Patients with braces must follow a strict oral hygiene routine. Gently brush each bracket and floss between them to remove food particles and prevent plaque buildup. Neglecting proper hygiene can lead to an increased risk of cavities and permanent white spots on your teeth.
We will be closed from 20th December and will re-open on 6th January, 2025. In an emergency, please email us at reception@marvelorthodontics.com.au and we'll get back to you as soon as possible. We wish you and your families a safe and very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Dental Braces in Sydney, Hurstville and Gordon
Braces are often the first thing people think of when it comes to orthodontic treatment - and for good reason. At Marvel Orthodontics, we offer braces in Sydney as one of the most effective and reliable methods for straightening teeth. Modern braces are now more discreet, comfortable, and customised than ever, making them a great choice for patients of all ages.
How do braces work?
Braces are a highly effective orthodontic solution designed to gradually move your teeth into their ideal positions. Using a combination of brackets and wires, braces apply gentle, consistent pressure to shift your teeth over time. This process not only improves alignment but also enhances your overall oral health.
At Marvel Orthodontics, we specialise in providing braces in Sydney, Hurstville and Gordon, tailoring each treatment plan to suit your unique needs. Whether you’re addressing crowding, spacing, or bite issues, braces remain one of the most reliable ways to achieve a beautifully aligned smile.
Problems braces can treat
Braces are a great option for patients of all ages. This is because braces is very effective at addressing:
- Crooked or overcrowded teeth
- Irregular spacing in between teeth
- Irregular bites (overbite, underbite, crossbite)
- Protruding upper teeth
- Asymmetry
Types of braces offered at Marvel Orthodontics, Sydney
At Marvel Orthodontics, we offer our patients the option of either traditional metal or clear braces.
Metal braces
Metal braces tend to be what most people think of when they think of orthodontic treatment. These braces consist of small metal brackets attached to your individual teeth with an archwire connecting them.
Metal braces are an effective treatment for major and minor orthodontic cases. At your initial consultation with us we can talk you through your treatment options, and if metal braces are one of them, we will explain further how this method works.
Clear braces
Clear braces are a discreet orthodontic treatment option which work the same way as traditional metal braces do. The difference is that clear braces use tooth-coloured brackets that blend in beautifully with the colour of your smile.
Clear braces are a popular choice among our adult patients across Sydney because it is not immediately obvious that you are wearing braces. This is particularly beneficial for many patients in client-facing jobs.
What to expect during treatment with braces
Before starting your braces journey, we’ll conduct a thorough assessment of your smile to design a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. Once your braces are fitted, you’ll visit one of our Sydney practices - either in Hurstville or Gordon - every four to eight weeks for adjustments and to monitor your progress. This ensures your treatment stays on track, helping you achieve a beautifully aligned smile.
How to look after your braces
On the day your braces are fitted, we will provide detailed guidance on what foods to avoid. Generally, it’s best to steer clear of sticky and hard foods, such as bubblegum and popcorn, as these can damage or dislodge your brackets.
