Adults

The biomechanics of moving teeth is consistent at any age, although it often takes a bit longer in adults. This is another way of saying: its never too late to create a beautiful smile

Undergoing orthodontics at later stages in life can significantly improve your self-esteem and appearance. Many professionals are choosing to undergo orthodontic treatment to improve their self confidence on the job.

Improving the health of your teeth and gums is equally important. Crooked teeth and a bad bite can contribute to gum and bone loss, tooth decay, abnormal wear of the tooth enamel and surfaces, headaches and jaw joint (TMJ/TMD) pain. Undergoing orthodontic treatment, even as an adult, can address these issues and enhance the future health of your dentition.

We specialise in aesthetic treatment options for adults so that you can undergo treatment discreetly and quickly

• Hidden braces, or the more technical term ‘lingual braces’, are placed behind the teeth so they are completely hidden. We have a number of customised lingual options including Suresmile Fusion ® and Incognito®; and these are the preferred option for many of our adult patients. Learn more >
• Clear or ceramic braces are the aesthetic alternative to metal braces, being the same colour as your teeth. Learn more >
• Invisalign® or clear aligners can be used to treat mild to moderate orthodontic conditions. Learn more >

How long will treatment take?

There are many factors to be taken into account in formulating a treatment plan tailored specifically to your needs. We find adults are very motivated and compliant during orthodontic treatment, which means their treatment plans can be completed within 18 to 24 months.

We are excited to offer Suresmile® in our clinic – a cutting edge technology which utilises advanced 3D imaging, virtual simulations and robotically bent wires to move teeth to the final position. It offers our patients more precision, better results, and a beautiful smile in less time than conventional braces.

Suresmile® has been shown to reduce treatment times by 30% or more, saving an average of 8 months in treatment. With Suresmile®, your teeth don’t move faster. They just move more directly to their finishing positions as determined by Dr Siva’s treatment plan. Learn more >
