It is never too late to improve your best asset. Braces are not just for kids anymore.

Today, Orthodontic treatment is a viable option for almost any adult. Orthodontics can restore good function as well as enhancing the health and appearance of your smile. A healthy, beautiful smile can improve self-esteem, confidence and self-image – important qualities at every age.

Approximately, one in five orthodontic patients is an adult and this number is continuing to grow. You will be pleased to learn that Orthodontic treatment will fit in with your current lifestyle – you can sing, play a musical instrument, dine out, kiss, and even have your picture taken! And today with the continual developments in Orthodontic treatment, you will not be stuck with a ‘metal mouth’. At Victoria Park Dental Specialists we have a range of aesthetic Orthodontic treatment and service options available, from Modern Braces to Aesthetic Braces and Invisible Aligners.

There are a few minor differences between Orthodontic treatment for adults and children. The main difference is that it does take longer. As you get older, healing takes more time. As a result, we need to be much gentler with your treatment. We can still move your teeth to the optimal position; however, we need to allow more time between tightening appointments to ensure healing occurs to the optimal level.
