Braces (Conventional & Invisalign)
Braces (Conventional & Invisalign)
Why orthodontic treatment might be needed
Crooked, crowded and overlapping teeth can cause a range of problems, including:
- tooth decay and gum disease – teeth that are very close together can be harder to clean properly. A build-up of plaque can lead to tooth decay and gum disease
- injury to the gum – if a tooth doesn’t meet with its partner on the opposite jaw properly, it may dig into the gum and cause damage
- it may be difficult to eat or chew properly, or affect your ability to speak properly, swallow or dries out your mouth.
- teeth that stick out may be more likely to be injured or traumatised during sports or in a fall.
- wear and tear – if teeth don’t come together properly the action of chewing can wear them down unevenly
- self-confidence – teeth problems can make people feel embarrassed and they may not feel comfortable to smile.

Recovery
Expect a tight feeling following the placement and adjustment of the braces. For some patients, this tight feeling may develop into a sore sensation within 4 – 6 hours, which can result from the teeth being adjusted by the arch wire.
To manage symptoms such as pain and soreness, over-the-counter medications may assist in relief. These symptoms typically subside within 3 – 5 days.

Invisalign & Clear Aligners
Treatment period with Invisalign & Clear Aligners
Patients may typically wear invisible braces for around 18 – 24 months, depending on the complexity of the dental issue. In some cases, a longer period may be required for effective results.
Invisible braces generally require more time to address dental issues compared to conventional braces, depending on the patient’s condition and treatment plan. However, they offer an aesthetic advantage by remaining less noticeable, which makes them a popular choice for those who prefer a more discreet treatment.
If you’re considering braces treatment, feel free to contact K Family Dental for a personalised consultation.

They discussed various options with me, considering my preferences and budget. I appreciated their transparency and commitment to finding the best solution for me. 
Pain-Free Procedures: During the treatment, the dentist and their team went above and beyond to ensure my comfort. They used gentle techniques and took measures to minimize any discomfort. I was pleasantly surprised by how painless the entire procedure was.
