The teenage years are the most typical time to start orthodontic treatment. At ORTHODONTIX we offer the latest treatment and technology options for your teenager. Making the experience less intrusive with more comfortable solutions.
Whether your teenager needs traditional metal braces, Invisalign® or a retainer, we’ll help you find the right treatment option through our personalised care plans.
Undergoing treatment during the teenage years reduces treatment time, improves results and minimises the need for further intervention in the future. Although everyone is different, treatment usually lasts from 12-18 months.
Around age 11 or 12, the final permanent teeth (except, in some cases, the third molars, or “wisdom teeth”) have erupted. This is the ideal stage of development to assess the alignment of the teeth accurately and identify any crooked teeth, gaps, or poor alignment.

Early Treatment
Early treatment has the best results. The Australian Society of Orthodontists (ASO) recommends kids see an orthodontist between the ages of six and eight. As an orthodontist on the Northern Beaches for 20 years, we know early detection and treatment to correct jaw growth and certain bite problems, such as underbite have better outcomes.
With advancements in orthodontic treatments, we’re helping more and more adults find solutions for oral problems they’ve had since they were children. In addition to Invisalign® Clear Teeth Aligners, we provide other orthodontic treatments.
