Braces in Bondi Junction

Orthodontic braces are one of the most effective and time-tested ways to move teeth into their ideal alignment. Having an experienced specialist orthodontist, like Dr Ben Piller, will give you confidence and a predictable treatment outcome.

Typically, Dr Piller will evaluate children in early childhood at approximately eight years of age to determine jaw development, airways and facial balance.

What Age Is Appropriate for Braces?

Treatment generally commences from the age of 12-13 years for children. Braces can complement early childhood orthodontic treatment such as expanders and spacers to ensure that teeth have sufficient room to erupt into the dental arches during growth and development.

A correct bite and tooth alignment play an important role in your health, well-being and confidence. When teeth are not aligned, it can be difficult to maintain good oral hygiene. This can result in tooth decay and premature tooth wear.

Other factors include jaw joint issues, such as discomfort, clicking, headaches and head and neck muscular tension. Creating a stable, balanced occlusion (bite) by having the teeth and jaws correctly aligned can assist in the management of these issues.

The impact that a beautiful smile can have on ones’ self-esteem should not be underestimated. Having confidence in your appearance and feeling satisfied when you look in the mirror is also a wonderful motivator.

For some patients, having a smile they are proud of might be something they have put off for a long time; however, your initial consultation at Eastern Suburbs Orthodontics is the first step to achieving your goal.

Every patient presents with their own biological gifts and will be given a treatment duration estimate at their initial consultation appointment. Using the latest in diagnostic and educational tools, including digital imaging, interactive media and other resources, Dr Ben Piller will go over all aspects of your treatment.

As a general guideline, fixed appliance therapy (braces) typically requires 18-24 months of treatment. A complex case requiring extensive tooth movement including extractions, missing or impacted teeth can take up to 24-30 months. 

Clear aligner therapy (Invisalign) can range anywhere from 6-30 months and depends on the complexity of treatment, which will be discussed at your initial consultation.

Orthodontic Treatments in Bondi Junction

While orthodontic treatment does require a commitment of time, many of our patients proclaim that their new smile was well worth the effort. 

A specialist orthodontist holds dual degrees in dentistry and orthodontics and is required to practice as a dentist for a number of years before embarking on further orthodontic specialty training. This additional study focuses on the growth and development of the face, jaws, teeth, occlusion (bite), biomechanics and treatment planning cases.

Specialist Orthodontist in Bondi Junction

Specialist orthodontists dedicate their practice exclusively to orthodontics, treating everything from simple tooth alignment to resolving complex developmental and functional issues that can impact the quality of life.

What Are Self-Ligating Braces?

At Eastern Suburbs Orthodontics, we specialise in the latest technology using self-ligating braces, which are more efficient, minimise food traps, staining and make oral hygiene easier to maintain. 

Rather than the small coloured elastic modules traditionally used to hold the wire in place, self-ligating braces use a sliding mechanism that allows the wire to move freely inside the braces.

We are proud to provide our patients with the most up-to-date braces in the orthodontic space.  

Treatment Planning for Braces in Bondi

Bondi Junction orthodontist, Dr Piller takes great care to customise the ideal treatment plan for each patient, taking into consideration their individual biological gifts. Dr Piller will work with you to develop a treatment plan customised to your needs.

There are two braces options – metal or ceramic (clear). The metal braces are small and have a low profile making them more hygienic and comfortable. The ceramic braces are more aesthetic but can slightly increase the length of treatment time.

The average treatment duration is 18-24 months. However, this can vary depending on the severity of the case and patient cooperation.

Caring for Your Braces

It’s essential to avoid eating anything that might damage your braces or wires during orthodontic treatment. This includes anything too hard or chewy and anything containing too much sugar. Your teeth are more susceptible to decay during treatment with braces. A healthy diet will promote good oral health. Cutting apples, carrots and other foods into smaller pieces rather than biting into them will help prevent dislodging braces.

Our staff will educate and provide you with an oral hygiene routine for you to maintain, in order to keep the teeth and gums healthy while undergoing treatment.

Post-Orthodontic Treatment Retention

Our practice philosophy is to ensure that your hard work, commitment and pleasing result is maintained long-term. The only way that we can ensure a stable orthodontic outcome is with life-long retention. 

Immediately after orthodontic treatment has completed, the teeth are vulnerable to movement. This is because the bone around the teeth has expanded and requires time to condense and stabilise after treatment. This is the reason why fixed and removable retainers will be provided and are so important!
