We can treat most common problems with adult braces and work with other Specialists if you have special needs or have other dental health issues that need to be addressed.
Braces are now a "grown up" problem!
It's never too late to fix your smile.
What does getting married, professional development and self confidence have in common?
Most of these occur naturally in your 30's!
More and more people are taking up Orthodontic treatment to give them the smile they love. Often it's for the career they want, those wedding photos for the mantle and the confidence to smile with their teeth.
Even adults who received treatment as teens are experiencing the need for realignment. This might be due to a lost and never replaced retainer, natural shifting, lost teeth or sustaining facial injury.
Nearly a third of our patients are adults seeking Orthodontic treatment - whether they are first timers, or are in for round two.
You won't be the only "grown up" in the waiting room.
So why spend another day avoiding the mirror, when you can do something about your smile?

Does age matter when getting braces?
You may think that as an adult, it’s just too late for correction with braces – but that’s definitely not the case. We’ve undergone enormous advances in Orthodontic treatment over the last couple of decades — meaning that modern Orthodontic technology is more comfortable, more flexible and more discreet than ever.
With new treatments like clear Invisalign ® braces available, you can wear braces without your friends or colleagues even realising they’re there. Being shy about wearing braces is a thing of the past.
Wearing braces as an adult doesn’t mean missing out on life; while you might need to make some minor, temporary adjustments to your diet (in order to ensure food doesn’t get stuck between the wires and cause discomfort or breakage to your braces), you’ll still be able to enjoy those ‘adult’ vices like red wine or coffee. Just make sure you rinse your mouth thoroughly after consuming foods or beverages which tend to stain your teeth.
Invisalign ® treatment for adults
With new treatments like clear Invisalign appliances, you can wear them without your friends or colleagues even realising they're there. Being shy about wearing braces is a thing of the past.
Invisalign ® treatment involves a series of clear plastic aligners (that look like a very thin mouthguard), which gradually direct your teeth into the correct position.
Invisalign ® is a great option for people who want to improve their smile, but are concerned about how braces may impact their lifestyle. Invisalign aligners are removable for eating, they are a flexible and an extremely popular option for patients with mild to moderate dental problems.
Invisalign ® is especially popular for people with major lifestyle deadlines such as weddings, or speaking engagements where they are concerned about photos as the risk of treatment running overtime is not a problem.
