Treatment options

Two proven paths to a straighter smile

During your consultation we'll assess which option best suits your child's age, dental needs and lifestyle.

Traditional braces
Metal braces

Fixed braces remain one of the most reliable options for a wide range of alignment and bite concerns. Modern designs are smaller and more comfortable than older generations.

  • Suitable for a broad range of orthodontic needs
  • Fixed in place — no risk of misplacing or forgetting
  • Generally a more cost-effective option
  • Coloured band choices can make treatment more fun for kids
Clear aligners
Invisalign & Spark

Removable, near-invisible trays that gradually move teeth into position. A popular choice for teens who prefer a more discreet option during treatment.

  • Near-invisible when worn
  • Removable for eating, brushing and flossing
  • No metal brackets or wires
  • Best suited to older, responsible teens (worn 20–22 hrs/day)

Common questions

Parents often ask us

What age should my child have an orthodontic assessment? +
We recommend an initial assessment around age 7. At this stage your child will typically have a mix of baby and adult teeth, which allows us to assess how the jaw and teeth are developing. Early assessment doesn't always mean early treatment — but it gives us the opportunity to monitor things and plan ahead if needed.
How do I know if my child needs braces? +
Some signs worth discussing with us include crowded or crooked teeth, noticeable gaps, bite issues such as overbite or underbite, difficulty chewing, or jaw clicking. However, many orthodontic concerns aren't obvious without a proper clinical assessment — which is exactly what the consultation is for.
How long does orthodontic treatment typically take? +
Treatment length varies depending on the type and complexity of your child's case, as well as the treatment chosen. Many children and teens complete treatment within 12 to 24 months. We'll give you a clearer estimate during the consultation once we've assessed your child's specific situation.
Will braces hurt? +
Some mild discomfort in the first few days after braces are fitted or adjusted is common, though most children adapt quickly. We'll share practical home-care tips to help manage any tenderness and will check in with your child throughout treatment.
What's the difference between metal braces and clear aligners? +
Metal braces are fixed to the teeth and well-suited to a wide range of orthodontic needs, including more complex cases. Clear aligners (such as Invisalign and Spark) are removable, near-invisible trays — popular with older teens who prefer a more discreet option. The right choice depends on your child's clinical needs, age and lifestyle. We'll discuss which is more appropriate during the consultation.
Do you offer payment plans? +
Yes, we offer flexible payment plan options to help make treatment more manageable for families. The full cost of your child's treatment will be clearly explained before anything begins. Health fund rebates may also apply depending on your level of cover — we recommend checking with your provider.
