Services
Braces
Traditional metal braces provide precise tooth movement for complex alignment issues. Our specialist orthodontists customise bracket placement and wire adjustments to correct bite problems and create straighter smiles. Suitable for patients of all ages seeking durable, effective treatment solutions.
Clear Aligners
Custom-made clear aligners offer a discreet alternative to traditional braces. These removable trays gradually shift teeth into optimal positions while maintaining aesthetic appeal. Ideal for adults and teens prioritising appearance during orthodontic treatment.
Functional Appliances
Specialised appliances address jaw growth discrepancies in growing patients. Early intervention helps correct bite relationships and create space for permanent teeth. Our approach focuses on long-term facial development and functional improvement.
Orthognathic Surgery
Combined orthodontic and surgical treatment corrects severe jaw misalignment. Our specialists coordinate pre-surgical preparation and post-operative care to improve chewing function, speech, and facial symmetry for complex cases.
Cross-Bite Treatment
Targeted interventions address cross-bites affecting front or back teeth. Treatment options include expanders and braces to realign dental arches, preventing uneven wear and improving overall bite function for lasting oral health.

We have been so pleased with Dr Fitzpatrick and the team at Caboolture. A little disappointed today with the retainer moulding as it didn't fit but other than that I totally recommend Shine!

I have had 2 daughters smiles under the care of Dr Bruce and the shine team, and the results have been nothing short of amazing. As a parent, you can't buy self confidence for your child, but this is the closest you will get. I wholeheartedly recommend the services of Shine Orthodontics. And Dr Bruce Trusler, absolutely love your work, thank you.

Shine Orthodontics is truly the most professional, friendly and caring practice. Dr Tony Shields is seriously knowledgeable, and in my opinion the most talented orthodontist in the world. His techniques are world class and up to date with the latest cutting edge technology. Both my children have had their lives transformed by the incredible orthodontic improvements. He has really made a difference to their confidence and their dental health. I am in awe of his work and he would be my first recommendation to anyone.

The following is my opinion, I am NOT a medical practitioner and this is only ADVICE.
Tony Shields uses braces that were outdated over a decade ago, as per his website. His treatment plans are poor and do not consider airway or jaw position, only teeth. It is entirely possible you leave his practice with amazing teeth yet being highly unattractive and suffering from a breathing related sleep disorder.
REMEMBER, if your kids are seeing an orthodontist at age 10-12, IT IS TOO LATE. You must start before 5 years old ideally. 50% of craniofacial growth has occurred by age 5, so as the kid gets older
