At Winthrop Orthodontic Centre, we offer a wide range of treatments, including traditional metal braces, clear ceramic braces, and Invisalign® clear aligners. Our team will assess your needs during your consultation to recommend the best treatment plan for you.
Treatment duration varies depending on your specific case, but most treatments last between 12 and 24 months. Complex cases may take longer. Your orthodontist will give you a more precise estimate after your initial consultation.
The Australian Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first orthodontic consultation around age 7. However, orthodontic treatment can be beneficial at any age, and we offer options for children, teens, and adults.
Some mild discomfort is common, especially after braces are adjusted or new aligners are fitted. However, this typically subsides within a few days and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.

Playing musical instruments like wind instruments may require a short adjustment period, but most patients can continue playing without significant issues.
