Modern Treatment Types

So which is the best orthodontic treatment system?

The only way we can recommend the best treatment is to invite any potential new patients into the practice for a thorough orthodontic assessment. We allow up to an hour for each consultation. It’s a risk free assessment and without obligation.

Only when we have chatted to the patient (and parents in the case of younger children), examined any x-rays or digital images and sometimes consulted with their regular dentist can we discuss our comprehensive treatment proposal. It covers the system recommended, length of treatment time and payment options.

Clear Aligners

Clear aligners are a solution for patients seeking a more discreet orthodontic treatment than conventional braces, as they do not use brackets or wires.

Clear aligners are a modern and near-invisible method for correcting mild to moderate orthodontic problems. They align teeth just as braces do, but using a transparent, removable aligner.

Invisalign® & Invisalign® Teen

Saacks Orthodontics use the progressive teeth straightening option Invisalign®. Invisalign® was designed to discreetly but effectively straighten a patient’s teeth.

By using custom made, removable aligners, we can straighten your teeth gradually, and very specifically. These aligners are so discreet no one will know you’re undergoing orthodontic treatment – unless you tell them, that is.

Invisalign® also has an option for our teenage patients called Invisalign® Teen. We have ensured this treatment is comfortable, still discreet and keeps their oral health and hygiene is pristine condition.

Today, Invisalign® has reshaped over 4 million smiles worldwide, so it’s no wonder its one of the most popular orthodontic treatments.

Cosmetic Braces - Ceramic or Metal

Throughout Australia, traditional metal braces are still the most popular form of orthodontics used. Their popularity comes from their proven track record of dramatically straightening teeth, in a short amount of time. With recent advancements in orthodontic technology, today traditional braces are much sleeker, slimmer and more comfortable and less visible.

The greatest benefit of traditional braces is they can fix any orthodontic problem, whether major or minor. These can include complex orthodontic issues like crooked and crowded teeth, a misaligned bite, and jaw problems.

At Saacks Orthodontics we use two types of traditional braces:
standard metal braces  and ceramic braces

Traditional braces treatment can take anywhere from 6 to 24 months. This will depend on your orthodontic needs.

Metal braces - the more cost effective option.

The brackets are strategically bonded to your teeth to maximise tooth movement. Wires are then attached to these brackets to start the teeth straightening process. Over the course of treatment, which can be from 6 to 24 months depending on your orthodontic needs, the wires will be tightened to gradually move your teeth into position.

Ceramic invisible braces - the discreet orthodontic option.

Saacks Orthodontics use the progressive teeth straightening option Invisalign®. Invisalign® was designed to discreetly but effectively straighten a patient’s teeth.

By using custom made, removable aligners, we can straighten your teeth gradually, and very specifically. These aligners are so discreet no one will know you’re undergoing orthodontic treatment – unless you tell them, that is.

Invisalign® also has an option for our teenage patients called Invisalign® Teen. We have ensured this treatment is comfortable, still discreet and keeps their oral health and hygiene is pristine condition.
