Braces can correct a wide range of orthodontic concerns, including:

Whether you’re a teenager starting treatment for the first time or an adult looking to perfect your smile, Dr Lipshatz will create a personalised treatment plan to suit your needs and goals.

Straightening your teeth does more than just improve your smile , it enhances your overall oral health and confidence.

While most children begin braces between 11 and 13 years old, we recommend an initial assessment around age 8–9.

Early evaluation allows us to identify developing issues and provide early intervention if necessary, helping prevent more complex treatment later.

The average treatment time with braces is around 18–24 months, depending on the complexity of your case and the type of braces used.

Every patient is different, but the result is always the same, a healthy, confident, long - lasting smile.

You will probably not feel too much for the first few hours after the braces have been placed. If you do experience discomfort, it will probably be during the first evening. Feelings of tension in the teeth may last anywhere from a day up to a week.

As with most things, patients experience a range of reactions . Some people go home and are fine to eat normal foods, while others prefer to eat softer foods like pasta and soup for several days.
If your teeth are feeling especially tender you can take pain relief such as Panadol or Neurofen. Chewing sugarless gum can often relieve some of the soreness.

Orthodontic treatment is a shared process. Dr Lipshatz and our team work closely with you throughout your care, with everyone playing an important role.

Between appointments, we rely on you to help maintain your oral health by brushing thoroughly and following the recommended care instructions for your appliances.
