At SmileBright Dental Sunnybank Hills, we provide orthodontic treatment designed to improve the alignment, function, and appearance of your smile.
Teeth and jaws function as a complete system. When teeth are crowded or misaligned, biting forces may not be distributed evenly throughout the mouth.
Orthodontic treatment aims to improve the position of the teeth and bite, helping create a healthier, more functional, and more balanced smile.
Fixed braces are orthodontic appliances that are attached to the teeth and gradually guide them into improved positions over time.
Modern braces are smaller, more comfortable, and more efficient than ever before.
Using carefully controlled forces, braces can move teeth into healthier positions while improving both function and aesthetics.
Fixed braces are capable of treating a wide range of orthodontic concerns, from simple crowding through to more complex bite corrections.
At SmileBright Dental, we are proud to offer a range of orthodontic treatment options including both clear aligner therapy and fixed braces.
Through continued education and professional development, several of our general practitioners have undertaken additional training in orthodontics, allowing them to provide orthodontic treatment for suitable patients within our practice.
Our long-term senior practitioner, Dr Nelson, has completed extensive education and training in fixed orthodontics and has helped many patients achieve beautiful, healthy smiles using modern braces techniques. His focus is not simply on straightening teeth, but on creating stable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing outcomes that support long-term oral health.
By offering both Invisalign clear aligners and fixed braces, we can tailor treatment recommendations to each patient’s individual needs, goals, lifestyle, and orthodontic requirements.
SmileBright Dental continually invests in advanced technology to improve patient experience and treatment outcomes.
Using our state-of-the-art iTero Lumina intra-oral scanner, we can capture highly detailed 3D digital models of your teeth and bite without the need for traditional impressions in many cases.
Our investment in technology reflects our commitment to providing exceptional care, improved comfort, and better outcomes for our patients.

A comprehensive orthodontic assessment is required to determine the most suitable treatment approach.
Orthodontic treatment begins with a detailed assessment of the teeth, jaws, bite, and overall oral health.
This information allows us to develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your orthodontic needs and treatment goals.
Not every orthodontic concern requires treatment. However, some alignment and bite problems may contribute to long-term oral health issues if left unmanaged.
Potential consequences may include:
Early assessment allows us to determine whether treatment may be beneficial.
An orthodontic assessment can help determine whether monitoring or treatment may be beneficial as the teeth develop.
Teeth can naturally shift throughout life. An assessment can determine whether orthodontic treatment may help improve alignment.
Orthodontic treatment is not limited to children and teenagers. Many adults successfully undergo orthodontic treatment to improve both function and appearance.
Our dentists can assess your smile and discuss the advantages and suitability of each treatment option.
Braces may cause mild pressure following adjustments, which is a normal part of tooth movement. Most patients adapt quickly.
Treatment time varies depending on the complexity of the case and the amount of tooth movement required.
Yes. Orthodontic treatment can be highly successful for adults as well as children and teenagers.
Neither treatment is universally better. The most appropriate option depends on the patient’s goals, lifestyle, and orthodontic needs.
