What solutions do Northern Beaches Dental in Mackay offer for straightening teeth?
Are your crooked, protruding or crowded teeth making your mouth uncomfortable and unable to function properly? Perhaps you hide your smile due to a lack of confidence because of the appearance of your teeth?

Worry no more! Here, at Northern Beaches Dental in Mackay, we strive to support you in having a smile to be proud of. We understand that teeth don’t always grow straight by themselves, and many people need some dentistry intervention in order to achieve their best smile. Rest assured, our dentist in Mackay can offer you a range of options that are suitable for your individual needs!
What are the solutions available?
There are many benefits to having orthodontic treatment with us here at Northern Beaches Dental. Our dentist in Mackay can use modern aligners to straighten crooked teeth or correct dental crowding. If your front and back teeth are not aligned correctly, we can correct this so that you have an even bite.
Having straight teeth means that there is less chance of damage to prominent teeth and of strains on jaw muscles and, of course, your appearance and confidence can also be dramatically improved by having aligned teeth! In addition, straight teeth are also easier to keep clean, reducing the likelihood of both tooth decay and gingivitis.
We are a recognised Invisalign provider, which is a very popular treatment, offering a clear and removable aligner system. If you are worried about the aesthetics of wearing a brace then Invisalign could be the perfect solution for you, as they are practically invisible to an onlooker’s eye.
What does this Invisalign involve?
If Invisalign sounds like it could be the solution you have been looking for, then don’t hesitate to get in touch with our dentist in Mackay, and we will be happy to talk you through the process.
If suitable for you, this treatment will need to be booked in advance, and involves having a virtual image taken of your new smile with state-of-the-art digital technology. This means that you will be able to predict what you will look like once your treatment is complete.
We will then fit you with a set of clear plastic aligners that are moulded to the unique shape of your teeth. Every two weeks, we will change these for a new set, as your teeth will have moved and so will require a new aligner.
The great thing about these aligners is that you can remove them for eating, brushing and flossing, so that you are able to keep both the aligners, and your mouth, really clean. It will be important for you to have an initial consultation with us before you start treatment, so that we are able to confirm that you are suited to this particular treatment.
