Braces are an orthodontic appliance used to gradually move teeth and correct bite alignment. They apply gentle, consistent pressure over time to reposition teeth into a more functional and comfortable position. At selected Primary Dental centres, dentists offering orthodontic treatment assess tooth alignment, bite relationship, jaw development and overall oral health to determine whether braces are a suitable treatment option. A personalised treatment plan is developed before any treatment begins.
Following an orthodontic assessment, which may include X-rays, photos and scans or impressions, a personalised plan is developed, including the type of braces recommended, an estimated treatment duration, estimated costs, and a clear explanation of what to expect at each stage.
2. Fitting your braces
Braces are fitted to the tooth surfaces and adjusted to begin the alignment process. Detailed instructions on cleaning, eating, and day-to-day management are provided at this stage.
3. Ongoing adjustments
Regular appointments are scheduled throughout treatment to make adjustments and monitor progress. Consistent attendance supports the treatment plan staying on track.
4. Retention following treatment
Once active orthodontic treatment is complete, a retainer is typically provided to maintain tooth position and support long-term results.
Dedicated dental practitioners, focused on your oral health and smile
Dentists at Primary Dental centres offering orthodontic treatment assess tooth alignment, bite and suitability for braces. Patients receive clear advice on treatment options, expected duration, care during treatment and retention.

I’ve been to many dental centres in Sydney and I must say this is one of the best dental service I’ve experienced. The location is so convenient, only 2 min walk from Town Hall. Staffs are supper friendly and gentle. They also offer very affordable price and you can pay with afferpay or zippay, which is amazing! Will definitely be back!

I do enjoy the friendly and helpful staff, it’s makes all the difference. I will be the first to admit the dentist is my least favourite place to go however after my first visit for a general check up, I felt very confident and pleased with my appointment from Dr Brett Moore. He is compassionate and caring :)

Braces may be suitable for both children and adults. The timing depends on dental development and individual clinical factors. A consultation will help determine whether treatment is appropriate and when to begin.
How long does orthodontic treatment with braces take?
Treatment duration varies depending on the complexity of alignment and how closely care instructions are followed during treatment. Your dental professional will provide an estimated timeframe during the treatment planning stage.
Are braces uncomfortable?
Some pressure or mild discomfort is common after fitting and following adjustment appointments. This typically settles within a few days. Your dental team will provide guidance on managing any discomfort.
What foods should I avoid with braces?
Certain foods may need to be avoided during orthodontic treatment, including hard, sticky, or chewy foods that can damage wires or brackets. Detailed dietary guidance will be provided at the time of fitting.
Will I need a retainer after braces?
Yes. A retainer is a standard part of orthodontic treatment and is important for maintaining the position of your teeth once active treatment is complete. Your dental professional will advise on the type and wearing schedule recommended for your case.
