need to avoid sticky, hard, or crunchy foods that can damage the brackets or wires. Your dentist will provide a full list of foods to avoid and tips for eating with braces.
You’ll need to visit every 4 to 6 weeks for adjustments and monitoring to ensure your teeth are moving correctly.
Traditional braces are often more suitable for complex cases and provide constant pressure on the teeth, while clear aligners are removable and more discreet but may not be as effective for severe issues.
Yes, wearing a retainer after your braces are removed is essential to maintain the results of your treatment and prevent teeth from shifting back into their original positions.
