Orthodontics & Invisalign in Toowoomba

Orthodontics is a field of dentistry that is focused on diagnosing, preventing and treating patients with irregular teeth alignment and jaw function.

Ortho, simply means, “to straighten or correct”. Orthodontic treatment promotes an aesthetically pleasing smile; enhances facial profile, assists in oral hygiene of the teeth and supporting tissues and occlusion.

At Kitchener Street Dental, we are able to provide our patients with orthodontic treatment tailored to meet your needs and expectations. The first step in determining your orthodontic treatment plan is learning about your current orthodontic condition. A detailed examination of teeth, supporting tissues and face will be performed, to identify the need for orthodontic correction.

We have various treatments available dependant on the patient’s diagnosis and oral health. Our orthodontic services include;

MRC Myofunctional therapy and appliances

The Trainer System

T4K ® Phase 1 (soft) is most effective in early mixed dentition for tooth eruption guidance and correction of myofunctional habits can be applied for children six years and over. Myofunctional appliances in conjunction with exercises and help strengthen, co-ordinate and restore muscles of the face and tongue. This treatment is highly effective with tongue thrust, abnormal lip, jaw, swallowing and speech conditions.

T4K® Phase 2 (harder) appliance usually follows after five to eight months of Phase 1 use to achieve better tooth alignment.

Invisalign

Made to Move

Invisalign® is a clear and invisible solution to straighten your teeth. Treatment times have been 50% less than other treatments.

How does Invisalign® work?

Invisalign® utilises 3D imaging technology to develop a series of clear, custom made aligners that gently and gradually move your teeth into their new position. Every fortnight your aligners change over to a new set of aligners that will encourage your teeth into their new positions.

When you are ready to proceed with treatment, we issue you with your custom-made aligners with instructions for you to follow at home. We will see you every six to eight weeks to check on your progress and address any concerns you may have during the course of treatment.

The benefits of Invisalign®

• Smooth and comfortable
• They are easy to clean and can be removed when brushing and flossing
