Orthodontic Procedures
Orthodontic Procedures in
Rockhampton Explained
Orthodontics is a division of dentistry that treats misalignment problems. This refers to where the teeth are not correctly aligned once the mouth is shut, resulting in an improper bite.
While there are specialist orthodontists who are primarily trained in this type of treatment, many general dentists, including the team here at A2Z Dental are not specialists but, are both knowledgeable and highly trained in most aspects of orthodontic treatment. As such, we offer a wide range of orthodontic procedures at our Rockhampton and Emerald dental practices that patients can benefit from. Read on to find out more below.

Orthodontic treatment types – How we can help

Our experienced Rockhampton and Emerald dentists carry out a wide range of orthodontic treatments at our dental surgery, designed to help patients. These include:
  • Closing wide gaps between teeth (known as diastemas)
  • Straightening crooked teeth
  • Aligning the tips of teeth
  • Improving chewing ability or speech
  • Boosting the health of teeth and gums
  • Preventing the long-term excessive wear and tear of teeth (usually due to teeth grinding)
  • Treating an improper bite
In essence, our orthodontic treatments here in Emerald and Rockhampton can improve both the aesthetics and functionality of a crooked smile. To achieve these goals, our dentist will use a wide range of oral appliances or devices.

Orthodontic devices in Rockhampton/Emerald

Braces – Dental braces are the most common and trusted type of fixed orthodontic appliances. Consisting of brackets, wires, and rubber bands they act as tensioners to gradually move teeth when worn in the mouth.
Aligners – Unlike most dental braces, clear aligners offer a discreet way to straighten teeth. Worn over the teeth just like a mouthguard and made from clear plastic, aligners provide a discreet and flexible way to move teeth.home during sleep.
Retainers – As the name suggests, orthodontic retainers are worn for a period of time after braces or aligner treatment, to help retain teeth in their new position.
Palatal expanders – Ideal for those with teeth overcrowding issues, orthodontic dental expanders are used (primarily in children) to expand or enlarge the arch of the jaw. This ensures there is sufficient space for teeth to grow properly.
Custom mouthguards – Mouthguards are designed to protect the teeth either when playing sport or from the act of teeth grinding.
As you can see, we have several orthodontic procedures at our Rockhampton and Emerald dental clinics to help patients with a wide range of orthodontic problems. If you aren’t entirely happy with your smile. Book an appointment with A2Z Dental today and let us show you just how we can help.
