Orthodontics in Brisbane CBD
You’re more likely to beam with greater confidence and flash a broad grin when you have beautifully aligned pearly whites. At Excellence in Dentistry, we love helping patients achieve their smile goals with high-quality orthodontic solutions!
If you have misaligned, gapped or crowded teeth, we’re here for you with a number of orthodontic options.
Popular with adults, these “inside braces” are attached to the inside of your teeth rather than the outside, making them invisible when you smile.
How they’re different: These braces are truly invisible compared to aligners.
Who can benefit?: Anyone looking to straighten their smile inconspicuously!
Top benefits: They can effectively correct crowding problems.
Considerations: They are limited when it comes to correcting bite issues, such as open bite.
As the world’s most widely known clear aligners, Invisalign aligners are custom-made and removable. They are changed approximately every two weeks to move teeth into the desired position.
How it’s different: These virtually clear aligners are comfortable and removable.
Who can benefit?: Anyone looking to straighten their smile discreetly!
Top benefits: Because they’re removable, you can eat what you want and maintaining oral hygiene is effortless.
Considerations: As the aligners aren’t affixed like traditional braces, they may not be ideal for less committed patients who may not be so good with wearing them compliantly.
This short-term, fixed ceramic brace system produces proven and predictable results based on sound orthodontic principles.
How they’re different: Smilefast braces offer a more visually appealing option for individuals seeking fixed orthodontic treatment.
Who can benefit?: Those who have overcrowded or incorrectly spaced teeth.
Top benefits: These braces focus on visible front teeth alignment, providing quicker results compared to comprehensive orthodontic systems. Plus, Smilefast is affordable.
Considerations: Smilefast primarily addresses cosmetic issues, so it might not be suitable for complex orthodontic cases.
Myobrace pre-orthodontic treatment focuses on treating the underlying causes of crooked teeth, often without the need for braces or extraction of teeth.
How it’s different: Myobrace differs by focusing on correcting the underlying myofunctional habits that contribute to malocclusion instead of just realigning teeth like traditional braces.
Who can benefit?: Children with developing dental and jaw alignment issues can benefit most.
Top benefits: It helps correct poor oral habits, guides proper jaw development, and can improve overall dental health while potentially reducing the need for future orthodontic treatment.
Considerations: Myobrace is best suited to children aged 3 to 15.

Orthodontic Treatment for Adults
Do you worry that you are too old to straighten your teeth? Or are you concerned that your teeth and jaw shape affect your health? Did you know that narrow jaw arches can cause breathing problems and sleep disorders?

We want you to know that a straight, healthy, beautiful smile is within your reach – no matter your age. Our dentist offers a number of orthodontic treatments and is happy to help you find the one that matches your personal needs and desires.
Treatment for Teenagers
Orthodontic treatment for teenagers is also available at our comfortable, friendly practice. We can help you find the orthodontic solution that fits your needs, ensuring our teenage patients achieve straight, beautiful smiles with the right orthodontic services designed around their active lifestyles.
There are several benefits to addressing orthodontic needs during the teen years rather than putting off treatment until later. These benefits often include:
- Flexible bones, hence shortened treatment time
- Reduced need for tooth extraction
- The ability to preserve space for any teeth and provide room for crowded, erupting teeth
- Restored facial symmetry and aesthetics by stimulating jaw growth
Early Child Orthodontics
When required, Excellence in Dentistry provides early orthodontic care for children, which helps monitor the growth and development of the teeth and jaw. Early evaluation helps to determine if and when your child will need orthodontic treatments.
The childhood and teenage years are a great time for orthodontic treatment. We recommend that a child receive their first orthodontic screening by the age of eight years, and we encourage you to bring your child to our Brisbane CBD dental practice to evaluate their potential need for such orthodontic treatment.
Early treatment can often detect and correct potential problems before they become more serious, saving you and your child time and money.
Advantages of Early Orthodontic Treatment
Because a young child’s teeth have not finished erupting, we can address any problems at the earliest possible stage. Whether your child needs removable or fixed appliances, early orthodontic treatment can help to:
- Provide more room for crowded erupting teeth
- Preserve space for teeth that have not yet erupted
- Create facial symmetry by manipulating jaw growth
- Reduce the possible need for tooth extraction
- Reduce the overall treatment time
When you bring your child to our practice, our dentist will be able to determine whether treatment is needed and when it should begin. If early orthodontic treatment is needed, we will create a personalised treatment plan for optimal results. For more information and to set up your child’s orthodontic consultation at our office, we invite you to call or visit today!
What to Expect At Your First Appointment
During your first consultation, we will discuss with you your potential treatment options, and go over the pros and cons of each option so that you can make an informed decision about your orthodontic care. We can then determine the appropriate time to commence your treatment plan.
Following your appointment, we will provide you with a complete clinical diagnosis and our findings, and a detailed plan outlining your treatment, goals, and the estimated cost of your treatment.
