Orthodontics in Mount Waverley

Wearing braces and holding alignerA beautifully aligned smile can transform your confidence and oral health. At Dickson Street Dental, we provide personalised orthodontic care for patients of all ages, offering a range of options to suit your lifestyle and preferences, from clear aligners like Invisalign®, ClearCorrect™, and SureSmile® to traditional braces. Whether you’re exploring orthodontics for yourself or a loved one, our team guides you every step of the way.

Which Orthodontic Option is Right for You?

Understanding your unique needs is our priority. For patients looking for a more discreet way to straighten their teeth, clear aligners offer a comfortable and nearly invisible alternative to braces. Clear aligners like Invisalign, ClearCorrect, and SureSmile gently shift your teeth over time. They’re removable, allowing you to eat and clean your teeth without hassle.

For those requiring traditional braces, we offer fixed metal braces that work well for more complex cases. Regardless of your choice, we’ll provide clear guidance and ongoing support to ensure you feel confident and informed throughout your care.

What Should I Expect During My Care?

The orthodontic journey starts with a comprehensive exam, including scans and photos, to design your customised plan. The timeline and cost will depend on your specific case, as each patient’s dental needs are unique. Once your plan is set, we’ll provide a detailed breakdown and answer any questions you have.

For clear aligners, patients need to commit to wearing them at least 22 hours a day and visit us regularly – every two to three weeks – to receive new aligners or adjustments. Traditional braces require similar check-ins, where we tighten the wires to keep your teeth moving toward their optimal alignment.
