Straighter, in time

Crowding, gaps and bites can be corrected at almost any age. The question is usually not whether it can be done, but which appliance suits your teeth, your life and your budget.

What’s Included

Three ways to straighten

All three options move teeth using gentle, sustained pressure over months. They differ in how visible they are, how much they rely on you, and what kinds of movement they handle well.

How We Approach It

How we plan treatment

Records first

Photographs, X-rays and a digital scan. We map where teeth are now and where they need to go before quoting anything.

Options with trade-offs

You’ll hear what each appliance would mean for your case — time, visibility, cost, and how much depends on you wearing it.

Realistic timeframes

Simple cases can finish in six months; complex bites take two years or more. We give you a range and revisit it as we go.

Retention is part of the plan

Teeth drift back. Retainers aren’t an upsell at the end — they’re how the result is kept, and we build them into the quote from the start.

Who It Suits

Worth an assessment if

  • Your teeth are crowded, overlapping or rotated
  • You have gaps you’d like closed
  • Your bite doesn’t meet evenly, or your jaw aches
  • Your child is 7 or older and their adult teeth are coming in crooked
  • You had braces years ago and your teeth have shifted since
  • Cleaning is hard because teeth are tightly packed

Costs & Health Funds

What it costs, before it starts

Every treatment plan we give you carries its price, its inclusions and any conditions in writing before you agree to anything. Orthodontics is usually paid over the course of treatment rather than upfront, and most health funds with orthodontic cover contribute. Payment plans are available.

Health funds on the spot

Bring your card and we claim through HICAPS at the desk, so you only pay the gap. All funds welcome, including HCF, Bupa, Medibank, nib, CBHS, Teachers Health, Defence Health, Australian Unity and GMHBA.
