Orthodontics (Braces)
Clear aligners is a great option for certain patients who want to correct slightly misaligned teeth. Dr Amir Kiaee and Dr Valerie Baluyut are clear aligner dentists in Pascoe Vale who can help you attain a more symmetrical smile. Millions of people across the world have used clear aligns, such as Invisalign, and have been pleased with the results. Perhaps you will, too!
What Are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are an innovative orthodontic system that uses clear, BPA-free plastic aligners to gradually move a patient’s teeth into a more desirable position. Clear aligners are smooth, slick, and custom-made to fit over a patient’s teeth. Also called ‘invisible braces’, clear aligners are considered to be a faster and more discreet alternative to traditional metal braces.
How Does It Work?
If Dr Kiaee determines you are a good candidate for clear aligners, he will take a mold of your teeth and send it to a lab for fabrication. Once the aligners are ready, you will begin wearing them in a series.
Each set in the series is tighter than the last, which is how it moves the teeth. The length of treatment depends on your unique case, and Dr Kiaee will discuss all of these details with you during your consultation.

If you have crooked, twisted, or overlapping teeth, it may mean that specific teeth are doing the majority of the chewing during meals. When this happens, you might notice enamel wear, an increase in cavities, and even fractures over time. We think this is an excellent reason to consider orthodontics, but there are others as well.
Straight teeth may be easier to clean efficiently with your toothbrush and dental floss. Consider that overlapping teeth create crevasses where bacteria can hide—similar to the way dust and debris collect in a hard-to-reach nook around the house.
Straight teeth can also make you feel better about your smile and help you with confidence when laughing and speaking with your best mates.
Orthodontics in Pascoe Vale, VIC can mean Invisalign or traditional braces depending on your preference and the results of your consultation. In some cases, traditional braces may be the better option if your bite alignment issues are severe. You may, unexpectedly, find that you are a good candidate for Invisalign as well. It all starts with a consultation.
