When you look your best, you exude self-assurance and grace to the people you meet. Crooked or crowded teeth detract from your polished appearance and keep you from projecting warmth to others. These crowding problems can also make home care and maintenance difficult, so you may be more susceptible to gum disease, tooth decay, and even tooth loss. Without treatment, orthodontic problems may result in excessive stress on supporting tissues, inefficient chewing, abnormal wear on tooth surfaces not to mention the fact that your smile is not what you’d like it to be.
Because Dr. Carr and Dr. Christophers want our patients to enjoy a great smile as well as optimal oral health and function, we offer a variety of orthodontic services. Many issues can be addressed using modern orthodontic techniques such as Invisalign and lingual orthodontics. Envisage Dental Studio is pleased that leading Brisbane orthodontist Dr Stephen Papas (Dr Carr’s husband!) consults regularly in our practice so that our patients can benefit from specialist orthodontic treatment in New Farm.
Traditionally, orthodontics has involved metal brackets and wires. Braces apply a gentle, constant force to slowly move teeth into the desired position. As dentistry has advanced, braces have also changed, so you have other choices to accomplish your goals. Ceramic brackets, Incognito lingual braces, and Invisalign clear are options that straighten teeth for improved appearance and function.
Before treatment begins, we will complete a full evaluation. Once your Brisbane orthodontist has determined how to correct your bite, we will explain the details and answer all of your questions to so that you can make an educated decision about what’s right for your smile.
