Braces, Central Coast - expert care for a straighter smile
At Coombe Orthodontics, we believe that straight teeth are an investment in both your health and confidence. That’s why traditional braces remain the go-to solution for many of our patients across the Central Coast, Newcastle, and Sydney. With modern advancements, braces are now more comfortable and effective than ever, helping you achieve a straighter smile with expert care.
The risks of misaligned teeth
Crooked or misaligned teeth aren’t just a cosmetic concern - they can impact your oral health and overall well-being. Many patients seeking braces in Central Coast, Newcastle, and Sydney do so because misalignment makes it harder to maintain proper oral hygiene, leading to plaque build-up, cavities, and gum disease.
Beyond hygiene, issues like overbites and underbites can affect how you chew food and even impact speech clarity. At Coombe Orthodontics, we offer expert treatment options, including traditional and clear braces, to help correct these concerns and create a healthier, more confident smile.
The benefits of braces
Many of our patients are pleasantly surprised by the uplift in confidence that orthodontic treatment brings. They find themselves smiling more often and more broadly, impacting on their social interactions and confidence in their professional and family life.
Dr Coombe talks more about braces Insignia braces,
the sophisticated solution
This revolutionary system of braces delivers truly customised results to our orthodontic patients. One of the most cutting-edge systems of braces available today, Insignia braces use individualised brackets and custom wires. Sophisticated software will scan your bite and create a precise plan for bracket placements and custom wire fitting.
Comfortable and efficient. Insignia uses a specialised, indirect bonding technique. Your custom-made brackets arrive at Coombe Orthodontics in pre-prepared trays, which we then place over your teeth. This fast technique, attaching 3-4 brackets at a time, delivers the precision needed for the most effective results. When the brackets are in place, we fit the custom archwire. These are milled and shaped for your comfort and efficiency.
5 advantages of Insignia braces
- Fast treatment - compared with other braces, Insignia gets results 25-35% faster
- Fewer necessary appointments, so less time in the treatment chair
- Your virtual 3D model of the final result is included in your treatment price
- Effective - sophisticated computer precision calculates optimal tooth movement
- Cutting-edge design means no manual placement of brackets - Insignia braces define exactly where your brackets should be
Ceramic clear braces -
the superior aesthetic
Made of porcelain, these clear braces are a great choice for adults and younger patients who want less obvious braces. Aesthetically superior to traditional metal braces, ceramic braces closely match your tooth colour.
What are the benefits of clear braces?
- Strong and resilient - porcelain is a strong material and rarely dislodges from teeth
- Stain resistant, they will always match the colour of your teeth
- Patients find them comfortable as ceramic braces don’t irritate gums
- Self-ligating, they adjust themselves, which means fewer, shorter appointments
Self-ligating braces
Self-ligating braces are far superior to traditional braces, which use small elastics to attach the archwire to brackets. Self-ligating braces instead use a small clip, to help slowly guide the teeth into the desired position. Using less pressure than traditional braces, they are also more comfortable. Treatment using self-ligating braces is faster, with fewer, shorter appointments than traditional braces.
Why choose self-ligating braces?
- Faster than traditional braces, their design is more efficient
- Comfortable to wear - the pressure of self-ligating braces is gentle yet effective
- Stain-resistant, they won’t discolour during treatment
- Easy to keep clean - maintain your oral hygiene for healthier teeth
- Affordable - self-ligating braces require fewer, shorter appointments, making them a more cost-effective choice
