Orthodontics
Orthodontics at Yeronga Smile Dental
What is orthodontics and how does it work? Orthodontics is the field of dentistry focused on diagnosing, preventing, and correcting misaligned teeth and jaws. Treatment usually involves braces or clear aligners, both of which gently move the teeth into their ideal position over time.
If you’re exploring options for braces in Yeronga, our in-house orthodontic team offers a range of tailored solutions to help you achieve a straighter, healthier smile.
Who can benefit from orthodontic treatment?
Orthodontic treatment can benefit people of all ages. You may be a candidate if you have:
Early orthodontic assessments for children (usually from age 7) can also help identify and manage issues before they become more complex.
What types of orthodontic treatments do you offer?
At Yeronga Smile Dental, we offer both traditional and modern orthodontic options:
We’ll help you choose the treatment that best suits your needs, goals, and lifestyle.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
Treatment duration depends on the complexity of your case, but most orthodontic plans range from 6 months to 2 years. We'll provide a personalised timeline and keep you informed at every stage.
Is orthodontic treatment painful?
Some discomfort is normal during the first few days of starting treatment or after adjustments, but this is temporary and manageable. We provide guidance on how to ease tenderness and support your comfort throughout the process.
How often will I need appointments?
Most patients visit us every 4 to 8 weeks for progress checks and adjustments. These appointments are essential to ensure your treatment is on track and your teeth are moving as planned.
Are braces just for cosmetic reasons?
Not at all. While straighter teeth certainly improve aesthetics, orthodontics also helps correct bite issues, improve oral hygiene (by making teeth easier to clean), and reduce the risk of abnormal wear or jaw discomfort.
Can adults get braces or aligners?
Absolutely. It’s never too late to improve your smile. More adults are choosing orthodontic treatment now than ever before. Clear aligners and ceramic braces make treatment more discreet and lifestyle-friendly.
