Orthodontics

Orthodontics in Melbourne focuses on correcting crowded or crooked teeth to improve both the look and function of your smile. Orthodontic treatment helps to straighten teeth and move them into a better position, enhancing your appearance while also improving oral health and function. Well-aligned teeth are easier to clean, more comfortable to use, and can reduce the risk of dental issues in the future.

Orthodontic treatment not only corrects the position of your teeth but also promotes the long-term health of your teeth, jaw joints, and gums by evenly distributing biting pressure across all teeth. For patients with crowded or crooked teeth, orthodontics helps achieve an optimal bite and a balanced smile.

Orthodontic Treatment for Children and Adults

Usually, the ideal time to start this treatment is in childhood when the teeth and jaw are still developing. At Kids Dentistry in Melbourne, our friendly team ensures children receive early, gentle orthodontic care to support proper jaw development and healthy smiles.

However, adults can also benefit from orthodontic treatment — and more are choosing to improve their smiles later in life. Our orthodontist will assess your needs and recommend a customised plan tailored to your specific dental condition.

What to Expect During Orthodontic Treatment?

Before beginning, our team will examine your teeth, create plaster models, and take digital X-rays to understand your dental structure. We’ll then discuss suitable treatment options and develop a plan that suits your goals and lifestyle.

At Melbourne Family Dentist, we offer several types of orthodontic appliances to correct teeth positioning, including:

• Fixed braces
• Removable braces
• Functional appliances
• Headgear

Each treatment is designed to gradually move your teeth into proper alignment while ensuring comfort and safety.

Combine Orthodontics with Comprehensive Dental Care

Orthodontic care is most effective when combined with other areas of dentistry. Maintaining healthy teeth and gums during orthodontic treatment is essential, which is why we recommend regular visits for General Dentistry services and Preventive Dentistry treatments.

If you’re also interested in enhancing the appearance of your smile once alignment is achieved, explore our range of Cosmetic Dentistry options to complement your orthodontic results beautifully.
