Braces -Orthodontic Treatment in Oakleigh
What are braces?
Braces treatment uses gentle, continuous pressure from brackets and wires to gradually move teeth into better alignment. It improves smile, bite, and overall oral health, with results developing over months to a few years, depending on each case.

We use digital technology for precise diagnosis, planning, and tooth movement monitoring, helping you achieve a confident, balanced smile.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the best age to get braces?
Braces can be effective for both young kids, teenagers and adults. While early treatment (around ages 6–14) can guide proper jaw growth, adults can also achieve excellent results.
2. How long does orthodontic treatment take?
Treatment time varies depending on your case, typically between 12 to 24 months. Your estimated treatment time and treatment plan will be discussed with you during your consultation appointment, and after taking proper records, like photos and mouth scans.
3. Are braces painful?
You might feel pressure or soreness for a few days after adjustments, but this is temporary.
You may also experience the feeling of loose teeth, or discomfort eating chewy food.
4. Can I choose clear brackets?
Yes. We offer clear ceramic brackets.
5. What is the difference between braces and aligners?
Braces use metal or ceramic brackets and wires to move teeth, while aligners are clear, removable trays that gradually shift teeth without brackets. Aligners are more discreet and convenient, whereas braces are better for complex tooth movements.
