Orthodontic Care for Every Age

Not Sure Which Treatment
is Right for You?

We begin every journey with a comprehensive orthodontic consultation, including digital scans, photos, x-rays, and a detailed treatment plan. Whether you’re a parent, teen, or adult, we’ll guide you through the best options for your smile.

Invisalign & Clear Aligners

Virtually invisible, removable for meals and brushing, and comfortable BPA-free plastic, our clear aligners are ideal for mild to moderate corrections. Using advanced digital scanning, our team ensures your aligners fit seamlessly into your daily life - no wires, no brackets.

Braces for Teens

Teenage years are the perfect time to straighten teeth and correct bite issues. At Smiles for Life, we offer a range of braces designed to suit every teen’s lifestyle - from bold and fun to subtle and discreet.

Orthognathic Surgery

Some orthodontic issues may require jaw surgery to achieve the best results. If surgery is recommended, we collaborate with only the most reputable Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons in Victoria to ensure optimal outcomes. Surgery is usually performed once facial growth is complete.

We provide orthodontic care for patients of all ages. Whether it’s your child’s first orthodontic visit or you’re finally ready to perfect your own smile, our team is here to guide you every step of the way.

Jeff Lipshatz Orthodontics is a very popular practice for adult orthodontics

People who undertake Orthodontic treatment as adults understand that you are never too old to have a beautiful smile. Adults take pride in their hair, skin, attire and general appearance, so why not maximise their best asset – their smile!

Adult patients can be treated with standard braces or Invisalign. More information about this type of treatment is available on the Invisalign page of this website.

Another very popular option with adults is having “clear braces” which are conventional braces, but the front brackets are ceramic instead of metal, making them almost impossible to see. Many adults are happy to undergo treatment with this “invisible option” and get the beautiful smile they have always wanted.

Creating a beautiful smile, is an investment for life, and benefits of orthodontics include:
• Improved facial profile
• Better dental function, and
• Increased self esteem.

No referral from a dentist is required, however in the interest of your overall dental and oral health,
Dr Lipshatz likes to maintain communication with your family dentist throughout treatment.

The duration of orthodontic treatment can vary depending on individual needs and the complexity of each case.

Traditional braces generally take around two years, though this may be shorter or longer depending on the specific treatment plan.

Invisalign® treatment typically ranges from 18 to 24 months, with each aligner stage carefully planned to guide teeth into their new positions.

Dr. Jeff Lipshatz will provide a personalised estimate of treatment length during your consultation and will monitor progress throughout to help ensure effective results.

Our friendly reception staff will do whatever they can to help with flexible payment plans and maximising private health care rebates.
We offer discounts to family members and often have the privilege of treating children and their parents simultaneously.

We strive to make your orthodontic
experience an enjoyable one!

We have created a practice environment that is comfortable, welcoming and well suited to adult patients. Our clinic is supported by a friendly and experienced team who understand that orthodontic treatment is a personal journey and often fits around busy work and family lives.

Several members of our team are currently undergoing orthodontic treatment, or have completed treatment themselves, which helps us provide care with empathy and understanding.

Our approach is warm, respectful and professional. We encourage patients to feel informed and confident in their treatment decisions, with clear explanations provided at each stage of care. We take the time to explain treatment options, expected progress and how to care for your teeth and orthodontic appliances throughout treatment.

If questions arise between appointments, our team is always available by phone to offer guidance and support.

Adult orthodontics is an area of strong interest for Dr Lipshatz, and our team values the positive impact orthodontic treatment can have on confidence, comfort and long-term oral health.
