Fixed braces remain one of the most effective and trusted orthodontic solutions for adults seeking real, lasting results. Once gently attached to your teeth, they work continuously, guiding each tooth into its perfect position while you go about your busy life, helping you achieve that beautifully aligned smile you’ve always wanted. 

How do fixed braces work for adults? 

Fixed braces use small, sophisticated attachments called brackets, which are carefully bonded to your teeth. These brackets connect via a thin, precision wire that applies gentle, consistent pressure to gradually shift your teeth into ideal alignment.

  • Continuous, controlled movement of each tooth, meaning no hassle
  • Highly effective for both simple corrections and complex cases
  • Reliable results you can count on, perfect for your professional life

FAQ:

It’s never too late to improve your smile. Adult braces are highly effective at correcting alignment, bite issues and crowding, even later in life. With advances in orthodontic technology, treatment is now more comfortable and discreet than ever.

Adults often choose between traditional metal braces, ceramic (tooth-coloured) braces, or clear aligners. Your orthodontist will help you decide based on your needs, lifestyle and aesthetic preferences.

Adults may have more complex dental conditions (like bone loss, missing teeth, or prior dental work) that require a tailored approach. The right orthodontic specialist brings together extensive experience with that special ability to make you feel comfortable from day one. 

Some health funds do offer rebates for adult orthodontic treatment, depending on your level of extras cover. Our team can help you check your entitlements and payment plan options.
