Straightening Teeth and Jaw Development
Clear aligner therapy can be a great solution for those looking for a virtually invisible way to improve their smile. Our state-of-the-art technology makes it possible to fix nearly all teeth-straightening and bite concerns, from simple to complex - all without interrupting your busy life.
The team at The Thirty Two has lectured extensively both in Australia and internationally on these topics, and incorporates a novel approach that seeks to address the root causes of crooked teeth and restricted jaw/facial development.
Tooth alignment and jaw development can be influenced by the following factors:
Airway obstructions (resulting in mouth vs nasal breathing)
Muscular habits in and around the mouth (behaviour of the tongue and facial muscles)
Diet (soft vs hard texture, and poor nutritional value)
Genetics and Congenital issues
We seek to diagnose these root causes, and refer to the appropriate practitioners where necessary to help produce a better and longer-lasting result.
The Thirty Two typically uses clear aligners to straighten teeth, rather than braces.
The Why
The benefits of straight teeth can also extend to more than just a pretty smile. Crowded or misaligned teeth, along with any bite issues that are left uncorrected can lead to further issues such as:
Chipped teeth, including wearing down of natural tooth structure and loss of enamel
Jaw joint degeneration (TMJ issues)
Functional bite issues
Difficulty with efficient cleaning of the teeth (flossing etc.)
Greater risk of cavities and gum disease
Benefits of straightening your teeth may include:
Reduced risk of cavities and improved oral hygiene efficiency
Prevention of gum disease
Improved confidence
The How
Treatment starts with a consultation and assessment at The Thirty Two. We will evaluate your smile and then create a precise, customised treatment plan, that showcases a 3D animated step-by-step transformation.
Once you approve the plan, your bespoke aligners will be created. Each set of aligners will gently and precisely shift your teeth into place, according to your treatment plan.
Over the course of your journey, we will work with you to address any breathing and muscle habits that have contributed to the crowding of teeth. This will not only improve the final results and their long-term stability, but also your overall health and wellbeing.
How Much
Each person is unique and the time and attention it will take to create your dream smile will depend on various factors.
So that we can get a better idea of what will be involved in your journey, orthodontic records will be taken, including photos and 3D scans. Using these records a bespoke treatment plan can then be created to answer all of your questions.
