ORTHODONTICS MELBOURNE
A confident smile unlocks potential. At The Point Dental, our expert orthodontists specialise in creating functional, healthy, and radiant smiles that empower you to live fully—whether you’re laughing with friends, enjoying meals, or chasing your dreams.
Malocclusions, overcrowding, and misaligned teeth don’t just affect how you look—they can lead to oral hygiene challenges, increased decay risk, and even speech difficulties. We address these issues holistically, combining advanced techniques with a patient-first approach to ensure your smile thrives for years to come. In addition, for some conditions, you can claim the Medicare orthodontics rebate.
Braces We Provide at The Point Dental Melbourne
At The Point Dental, we offer several transformative orthodontic solutions:
Traditional Metal Braces
Stainless steel brackets and wires deliver precise, gentle pressure to correct complex misalignments. Customisable with coloured bands, they’re perfect for severe cases needing surgical-grade precision.
Ceramic Braces
Tooth-coloured brackets and wires blend with your smile for a subtler appearance. Effective for moderate-to-severe alignment issues, they’re favoured by adults seeking discreet treatment.
Lingual Braces
Custom-made metal brackets and wires are bonded to the back of teeth, rendering them nearly invisible. These are perfect for those in the public eye or who rely on their appearance for work.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Removable, transparent trays gradually shift teeth for mild-to-moderate cases. Invisalign is popular with teenagers and offers flexibility for busy lifestyles with minimal visual impact during treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer orthodontic treatments directly?
Yes! Our in-house orthodontists provide comprehensive care, including braces and clear aligners, so you can enjoy seamless treatment without multiple providers.

Most cases take 18–24 months, but we’ll create a timeline tailored to your needs.
Can you handle emergencies?
Absolutely. We provide immediate assistance and adjust treatment plans to address urgent issues quickly.
Are braces covered by Medicare?
Yes, braces can be covered if you suffer from specific conditions; however, check your private health insurance for potential coverage and ask us about flexible payment plans.
What is Invisalign, and how does it compare to traditional braces?
Invisalign is a clear aligner system designed to straighten teeth discreetly, using removable plastic trays instead of fixed metal brackets and wires. It is more comfortable, less noticeable, and easier to maintain than traditional braces.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Invisalign treatment typically takes 6 to 18 months, depending on the complexity of the case and the patient’s adherence to wearing the aligners for the recommended 22 hours daily.
Can adults get Invisalign?
Yes, Invisalign is an excellent option for adults seeking a discreet way to straighten their teeth. The treatment is effective for both adults and children, with similar timelines for results.
Does Invisalign hurt?
Invisalign is generally more comfortable than traditional braces, but mild discomfort or pressure may occur, especially when switching to new aligners. This sensation typically subsides within a few days as your teeth adjust.
Will I need to wear a retainer after Invisalign?
Yes, retainers are essential after Invisalign treatment to prevent teeth from shifting back to their original positions.
