Straightening and Correcting Misaligned Teeth

At A1 Dental, we believe that a beautiful smile is not only visually appealing but also crucial for your oral health. Our orthodontic treatments focus on diagnosing, preventing, and correcting dental and facial irregularities to improve the alignment of your teeth and jaw.

Whether you need braces or clear aligners, our team of highly skilled clinicians is dedicated to helping you achieve the smile you deserve.

What is Orthodontics?

Orthodontics is a specialised field of dentistry that addresses irregularities in tooth and jaw alignment. It focuses on straightening misaligned teeth and correcting bite issues to enhance both visual aesthetics and overall oral health.

Orthodontic treatment can lead to improved chewing efficiency, reduced risk of dental problems, and increased self-confidence.

Our Orthodontic Solutions

Traditional Braces

We offer time-tested traditional braces, consisting of metal brackets and wires, to gradually move teeth into their desired positions. Traditional braces are effective for correcting a wide range of orthodontic issues.

Clear Aligners

For a more discreet option, we provide clear aligners, such as Invisalign. These transparent, removable aligners gently shift teeth without the need for metal brackets or wires, allowing for a virtually invisible treatment process.

Early Assessment and Palatal Expanders

We proactively endorse early assessments of your child’s growth to identify potential orthodontic issues at an early stage.

In some cases, dental appliances like palatal expanders can be used to correct crossbites and malocclusions. A palatal expander is a device attached to the upper molars, consisting of a metal framework with a central screw.

By turning the screw using a special key, the expander gradually widens the upper jaw, creating more space in the mouth and simplifying future orthodontic treatment.

Virtual Check-In Appointments

We understand the value of your time and convenience. For certain orthodontic treatments, we offer virtual check-in appointments through our Dental Monitoring app.

With this innovative technology, you can have some appointments from the comfort of your own home, saving you unnecessary visits to the clinic while still receiving personalised care and support.

Comprehensive Consultations and Modern Techniques

At A1 Dental, we believe in patient-centred care. Before starting any orthodontic treatment, we conduct comprehensive consultations with our highly experienced clinicians.

During these consultations, we will discuss and explain the recommended treatment plan, associated costs, and any potential risks involved, ensuring you are well-informed and comfortable throughout the process.

We employ modern orthodontic techniques to enhance your experience and results. With our advanced technology and treatment methods, you can expect faster healing times and less discomfort during your orthodontic journey.

Flexible Payment Plans

We understand the financial considerations of orthodontic treatment and aim to make it accessible to everyone. To accommodate your budget, we offer convenient payment plans through Afterpay, HUMM, and ZipMoney, allowing you to achieve the smile of your dreams without financial stress.
