Why Consider Orthodontic Treatment?
There are plenty of reasons to explore orthodontic treatment beyond just physical appearance. Straight teeth are easier to clean, less likely to get cavities, and help you avoid issues like jaw pain or uneven wear over time.
Some other benefits of orthodontics include:
- Easier oral hygiene – Straight teeth allow for better brushing and flossing
- Reduced risk of cavities – Crowded or overlapping teeth can trap food and bacteria which increases your risk of cavities down the line
- Lower chance of gum issues – Well-aligned teeth support healthier gums
- Less wear and tear – Misaligned bites can cause teeth to wear down unevenly
- More confidence – A straighter smile can make you feel more confident in yourself

Orthodontics FAQs
Generally we recommend starting braces when you have all your adult teeth, which is around 12 years old. We may need to see you earlier for adjunctive orthodontic treatment.
We offer a range of orthodontic treatments to suit your lifestyle, budget, and smile goals. Whether you prefer more discreet options or you’re happy with traditional methods, we’ll work with you to create a treatment plan that feels right for you.
- Traditional Braces
The classic and reliable choice that everyone pictures when they think of braces. Modern metal braces have come a long way, they are more comfortable and less bulky than ever before. They offer precise control over tooth movement and are great for complex cases.
- Clear Aligners
For those wanting a more subtle solution, we offer a variety of clear aligners:
- Invisalign
- Angel Align
- ClearCorrect
These removable, virtually invisible trays make it easier to maintain your oral hygiene while straightening your teeth over time.
Treatment length varies depending on your case, but most patients complete their treatment within 12–24 months.
Orthodontic treatment works by applying gentle, consistent pressure to your teeth to gradually shift them into their correct positions. Depending on your case, this can be done through:
- Fixed braces (with brackets and wires)
- Clear aligner systems (custom trays you wear and replace over time)
Our intra-oral scanner eliminates the need for messy moulds. With digital scans, we’re able to deliver faster, more accurate results for a much more comfortable experience for you.
You may feel mild pressure or discomfort after adjustments or when switching to a new aligner. This is normal and a sign that your treatment is working and your teeth are moving into place.
With traditional braces, appointments are usually every 4–6 weeks. For clear aligners, check-ins may be less frequent but equally important to track your progress.
- Teens – The ideal time for most orthodontic work is when permanent teeth have settled in, normally around the age of 12.
- Adults – It's never too late! Modern options like clear aligners make treatment discreet and effective to minimise any disruptions to your life.
If you’ve been putting off orthodontic treatment because you think it’s too late, think again. Many of our adult patients wish they’d done it sooner!

I've have been a long standing patient of the Mitcham Dental Clinic and there's a reason for that. From the greeting the moment you walk in the door, to the service and care you receive whilst being tended to; the experience is nothing short of amazing. The front of house staff make the experience painless and pleasant; they're attentive and go beyond the extra steps to accommodate your needs. I would strongly recommend this dental clinic for anyone looking for a caring, sensitive and attentive care from the moment you first attend, to every experience that you have with them. Thanks to all at the Mitcham Dental Clinic, Tim

Have been going to Ron and his colleagues at Mitcham Dental for 20 years - even now that I live on the other side of town. Excellent caring dental care. Highly recommend this dental practice.

Brilliant , had a broken tooth, extremely sore at 0700am on a Friday, not a shock that there was no answer. I took that what I thought was a long shot by contacting them on Facebook messenger. To my shock I got a message back within minutes and then got a call from Bianca booking me in at 0930am the same day. Brilliant.

Have to update my post - seriously, Dr Ron and the team are just absolutely amazing. This is coming from someone that's just walked out of a root canal - with zero discomfort, zero pain. Seeing Dr Ron has taught me one thing - going to the dentist doesn't have to be a painful and terrifying experience - it's all about patient comfort (and obviously tooth care). Just brilliant! Original post: Amazing all around service. Dr Ron and his staff are wonder workers - they're all about putting patients at ease - talking through procedures, getting the time to know you as a patient (I'm one of those people that don't really love visiting the dentist) - but they all are there to help you through the process - it's actually awesome - turning my experiences there into a pain and stress free procedure. Also, while I was waiting (and they did it for me too), I saw the reception staff with the patients leaving - they actually sat down and worked out the best possible way to pay - i.e. how to minimise the customers cost. If I could give them 10 stars, I would!
