Braces in Balmain
Straighten teeth and correct bite issues with a fixed treatment designed for precise, controlled movement. At Balmain Dentist, Dr Flora Galoustian adjusts your braces at each visit to guide treatment step by step.
Suitable for teenagers and adults, we provide personalised braces treatment to create healthy, confident smiles that last.
Straighten Your Teeth with Braces
Braces remain one of the most effective ways to move teeth in a controlled and predictable way.
Controlled tooth movement
Braces allow small, precise adjustments at each visit, helping guide teeth into position over time.
Suitable for more complex cases
Where alignment or bite issues are more involved, braces often provide a more structured approach.
Consistent progress
Because braces are fixed, they work continuously and do not rely on daily wear compliance.
To see if braces could be suitable for you, book a consultation online or submit an enquiry, and a member of our team will be in touch.
Types of Braces We Offer
Metal Braces
Metal braces are the mostcommonly
used type.
- Strong and durable
- Suitable for a wide range of cases
- Effective for more complex alignment issues
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces use tooth-coloured or clear brackets, making them less noticeable.
- More discreet appearance
- Suitable for teens and adults
- Function similarly to metal braces
What Orthodontic Braces Can Treat
Braces treatment is commonly used to correct:
- Crowded or overlapping teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Crooked or rotated teeth
- Bite concerns such as overbite, underbite, or crossbite
Improving alignment can also make teeth easier to clean and maintain.
Braces vs Invisalign
Both braces and clear aligners can be effective, depending on the case.
- Braces are fixed and allow for more controlled adjustments, particularly in complex cases
- Invisalign uses removable aligners and may be suitable for milder alignment concerns
During your consultation, we will recommend the best option for you, depending on your clinical needs and preferences.
Our Braces Process
Wondering what to expect from traditional metal braces in Balmain? At Balmain Dentist, we guide you through every step with care and clarity.
STEP 1
Consultation & Treatment Planning
Your braces journey starts with a comprehensive consultation with Dr Flora Galoustian. We assess your bite, discuss your goals, and determine if metal braces are the right fit for you.
STEP 2
Fitting of Braces
Brackets are gently bonded to each tooth, and a wire is threaded through to begin alignment. You’ll receive care instructions and return for monthly adjustments to monitor progress.
STEP 3
On-going Adjustments
After your first visit, we will need to see you every four to six weeks, where your Dr Flora Galoustian will make all of the needed adjustments to your fixed braces.
STEP 4
Removal of Braces
Once your treatment is complete, your braces are carefully removed, revealing your beautifully aligned smile.
STEP 5
Retention
We provide regular ongoing check-ups to ensure the integrity of your retainers to ensure that your achieved outcomes and your new smile is stable. This is included as part of every treatment plan, at no extra cost.
