Braces, Auckland NZ – trusted teeth straightening solutions
Fixed braces may be the original style of orthodontic treatment, but modern advancements have transformed their design, making them an excellent choice for many patients. Today’s teeth braces in Auckland are crafted for comfort, precision, and efficiency, offering a reliable and highly effective solution for straightening teeth. With smaller brackets and discreet designs, modern fixed braces are far less noticeable than ever before.
How do traditional metal braces work?
Traditional metal braces use a combination of brackets and wires to straighten teeth with gentle, consistent pressure. Metal brackets are securely fixed to each tooth, and a wire threaded through them is adjusted over time to guide the teeth into their correct positions. Regular checkups at Auckland City Orthodontics ensure the braces are working effectively and allow our specialist team to make any necessary adjustments for optimal results.
The confidence to flash your smile with tooth-coloured braces
Tooth-coloured braces are colour-matched to your teeth. Whilst they’re not as invisible as clear aligners, they are a lot less noticeable than traditional metal braces. They work in exactly the same way as traditional braces, using metal brackets and a wire to put gentle pressure on your teeth. However, many patients prefer tooth-coloured braces as they feel more confident and less self-conscious wearing braces.
