Adult Braces and Orthodontic Treatment

While many adults prefer the discreet clear aligner treatment provided by Invisalign for its flexibility and near-invisibility, some complex orthodontic conditions benefit from traditional braces. Today’s braces are smaller, lower profile, and come in tooth-coloured options for more discreet treatment.

We offer comprehensive options for adult patients seeking orthodontic treatment in Harris Park:

  • Traditional Metal Braces: Strong, reliable, and highly effective for severe cases.
  • Ceramic Braces: Use tooth-coloured or clear brackets for a less noticeable appearance.
  • Invisalign Clear Aligners: Custom, removable aligners for mild to moderate misalignment.

It’s never too late for a straight, healthy smile. Conditions we successfully treat with adult orthodontics include:

  • Overbite and Underbite
  • Crossbite and Malocclusion (improper bite)
  • Misalignment and Gappy Smiles
  • Overlapping Teeth and Crowding

Children’s Braces and Early Orthodontic Intervention in Harris Park

We recommend children have their first orthodontic evaluation while they are still developing, which is around age seven or eight. This is the ideal time to assess the need for interceptive orthodontics, also known as Phase I treatment.

The Goal of Early Treatment

With early treatment, the Painfree Dentistry team aims to help guide the growth of your child’s jaw to its optimum position, ensuring there is enough space for their adult teeth to emerge. This early attention can help minimise severe overcrowding problems in the future, often preventing the need for the extraction of otherwise perfect, healthy adult teeth.

Because your child’s bones are still developing, they are easier to guide into the proper alignment. Although your child may still need orthodontics such as braces or retainers later (Phase II), early intervention can help reduce overall treatment time, scale and cost.

Our Paediatric Orthodontic Services

  • Interceptive Orthodontics (Phase I): Early treatment focused on jaw modification using appliances like Growth Modification Appliances (e.g., expanders) to correct jaw discrepancies.
  • Phase II Orthodontics: Later treatment, usually involving traditional children’s braces or aligners, once most adult teeth have erupted, to fine-tune alignment.
  • Space Maintainers: Custom-made appliances used after the early loss of a baby tooth to hold space for the permanent tooth.
  • Teen Orthodontics: Including full traditional braces and Invisalign for Teens.
