It’s never too late to straighten your teeth, improve your bite and feel genuinely confident in your smile.

Adult Orthodontics at B Orthodontics

Discreet Options.
Lasting Results.
Confidence at Any Age.

More adults than ever are choosing orthodontic treatment, and it’s easy to see why. Modern techniques, digital planning and near invisible appliances mean you can straighten your teeth comfortably and discreetly, without interrupting your professional or personal life. At B Orthodontics, a significant number of our patients are adults, and we’ve built our treatment approach around what busy, lifestyle-conscious patients genuinely need.

Whether you’re addressing an issue that was never treated in childhood, correcting teeth that have shifted over the years, or preparing for restorative dental work, our specialist team will recommend the option that delivers the best result with minimal disruption to your everyday routine.

Why Choose Adult Orthodontics?

Orthodontic treatment as an adult is about far more than aesthetics. Straight, well aligned teeth are healthier, easier to clean, and function better for the long term, reducing wear, strain and the need for costly dental work down the track. Common concerns we address in adult patients include:

Crowded or overlapping teeth that have become harder to clean over time
Gaps and spacing between teeth
Overbites, underbites and crossbites
Teeth that have shifted since earlier orthodontic treatment
Protruding or rotated teeth affecting your smile or bite
Uneven wear on the teeth caused by a misaligned bite
Jaw discomfort linked to bite imbalance
Alignment concerns ahead of restorative work such as crowns, bridges or implants

The Benefits of Adult Treatment

A confident smile. Feeling proud of your smile can have a genuine impact on how you present yourself socially and professionally.
Better oral health. Straighter teeth are simpler to brush and floss, lowering the long term risk of decay, gum disease and tooth loss.
Protection from wear. A balanced bite distributes forces evenly, helping to prevent chipping, cracking and premature wear.
Support for restorative dentistry. Correct tooth position creates the ideal foundation for crowns, veneers, bridges and implants.
Discreet treatment options. Clear ceramic braces and clear aligners make orthodontic treatment far less noticeable than it used to be.
Fewer long term dental costs. Addressing alignment now can reduce the need for more complex, expensive dental work later on.
Results that last a lifetime. With the right retention plan, your new smile can stay beautifully aligned for decades.

Confidence at Any Age

How Adult Orthodontics Works

At B Orthodontics, adult orthodontic care is built around three key elements:

A thorough diagnostic assessment, taking into account your dental history, existing restorations and long term goals
A discreet, lifestyle-appropriate treatment option, chosen to suit your appearance preferences, comfort and daily routine
Close collaboration with your general dentist, where restorative or cosmetic work is part of the overall plan

Depending on your case, treatment options for adults may include:

Metal braces. Modern metal braces are smaller, more comfortable and highly versatile, capable of correcting even complex cases efficiently and reliably.
Clear (ceramic) braces. Tooth coloured brackets blend in with natural tooth shades, offering the effectiveness of traditional braces with a far more discreet appearance.
Clear aligners. A near invisible, removable option ideal for adults who want a subtle treatment experience that fits easily around work, travel and social commitments.

Most adult treatments take between 12 and 24 months, although simpler cases can finish sooner and more complex cases may take longer.

5 Simple Steps

Your Treatment Journey

1

Initial Consultation

Your journey begins with a thorough, unhurried consultation. We’ll examine your teeth and bite, take digital photographs, and use a 3D intraoral scanner (and, where needed, X-rays) to build a complete picture of your orthodontic health. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of what’s possible and how we’d recommend achieving it.

2

Personalised Treatment Plan

Your orthodontist will design a plan tailored to your goals, clinical needs and lifestyle. This includes recommended appliance options, expected treatment duration, a transparent quote with interest free payment plans available, and coordination with your dentist if restorative work is part of the plan.

3

Fitting the Appliance

Whether you’ve chosen braces or clear aligners, we’ll use digital planning and precision bonding techniques to fit your appliance comfortably and accurately. You’ll receive clear guidance on care, what to expect in the first few days, and how to maintain excellent oral hygiene throughout treatment.

4

Regular Adjustments and Reviews

You’ll visit us every 6 to 10 weeks so we can monitor progress, make adjustments, and provide new aligners if needed. Appointments are kept short and we work hard to fit in around busy schedules, including early morning and after work options where available.

5

Completion and Retention

Once your teeth have reached their ideal positions, we’ll carefully remove your braces (or any aligner attachments), polish your teeth smooth, and fit retainers to protect your new smile. Retention is especially important for adults, and we’ll design a plan that keeps your results beautifully stable for the long term.
