Services
Invisalign
Invisalign uses virtually invisible aligners to straighten teeth without traditional braces. These removable appliances offer a discreet solution for adults and teens seeking orthodontic treatment. Our practice is the highest awarded Invisalign provider in the region, with specialist orthodontists experienced in complex case management.
Traditional braces
Traditional metal braces provide effective tooth movement for complex alignment issues. Modern designs offer improved comfort and reduced visibility compared to older models. Our specialists tailor bracket placement and archwire sequencing to optimise treatment outcomes for children, teens, and adults.
Ceramic braces
Ceramic braces combine the effectiveness of traditional braces with aesthetic benefits. The tooth-coloured brackets blend with natural teeth while maintaining structural strength. This option suits patients seeking less visible fixed orthodontic treatment, particularly for complex cases requiring precise tooth positioning.
Lingual braces
Lingual braces are custom-fitted to the back surfaces of teeth for complete discretion. This technique requires specialist expertise to ensure optimal alignment while maintaining oral function. Ideal for professionals and image-conscious patients who prefer completely invisible orthodontic treatment.
Retainers
Post-treatment retainers maintain corrected tooth positions following active orthodontic care. We provide custom-fitted removable retainers and fixed bonded options to ensure long-term stability. Our specialists advise on appropriate wear schedules to preserve treatment results and prevent relapse.

My daughter and I Sarah attended this practice today. Coming from Sydney recently I was under the impression " they would be quite backwards' with their technology and approach. I cannot fault any one of the team here. Absoloutely outstanding with the service, technology and expertise we encountered today. Every team member in this practice was friendly ,approachable and well groomed . This is paramount in the industry and certainly something the Sydney practices could take a lesson from.
Having researched and encountering many visits to orthodontists and dentists in general having 4 children
