Damon braces are an improvement on the original. Whilst traditional braces align the teeth using brackets and wires held in place with elastic ties, Damon braces are self-ligating. Because Damon braces adjust automatically, you won’t need to attend as many appointments to adjust your braces. Self-ligating brackets open and close to hold the archwire in place and allow for a natural slide along the archwire, giving teeth a freer range of movement than they would have with traditional braces.

If you want to straighten a smile the subtle way, clear aligners may be your ideal smile solution. Invisalign was the first clear aligner brand available made from transparent plastic, virtually invisible and addressing the aesthetic issue often associated with braces. There are now dozens of brands of clear aligners available that can be customised to your unique dental impression. Invisalign will work to push your misaligned teeth into the correct position.

At C4AD we currently use Invisalign and Suresmile clear aligner systems.

Both systems are effective at moving your teeth gradually, as long as you wear the aligners for 22 hours per day, taking them out only when eating and drinking hot drinks. You will need to change your clear aligners every one to two weeks to see movements towards straighter teeth. The bonus of clear aligners is that you can clean your teeth properly and being almost invisible, no one is the wiser that you are straightening your teeth and working towards a beautiful smile!

The pricing for Invisalign can be anywhere between $4,500 to $7,500. The treatment duration varies from patient to patient, depending on the complexity of the case. It could be as little as six months.

The pricing and treatment duration will depend on the length and complexity of your treatment. If you are interested in teeth straightening, we highly recommend booking your initial consultation where your dentist will provide you with treatment options, duration and pricing structure.
