Orthodontics Campbelltown: Braces & Invisalign Options

by Dr Anthony Kong (dentist) | May 13, 2025 | Orthodontics

A confident smile goes a long way. Whether walking into a job interview, meeting someone new, or simply taking a photo, your smile often speaks before you do. But if your teeth are crooked or misaligned, you may feel the urge to hide them, despite brushing regularly and keeping up with dental checkups.

That’s where orthodontics Campbelltown comes in.

At A Plus Dental, we offer a variety of orthodontic procedures to help you get the straight, healthy smile you’ve always desired. From traditional braces to discreet options like Invisalign, our Campbelltown dental team will help you find the best path forward for your smile.

Let’s explore the possibilities!

Traditional Braces

Traditional orthodontic treatment uses small ceramic or metal brackets attached to the teeth. The brackets are attached to arch wires that help move the teeth. Rubber bands and springs are also used to help reposition your teeth.

Treatment usually takes one to three years, depending on the patient and the individual case. Once treatment has concluded, a retainer may be necessary for several years.

Conventional Metal Braces

Metal braces (stainless steel) are historically the most popular. Treatment usually takes one to three years to complete. Metal braces are the least expensive option and do not break easily.

They are also well-suited for patients of all ages and almost all conditions. Lastly, patient compliance is inherent because they are affixed to the teeth for treatment.

Many patients choose not to get metal braces simply because they consider the look unattractive. People who play contact sports regularly and musicians who play wind instruments often avoid metal braces because they can stop or limit their hobbies (or jobs).

Metal braces also come with food restrictions, including avoiding hard and chewy foods, as these can damage or break the wires and brackets comprising them. This leads to the last point: metal braces can be uncomfortable when broken or abrasive and hurt after adjustment.

Clear Ceramic Braces

Clear ceramic braces are an aesthetically pleasing alternative for patients who don’t want their braces to be so noticeable. Clear braces move your teeth the same way metal braces do. They are incredibly comfortable to wear and very efficient at moving teeth.

Lingual Braces

Lingual braces are state-of-the-art designs that offer an amazing technological advancement in orthodontic treatment. Orthodontic treatment consists of applying stainless-steel brackets. Initial discomfort is similar to that of traditional braces.

Treatment usually takes one to three years to complete. The amount of time depends on the patient’s cooperation and the difficulty of the case. Once treatment is over, a retainer may be necessary for several years.

Invisalign Invisible Braces

Invisalign braces are a good choice for patients who do not have severe orthodontic issues. The “braces” are strong plastic trays that are fabricated especially for you.

Invisalign is practically invisible, so you can achieve proper teeth alignment without anyone noticing you wearing “braces”!

Invisalign aligners are made of clear, rigid medical-grade plastic. They can be worn up to 22 hours a day and taken in and out of your mouth during meals, sports, playing instruments, or brushing or flossing your teeth.

The treatment takes between 6 and 18 months, depending on the severity of the bite and misalignment issues with your teeth.

Veneers

Porcelain veneers are a versatile cosmetic solution. The thin porcelain shells, which measure only half a millimetre, can transform your smile in just a few visits. If you want to fix the imperfections in your teeth with veneers, we are here to help.

Porcelain veneers can correct a wide array of dental flaws, such as:

Rotated or crooked teeth (orthodontic)
Gaps between teeth (orthodontic)
Misaligned teeth (orthodontic)
Discoloured teeth
Worn teeth
Peg-shaped lateral incisors

Getting dental veneers usually requires only two appointments, and veneers are among the most economically attractive treatments available.

Veneers are an excellent option for your smile. The results are astonishing and quick, and your smile transformation will surely boost your self-esteem.
