We understand how important it is for you and/or your children to feel comfortable in their smiles – not only in terms of aesthetic appearance but also for optimal functionality in the jaw and teeth.
By straightening your teeth through orthodontic treatment such as braces, you significantly reduce the chances of jaw and oral health problems such as tooth decay, premature wear of teeth, jaw pain, gum disease, and more. This is simply due to the fact that straighter teeth are much easier to clean and maintain – which preserves the health of your teeth and jaw for longer!
The Orthodontic Place in Adelaide provides traditional metal braces, clear ceramic braces, as well as a range of other orthodontic treatments that can be tailored to your individual situation. Regardless of how unique or complex your teeth alignment issues may be, our lead orthodontic Dr Sara Dudley and professional dental team are here to help create the best braces treatment plan for you.

Traditional Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces are the most common type of braces and are more comfortable today than ever before.
Made of high-grade stainless steel, metal braces straighten your teeth using metal brackets and archwires. Metal braces tend to be more cost effective and can be used to treat a range of teeth misalignment and other orthodontic issues. Metal braces are more durable as they can withstand more pressure than other forms of braces or orthodontic treatments. This means you’re less likely to experience breakage of the brackets and avoid extending the treatment time longer than it needs to be.
At The Orthodontic Place in Adelaide, we offer specialised orthodontic treatments in metal kids braces, teen braces, and adult braces. With metal braces, you have the option of adding coloured elastics (rubber bands) for a more unique and colourful smile.
Clear (Ceramic) Braces
Clear ceramic braces are made of clear materials and are therefore less visible on your teeth than metal braces.
For this reason, clear ceramic braces are used mainly on older teenagers and adult patients who have cosmetic concerns. Clear ceramic braces is a more aesthetic option to provide great results without the traditional look of metal braces. To learn more about clear ceramic braces treatment in Adelaide, we recommend getting in touch with our friendly staff and book a consultation at The Orthodontic Place today.
At The Orthodontic Place in Adelaide, we pair our expertise in braces treatments with supportive, family-oriented and warm service – ensuring you feel comfortable and happy every time you come into our clinics!
Kids Braces
When kids reach the age of around 7 years old, this is typically when crossbites, crowding and other problems can be seen and evaluated. Braces for kids (mini braces) are often required in cases where their misaligned teeth may be causing immediate functional problems and could potentially be harming their health.
However, we also offer removable appliances such as plates, functional appliances, and expanders as early forms of orthodontic treatment to lessen or eliminate the need for treatment later on. To find out whether kids braces (or mini braces) is right for your child, get in touch at our nearby clinics in Adelaide and we’ll be more than happy to assist you further.
Teenage Braces
Our Teenage braces treatments in Adelaide are among the most common orthodontic treatments we do, as this is when all the adult teeth have emerged and can be treated for alignment and correction. Our Teen braces treatment may also be used in conjunction with teeth appliances such as plates, functional appliances, and expanders for a better result.
Teens are often concerned about the appearance of braces, which is why we also provide clear braces (ceramic) as well as serial clear aligners such as Invisalign treatment as alternatives at our clinics in Adelaide. However, traditional metal braces continue to be the most common form of orthodontic braces as they’re more durable and have been improved over the years for a more comfortable feel.
Adult Braces
When it comes to achieving the perfect smile, we believe it’s never too late – especially as an adult! Adult braces can help with reducing the likelihood of tooth decay, wear of enamel, TMJ/TMD pain, and more.
At The Orthodontic Place, we offer tailored adult braces treatments for traditional metal, ceramic (clear), and Invisalign (invisible aligners). As an adult, you may be more concerned about the health of your teeth during your adult braces treatment, especially if you may have undergone other types of dental treatments previously that have impacted your teeth and oral health.
We assure with confidence that no matter what dental concerns you have, we’ll handle your treatment smoothly and ensure you’re more than happy with the end result.
