Braces and Teeth Alignment at Devonport Dental Care

Devonport Dental Care offers teeth-alignment treatment options for children and adults, including traditional metal braces, clear braces, and clear aligners. Treatment suitability and duration depend on each patient’s individual dental needs. Following an assessment, our dentist will discuss the available options suitable for your needs.

Types of Braces Available

We offer a range of options to help straighten your teeth. The two most common options for straightening teeth are braces (Traditional/Clear/Invisible) and Sure Smile (Clear Aligners).

Stainless Steel – Traditional Braces

Stainless steel braces have been used for many decades and remain a common option for straightening teeth. They consist of small metal brackets attached to the front of the teeth, connected by a wire that applies gentle pressure to guide tooth movement over time.

Traditional metal braces can be a cost-effective option for teeth-alignment treatment. Their suitability depends on each patient’s dental condition and individual treatment needs. Our dentist can discuss the available options and help determine whether metal braces are appropriate for you.

Clear Braces

Special clear Ceramic brackets are a discreet solution to straighten your smile. Radiance braces are translucent ceramic braces that offer an appealing alternative to stainless steel. These are affixed to the front of your teeth and consist of subtle, transparent sapphire crystals with metal wires running through them.

Treatment Duration

The duration of your treatment will depend on how much tooth movement is needed to straighten your teeth. On average, most cases are finished within 24 months. Age also plays a role in determining the duration of therapy since teeth shift faster in younger people.

Treatment Costs

The cost of braces is determined by how long the treatment will take, and this is influenced by how much tooth movement is necessary to straighten your teeth. Traditional braces are the most cost-efficient option, and there may be additional expenses if you desire to have the brackets of the braces coloured or if you wish to have the braces disguised (Incognito).
