Having beautiful and straight teeth is not only for kids anymore.
Orthodontic treatment has become popular for people of all ages.
We offer a variety of orthodontic options to best fit your lifestyle and personal needs.
Traditional Braces/Conventional Braces
Traditional braces consist of standard metal brackets that are placed on your teeth with an adhesive and connected by a wire. It is the most effective and least expensive orthodontic option that suits all patients with various problems. With advancements in dental technology, traditional braces are now smaller and more comfortable. To enhance the cosmetic experience of patients who desire ‘invisible treatment’, we have incorporated tooth-coloured brackets and aesthetic wires as well. We also offer coloured bands to give kids a chance to express themselves.
Invisalign
As an alternative to traditional braces, Invisalign uses a series of custom-made and mouth guard-like clear aligners to gradually adjust your teeth. The aligners are removable and are normally replaced every 2 weeks. Invisalign does not work for serious dental problems and is more expensive compared to traditional braces. However, if you are a suitable candidate for Invisalign treatment, you will love the freedom to enjoy your favourite food and smile confidently whenever you want!
ClearCorrect
ClearCorrect treatment works very similar to Invisalign. It also consists of a series of clear and removable aligners that adjust your teeth gradually. However, as a younger company on the market, ClearCorrect treatment is generally more affordable than Invisalign.
For people whose problems are complex, we will arrange a referral to you to a trusted specialist orthodontist.
At Knoxfield Dental Care, we offer a free consultation and interest-free payment plan for all orthodontic patients! Call us on 03 9763 3339 to book your free consultation today!

What are traditional braces and are they still a good option?
Traditional braces use metal brackets bonded to your teeth connected by a wire that gradually moves teeth into alignment. They are the most effective and cost-efficient orthodontic option, suitable for a wide range of problems. Modern braces are smaller and more comfortable than ever. We also offer tooth-coloured brackets, aesthetic wires and coloured bands for children.
What is Invisalign and how does it work?
Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, removable clear aligner trays to gradually straighten teeth, replaced approximately every two weeks. Because they are removable, you can eat freely and maintain normal oral hygiene. Invisalign is best suited to mild to moderate cases.
What is ClearCorrect and how is it different from Invisalign?
ClearCorrect is a clear aligner system that works similarly to Invisalign — using removable, transparent aligners to gradually reposition teeth. As a newer brand, ClearCorrect is generally more affordable than Invisalign while delivering comparable results for suitable cases.
Is orthodontic treatment available for adults?
Yes. We offer braces, Invisalign and ClearCorrect for adults of all ages. Whether correcting long-standing alignment issues or improving your smile, we have an option to suit your lifestyle and budget.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
Traditional braces typically take 18 months to 3 years. Invisalign and ClearCorrect for mild to moderate cases may be completed in 6 to 18 months. Your dentist will provide a personalised timeline at your free consultation.
Do you offer payment plans for braces or Invisalign?
Yes. Knoxfield Dental Care offers interest-free payment plans for all orthodontic patients, allowing you to spread the cost of treatment at no extra charge. Ask our team about payment options when you call or at your free consultation.
What is the difference between a dentist and orthodontist for teeth straightening?
A general dentist with orthodontic training can treat mild to moderate alignment cases in-house. An orthodontist is a specialist with additional postgraduate training in tooth and jaw alignment. We treat a wide range of cases directly and refer complex cases to a trusted specialist orthodontist.
