Advantages of Conventional Braces

The side by side design draws attention to differences in appearance, removability and lifestyle impact. Smile Concepts uses this to explain that both methods can straighten teeth effectively, but aligners offer a more discreet option for many adults. The graphic encourages a personalised consultation where pros and cons are discussed based on individual needs.

Here the thing: Traditional bracket-and-wire systems make it straightforward to bring your bite into alignment. Anything from minor crowding to major spacing concerns can be addressed.

Today, you even have the option of selecting ceramic brackets that blend in with the colour of your teeth, making them less noticeable.

Conventional braces work well on adults, teens, and children alike. They’re extremely predictable and one of the most cost-savvy treatments when it comes to orthodontic treatment in Sydney CBD.

The Downside to Braces

The visual demonstrates that comprehensive orthodontic treatment can be much less noticeable than traditional metal appliances. Smile Concepts uses this imagery to reassure patients who want effective control but prefer a more aesthetic option. It emphasises careful placement, smooth edges designed for comfort, and the clinic's ability to combine function and appearance during the teeth-straightening journey.

Perhaps the biggest concern of Sydney braces-wearers is cleaning around their appliances. Since everything is fixed in place, you’ll need to slightly alter your diet and home care routine. But as long as you don’t mind using an electric toothbrush or water flosser, you can get by just fine!

Occasionally, you may have the random appliance or wire that rubs the inside of your mouth. Typically, your cheeks and lips get used to braces over time, but it can help to have some orthodontic wax on hand for occasional irritation.

Most of the time, you could still eat and drink as per usual.

So, fret not!

Clear, removable Invisalign trays are one of the most subtle ways to straighten your teeth. 

The transparent materials make them almost invisible so that you can wear them all day, no matter where you are.

Invisalign, for example, is easier to clean and care for since the trays are removable. You won’t have to adjust your diet, since you could remove the aligners during mealtime.

Downside of Invisalign

Wearing Invisalign requires dedication. If you have a hard time remembering to wear your trays, knowing when to change them out, or misplacing them during meals, they may not be right for you. That’s why Invisalign treatment for younger patients is typically determined on a case-by-case basis.

Aligners can get misplaced, broken, or warp when exposed to high temperatures. As long as you keep up with them properly, these issues tend to be minor.
