When is Orthodontic Treatment Recommended?
We typically recommend an orthodontic evaluation by the time children turn 7 years of age. At that point we have a general idea as to how their adult teeth and jaw development will look in the future. Intercepting growth patterns earlier makes childhood braces more effective.

However, adults are also candidates for Orthodontics Townsville Treatment. Especially if issues like crowding, gaps, or overall tooth misalignment are a concern. By correcting the way your teeth fit together, you can reduce the chances of problems like:

Periodontal/gum disease

Worn down teeth

Broken dental work

TMJ disorder

Headaches and muscle pain

Candidates for Braces
Before starting orthodontic therapy, it’s important to make sure your ...
... teeth are healthy. Any existing tooth decay will need to be treated before placing braces on your teeth.

Braces in Townsville
Orthodontic braces are either fixed or removable. A brace is used to straighten your teeth and give you a beautiful straight smile. Braces work by using gentle pressure to move your teeth to the right position and end up giving you a perfect smile.

How Does Invisalign® Clear Aligners Work?
Unlike your traditional metal braces, Invisalign covers each & every tooth completely. These aligners keep pushing your teeth gently to align them in the desired position.

After wearing it for few weeks, Invisalign will straighten your teeth, giving you a picture-perfect smile!

Do I need to wear Invisalign constantly?
Invisalign offers a lot of flexibility, unlike their metal peers. You can easily remove them while eating or cleaning. But we recommend wearing it for maximum hours a day to ensure quicker results.

How long will the whole process take?
The period of treatment depends on your dental conditions & how long you wear Invisalign a day. But on average, it will take anywhere between 12 to 14 months.

Meanwhile, you can see the results in a couple of weeks.
