How long do I need to wear braces?

In the majority of cases, the duration of wearing braces is 12-24 months. Some cases take a shorter time and others longer, depending on how complex the alignment is. We will give you an estimate at your consultation.

Braces are not usually painful. You may notice some minor discomfort when they are first fitted and after each adjustment, which simply means the teeth are moving as they should. It settles within a few days.

Can adults get braces?

Yes. Braces are not only for teenagers - adults can wear them too, and many do, to improve both their oral health and the appearance of their smile.

How do I care for my braces?

Keep up good oral hygiene by brushing carefully around the wires and brackets with the special tools we provide, and avoid hard or chewy foods that can damage the brackets.

How often will I need to visit the clinic?

Most patients come in after every 4-6 weeks to get adjustments and review their progress. We will set out a schedule that suits you when your treatment starts.

Are payment options available?

Yes. Through our partnership with DentiCare we offer customised interest-free payment plans. You can review them at denticarepaymentplans.com.au, or ask our reception team.

What Are Braces?

Braces are a therapeutic intervention that is used in straightening teeth and correcting the bite mechanism. Over time, they gradually align your teeth to the right position by pressing them gently but continually. This assists in taking the teeth into a better position and enhances the fitting of teeth.
