The approach

Orthodontics is about more than appearance — well-aligned teeth can be easier to clean, and a comfortable bite supports long-term oral health.

At Norlane Dental Aesthetics & Implants, we provide considered orthodontic care for irregular bites and jaw alignment. During treatment, our focus is on keeping you as comfortable as possible and explaining each stage clearly. Many people feel more confident in their smile once treatment is complete — individual experiences and outcomes vary, and any treatment is decided after a clinical assessment.

We offer a range of options — including traditional metal braces, ceramic (clear) braces, and Invisalign® clear aligners — and discuss which may be suitable for you. You can also read more about orthodontics at our practice or retainers for after treatment.

Orthodontic care
Who it's for

Orthodontic care at every stage.

Assessed individually
There is no single right age to begin. An assessment reviews how the teeth and jaw are developing — it does not always mean treatment is needed.
From age 7
Children
Braces for children

By around age seven, most children have a mix of baby and adult teeth, which can make it easier to review tooth and jaw alignment at an earlier stage. An early assessment may help your dentist:

  • Support healthy jaw growth so adult teeth have room to come through
  • Guide the width of the upper and lower arches
  • Create more space where teeth are crowded
  • May reduce the likelihood of adult-tooth extractions later
  • Help address habits such as thumb-sucking and minor speech concerns
Teen years
Teenagers
Braces for teenagers

Crooked or crowded teeth can affect a teenager's confidence. Our team offers orthodontic options for teens designed to support healthy, comfortable smiles. Suitability and treatment time are individual and discussed at consultation.

  • A range of brace and aligner options
  • Care designed around school and routine
  • Clear guidance on looking after braces
Any age
Adults
Braces for adults

Orthodontics is not just for teenagers. Many adults choose treatment to support their oral health and feel good about their smile. Common reasons adults consider orthodontic care include:

  • A bite where the teeth do not fit together evenly
  • Crowded or widely spaced teeth
  • Jaw discomfort or pressure that may relate to alignment
  • A wish to support a healthier mouth and a smile they're comfortable with
Early assessment can support a child's long-term oral health, and adults can benefit from treatment too. Suitability depends on an individual clinical assessment, and outcomes vary between patients.

The options

A few ways to straighten teeth.

Norlane Dental Aesthetics and Implants offers a variety of braces, types, and styles, to choose from.

Some common teeth straightening options include:

Discussed at consultation
Modern orthodontics is more comfortable and discreet than in the past. Which option may suit you is decided after a clinical assessment.
Traditional
Metal braces
Conventional fixed braces using metal brackets and wires. A well-established, versatile option for a wide range of orthodontic concerns across all ages.
Discreet
Ceramic (clear) braces
Fixed braces using tooth-coloured ceramic brackets that are less noticeable than metal. A more discreet option for suitable patients who prefer fixed treatment.
Removable
Invisalign® aligners
A series of clear, removable aligners worn over the teeth. Suitability for clear aligners is determined by clinical assessment. Learn more about Invisalign®.
Orthodontic braces play an essential role in the lives of many people. While braces may have had a bad reputation in the past, modern dental advances make it easy to look good and feel good! Contact us to schedule your orthodontic check-up.
