Orthodontics is a specialised area of dentistry that focuses on correcting the alignment of teeth and jaws. At Orthodontix Northbridge, our aim is to help patients achieve a healthy bite and a confident smile.
No. You can book a consultation with Orthodontix directly without a referral from your dentist.
We recommend an initial assessment at around 7 years of age. Early visits allow us to identify growth or bite issues before they become more complex.
Yes. At Orthodontix, many of our patients are adults. Modern treatments such as clear aligners and ceramic braces mean straightening your smile can be discreet and comfortable at any age.
We provide a range of options, including metal braces, ceramic braces, self-ligating braces, Invisalign® clear aligners, and interceptive treatment for children.
Treatment time varies. For most patients, braces take 18–24 months, while aligners may be shorter for mild cases. The exact time depends on your needs and compliance.
Some mild discomfort is normal when braces are adjusted or new aligners are fitted. This usually settles within a few days.
Invisalign® uses clear, removable aligners custom-made for your teeth. They are discreet and convenient, making them a popular choice for teens and adults at Orthodontix Northbridge.
Yes. We offer ceramic braces that blend with your teeth, providing a more aesthetic alternative to traditional braces.
Self-ligating braces use clips instead of elastic bands to hold the wire, reducing friction and sometimes shortening appointment times.
Costs depend on the type of braces or aligners and the complexity of your case. We offer flexible, interest-free payment plans and complimentary smile assessments to help you get started.
Yes. Orthodontix provides flexible plans so treatment is accessible without upfront financial strain.
Yes. Retainers are essential to maintain your results. We supply and monitor retainers after every treatment.
At Orthodontix, your first visit includes X-rays, photographs, and an orthodontic assessment. We discuss your treatment options, timelines, and costs in detail.
Interceptive treatment helps guide jaw growth and make space for adult teeth in children. This can reduce the need for complex treatment later on.
Avoid sticky, chewy, or hard foods such as caramel, chewing gum, nuts, and popcorn. These can damage your braces.
Brush after every meal, floss daily, and use orthodontic tools provided. With aligners, remove them to eat, clean them daily, and always brush before putting them back in.
Call Orthodontix as soon as possible. In the meantime, use orthodontic wax to cover sharp edges and protect your mouth.
Coverage depends on your private health policy. Our team will provide item numbers and guidance to help you claim rebates if eligible.
We offer specialist orthodontists, modern treatments, personalised care, complimentary smile assessments, and flexible finance options—all designed to give you the best possible outcome.
