Adult Orthodontics
Orthodontic treatment isn’t just for children and teenagers anymore. In fact, more and more adults are discovering the benefits of straightening their teeth and improving their bite. Whether you missed out on braces as a teen or your teeth have shifted over time, Dr. Nerissa Green can help you achieve a smile that feels just as good as it looks.
According to the Australian Society of Orthodontists, one in five orthodontic patients is over the age of 21, and that number continues to grow. Adults understand the long-term value of investing in their dental health, appearance, and confidence.
Why Choose Adult Braces, Invisalign, or Alternative Clear Aligners
You might be considering orthodontics if you have:
A bad bite (malocclusion) that causes teeth to fit together improperly
Crowded or gapped teeth that make cleaning difficult, increasing the risk of tooth decay or gum disease
A desire for a healthier, more confident smile
No matter your reason, we’ll work with you to create a personalised plan that suits your goals and lifestyle.
Modern Teeth Straightening Options
We understand that many adults are hesitant about the idea of metal braces. Fortunately, today’s options are more discreet and comfortable than ever before. We offer:
Invisalign® and Invisalign alternative clear aligners – virtually invisible and removable
Clear braces – ceramic brackets that blend in with your smile
Traditional metal braces – reliable and now smaller, sleeker, and more effective
No matter which path you choose, your treatment will be customised to deliver the best possible results with minimal impact on your daily life.
Why Adult Orthodontics Is Worth the Investment
Healthier teeth and gums – Straight teeth are easier to brush and floss, which helps protect against tooth decay and gum disease
Boosted confidence – A well-aligned smile can make a real difference in both personal and professional settings
Prevention of bigger problems – Untreated misalignments can worsen over time, leading to costly dental issues
