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 ā Straight teeth allow for better brushing and flossing
- Reduced risk of cavities ā Crowded or overlapping teeth can trap food and bacteria which increases your risk of cavities down the line
- Lower chance of gum issues ā Well-aligned teeth support healthier gums
- Less wear and tear ā Misaligned bites can cause teeth to wear down unevenly
- More confidence ā 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 youāre happy with traditional methods, weāll work with you to create a treatment plan that feels right for you.Ā
- 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 12ā24 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, weāre 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 4ā6 weeks. For clear aligners, check-ins may be less frequent but equally important to track your progress.
- Teens ā The ideal time for most orthodontic work is when permanent teeth have settled in, normally around the age of 12.
- Adults ā It's never too late! Modern options like clear aligners make treatment discreet and effective to minimise any disruptions to your life.
If youāve been putting off orthodontic treatment because you think itās too late, think again. Many of our adult patients wish theyād done it sooner!Ā

I very rarely leave reviews, but this is warranted. Iām a very nervous patient when it comes to sitting in a dental chair, however from the moment I walked in to make an appointment and explained my situation I was made to feel relaxed. Dr Jia Leong made the experience actually quite enjoyable. She is very thorough, patient and professional. This is a very modern, fully equipped dental surgery you should not look past. And again, if you are nervous, Dr Leong and Mitcham dental clinic is the clinic for you.

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.
