Straighten Your Teeth

Achieve straighter teeth with clear braces/aligners

Misaligned teeth are a common complaint throughout New Zealand. However, that doesn’t mean you have to live with them.

At Opal Dental, we can help you achieve the perfect smile with our clear braces. As a discreet solution for various types of bites and poor alignments, they’re popular among both our adult and our younger patients.

Clear braces tailored to meet your needs

Your clear braces are made in a lab using an impression your dentist takes of your teeth. They’re similar to Invisalign and are difficult to detect unless someone knows they’re there. You may need to wear a series of clear aligners of different sizes and shapes, in order to get your teeth aligned perfectly over time.

After fitting your braces, we’ll monitor your progress to see whether we need to make any adjustments. Treatment times may vary depending on how severe the misalignment is, as well as according to your natural alignment and any changes you experience as we make adjustments.

Through every stage of your treatment, we’ll ensure you feel comfortable. If you experience discomfort at any point, all you need to do is contact us and we’ll make our adjustments accordingly.

Straight teeth come with real benefits

Although you may assume that straighter teeth are a cosmetic pursuit, they actually come with lots of benefits. Over time, you’re less likely to encounter dental pain and dental infections. This is because your teeth won’t crowd one-another and they should become easier to clean.

Aligning your teeth using invisible braces also makes it easier to chew and talk. Although you may not notice difficulties right now, many of our patients report significant changes once their treatment is complete.

Ensuring you’re a suitable candidate

Before we create your invisible braces, we need to make sure you’re the right candidate. Some patients benefit from other types of braces, but we assess everyone on a case by case basis. Additionally, we may find that you have ongoing dental problems that take priority. For example, if you have a gum infection or you need a filling, it’s important to address such issues before adding alignment treatment to the mix.
