Teeth Straightening with Braces in Campbell Park

For everything from mild crowding to complex bite correction, fixed braces do the heavy lifting. In Campbell Park, the choice of brace type is wider than ever — the right one depends on your case, not just your preference. No removable option quite matches the control a fixed appliance gives the clinician over each tooth. Treatment length varies with the case, but 12–24 months is the usual range.

Fixed Brace Options in Campbell Park

Metal braces use stainless-steel brackets bonded to each tooth and connected by an archwire. They are the most affordable fixed option and handle every level of complexity, and modern brackets are smaller and rounder than older designs.

Ceramic braces are functionally the same as metal with clear or tooth-coloured brackets. Much less conspicuous in photos, slightly pricier, and a little more prone to staining from tea, coffee and coloured foods.

Lingual braces sit on the inner surfaces of the teeth and are completely hidden when you smile or speak. Custom-milled per tooth, they handle a wide range of cases but are the most technically demanding and expensive.

Self-ligating braces (such as Damon or In-Ovation) use a slide or clip instead of elastic ties, reducing friction and sometimes the number of adjustment visits. Both metal and ceramic versions are available in Campbell Park.

Jaw Problems & Treatment in Campbell Park

Some bite problems come from the jaws themselves, not just the teeth. Working out whether a problem is dental or skeletal is the critical first step. A photo assessment can help flag whether specialist referral is worth pursuing.

Skeletal Jaw Discrepancies

Skeletal underbite (Class III) is where the lower jaw has grown larger or more forward than the upper one. Mild versions can sometimes be managed with camouflage orthodontics alone; moderate to severe cases, especially in adults, need orthognathic surgery to reposition one or both jaws.
