Services
Traditional Braces
Traditional metal braces at Riversdale Orthodontics offer durable, effective treatment for complex orthodontic issues. Using high-quality brackets and archwires, this method corrects misalignments and bite problems through gradual adjustments. Our modern braces prioritise comfort while ensuring optimal results for patients seeking reliable orthodontic solutions.
Invisalign
Invisalign clear aligners provide a discreet, removable alternative to traditional braces. Custom-made trays gradually shift teeth into alignment without visible brackets or wires, ideal for professionals and adults seeking aesthetic solutions. Treatment includes regular check-ups and replacement aligners for progressive tooth movement.
Early Orthodontic Treatment
Early orthodontic intervention addresses developmental issues in children aged seven and above. By guiding jaw growth and tooth eruption, this approach prevents severe crowding or bite problems, potentially reducing future treatment complexity. Regular monitoring ensures timely adjustments for optimal dental development.
Lingual Braces
Lingual braces offer complete discretion by attaching to the back of teeth. Custom-fitted for individual comfort, this option delivers the same effectiveness as traditional braces while remaining invisible from the front. Ideal for public-facing professionals requiring subtle orthodontic correction.
Surgical Orthodontics
Surgical orthodontics corrects severe jaw irregularities through combined orthodontic and surgical procedures. This treatment addresses functional issues like misaligned bites and jaw joint disorders, improving both dental function and facial aesthetics. Pre- and post-surgical orthodontic care ensures comprehensive results.

Friendly and informative staff. Non-judgemental about my bad flossing habits and very helpful with removing my permanent retainer. I was impressed by the new 3d printing technology to make my new overnight retainer too! Thankyou!

Paul Schneider has done braces for myself 38 yrs ago and since then 3 more of my sisters - he also did braces for my now 20 yr old son and we are back with him again for my 17yr old son!. Paul and his practice are an amazing group of professionals, a caring and talented team from the reception staff through to the orthodontists...... I really could not rate them high enough and Paul I believe has every child's absolute best interests at heart when he treats them...... all smiles here :)
