Crooked teeth are a common dental issue among children and adults alike. Not only do they flaw your smile, but crooked teeth can also lead to a number of dental issues such as tooth decay.

At Forster Dental Centre, our goal is to help our patients achieve the smile of their dreams. Perfectly aligned teeth plus a healthy mouth are within your reach with the aid of orthodontics.

Start your journey towards straighter teeth today! Talk to your Forster Dental Centre dentist about orthodontics.

What is Orthodontics?

Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that corrects crooked teeth and other jaw and alignment problems. Orthodontics makes use of personalised orthodontic equipment worn in the mouth for a period of time to shift and correct teeth into the ideal position.

An orthodontic evaluation is recommended for children as young as 7 years old. This evaluation will assess the child’s teeth alignment, jaw growth, and possible bite defects. From the results, your Forster dentist will create an orthodontic plan consisting of the treatments your child needs and the duration the orthodontic equipment will stay in the mouth.

Issues Solved by Orthodontic Treatments

The following are some of the common issues resolved by orthodontic treatments:

  • Crooked teeth
  • Crowded teeth
  • Underbite
  • Crossbite
  • Overbite
  • Bruxism

If you have any of the abovementioned issues, orthodontics can definitely help you correct your dental problem and achieve straighter teeth.

Orthodontic Options at Forster Dental Centre

Below are our orthodontic options in the office:

Invisalign

The Invisalign Forster teeth straightening system can help correct gaps in your teeth and straighten crooked teeth without the discomfort and appearance of metal braces. It uses clear, removable aligners that your dentist will custom mould to correctly fit your teeth. The major benefit of using clear braces or aligners is that they are virtually invisible, so for those who are self-conscious about wearing traditional metal braces, clear braces are the perfect option.

Metal braces

These are also traditional braces. Metal wires are used to move the teeth in place. They are not removable but are now less visible thanks to modern dentistry.
