Braces made better — precise and effective orthodontics
A straighter smile can make a world of difference—not just for appearance, but for how your teeth function and feel every day. We know orthodontic treatment can feel like a big step, whether it’s for a child, teen, or adult. Getting it just right takes a gentle, personalised approach — and at Moorooka Square Dental, we guide you through every stage with care and patience.
When it comes to orthodontics, you’ve got options. We offer both metal and ceramic braces, so you can choose the option that works best for your lifestyle. Using modern tools like digital scans and advanced planning, we make sure your treatment is as comfortable, clear, and effective as possible—helping you enjoy the journey as much as the results.
What braces can do for your smile
Braces gently guide your teeth into healthier, straighter positions over time. Beyond just improving appearance, they can address a variety of dental and jaw concerns, including:
- Crooked, rotated, or crowded teeth
- Gaps or spacing between teeth
- Overbites, underbites, crossbites, deep bites, or open bites
- Misaligned midline between upper and lower teeth
- Jaw growth and development concerns in children
- Functional issues affecting chewing or overall oral health
- Jaw discomfort or TMJ-related problems
- Prevention of future dental issues, such as uneven wear or gum problems
Well-aligned teeth aren’t just more attractive—they’re easier to clean, less prone to uneven wear, and can support better overall oral health and confidence.
Brace options designed around you
Finding the right braces is about what works best for you, which is why we offer options tailored to your needs and lifestyle.
Strong, reliable, and highly effective for a wide range of orthodontic cases. Often recommended for children and teens, metal braces deliver consistent results with tried-and-tested durability.
Clear or tooth-coloured brackets make these braces a discreet alternative, perfect for patients who want a less noticeable option without compromising effectiveness.
Whichever option you choose, you’ll enjoy a smile that steadily aligns throughout your treatment. During your consultation, we’ll help you decide on the approach that best fits your goals, lifestyle, and smile
Braces to suit children, teens, and adults
- Children – We recommend an orthodontic assessment around ages 6–8, when permanent teeth start to emerge. Early evaluation allows us to monitor jaw growth and address any concerns, sometimes reducing the length or complexity of future treatment.
- Teens – Braces are most commonly recommended during the teenage years, as teeth and jaws are still developing. This timing helps achieve optimal alignment and long-lasting results.
- Adults – It’s never too late to improve your smile. Braces can be highly effective for adults, and with modern, discreet options like ceramic braces, many choose treatment for both health and cosmetic reasons.
What to expect during braces treatment
1. Consultation and assessment – We’ll take a close look at your teeth, bite, and jaw using digital X-rays or intraoral scans, and talk through your goals to understand the smile you want to achieve.
2. Treatment planning – Your dentist will create a personalised plan, explaining the recommended braces type, estimated treatment time, and what to expect at each stage.
3. Fitting braces – Brackets are carefully attached to your teeth and connected with wires, starting the gentle process of moving your teeth into their ideal positions.
4. Regular reviews – Every 4–6 weeks, you’ll visit us for progress checks, wire adjustments, and guidance to keep your treatment on track.
5. Completion and retention – Once your braces are removed, a custom retainer will help maintain your new smile and ensure your results last for years to come.
