You’re never too old to straighten your smile - and if you have healthy teeth and gums, orthodontic treatment is absolutely possible. At Frankston Orthodontics, we offer a range of discreet options for adults, including clear aligners and braces, tailored to suit your goals, lifestyle, and budget. Whether you're after a subtle tweak or a full transformation, our experienced team in south east Melbourne is here to help you achieve a confident, healthy smile.

Why start orthodontic treatment as an adult?

Orthodontic treatment isn’t just about achieving a straighter smile - it can have real benefits for your overall health and wellbeing. Many adults choose treatment to help relieve issues like jaw discomfort (TMJ), difficulty chewing, speech challenges, or even disrupted breathing. Straighter teeth are also easier to clean, which can reduce the risk of gum disease and tooth decay. Plus, correcting your bite can prevent uneven wear, reduce strain on your teeth and jaws, and help protect against future dental problems.

At Frankston Orthodontics, we’ll work with you to create a treatment plan that not only enhances your smile but supports your long-term oral health too.

Braces for adults

Braces are still one of the most effective ways to achieve a beautifully aligned smile - and today’s options are more discreet, comfortable, and efficient than ever. At Frankston Orthodontics, we offer several braces for adults, tailored to suit your lifestyle, goals, and treatment needs.

SureSmile braces:

SureSmile braces combine traditional brackets with advanced digital technology for faster, more accurate results. Each wire is custom-bent by robotic systems based on a detailed 3D scan of your smile -reducing manual adjustments and shortening treatment time by up to 30%.

Metal braces:

Modern metal braces are smaller, smoother, and more comfortable than the ones you may remember. They’re a reliable and budget-friendly choice for adults seeking efficient, no-fuss treatment with excellent results.

Clear ceramic braces:

Clear braces use tooth-coloured or translucent brackets to blend in with your smile. They're a popular choice among adults who want the effectiveness of fixed braces with a more subtle, low-profile look.

Clear aligners for adults

Clear aligners are a discreet, flexible way to straighten your teeth - without the look or feel of traditional braces. At Frankston Orthodontics, we offer two leading clear aligner systems for adults, designed to suit your lifestyle and treatment needs.

Invisalign^®: Invisalign^® uses a series of virtually invisible, custom-made aligners to gently move your teeth into place. You can remove them to eat, brush, and attend important events - making them a popular choice for adults who want treatment that fits seamlessly into daily life.

SureSmile aligners: SureSmile aligners combine clear, removable trays with advanced digital planning to deliver up to 30% faster results. Each aligner is precisely designed using 3D imaging technology, offering an efficient, comfortable experience with fewer refinements and visits.

Braces or clear aligners: which is right for me?

Both braces and clear aligners are excellent options for straightening adult smiles - the right choice depends on your lifestyle, treatment goals, and personal preferences.

Braces for adults (including metal, clear, or SureSmile^®) are ideal for more complex cases, offering powerful results with minimal daily maintenance. They’re fixed in place, so you don’t have to think about taking them in or out.

Clear aligners for adults (like Invisalign^® or SureSmile^® Aligners) offer a more flexible and discreet solution. They’re removable, nearly invisible, and a popular choice for adults with busy schedules who want minimal disruption to daily life.

Make the right choice for your smile

As an adult, choosing the right orthodontic treatment can feel like a big decision - but you don’t have to make it alone. Whether you're considering braces or clear aligners, our team in south east Melbourne will guide you toward the best option for your goals, lifestyle, and confidence.
