At Riversdale Orthodontics, we provide expert orthodontic treatment in Melbourne, helping patients of all ages achieve straight, healthy smiles.

With decades of experience, cutting-edge technology, and a patient-first approach, we’re here to make your orthodontic journey smooth, effective, and comfortable.

What Is Orthodontics?

Orthodontics is a specialised field of dentistry focused on correcting misaligned teeth and bite issues. Properly aligned teeth improve your smile and enhance oral health by making it easier to maintain good hygiene, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.

Our treatments help correct:

  • Crowded or overlapping teeth
  • Gaps and spacing issues
  • Overbites, underbites, and crossbites
  • Jaw alignment problems

We use advanced techniques at Riversdale Orthodontics to ensure efficient, comfortable, and highly effective treatment.

Who Can Benefit from Orthodontic Treatment?

Orthodontic care isn’t just for children or teenagers—people of all ages can benefit from straighter teeth and a healthier bite.

Children & Teens

Early intervention can help guide proper dental development and prevent complex issues later.

Adults

It’s never too late to achieve a confident smile. Many adults seek orthodontic treatment in Melbourne for cosmetic and functional improvements.

We offer a variety of solutions, from traditional Melbourne braces to discreet options like Invisalign® and lingual braces, ensuring treatment fits your lifestyle.

Invisalign®: The Clear Alternative to Braces

For those looking for a nearly invisible option, Invisalign® offers a comfortable and removable way to straighten teeth. Custom-made, clear aligners gradually shift teeth into place without brackets or wires.

  • Virtually invisible: Ideal for professionals and adults.
  • Removable: Eat and brush your teeth without restrictions.
  • Comfortable: No metal wires or brackets.

Lingual Braces: Hidden Behind the Teeth

For patients seeking complete discretion, lingual braces are placed on the inside of the teeth, making them completely hidden from view. They provide the same effective results as traditional braces while remaining unnoticed.

  • Invisible from the front
  • Custom-fit for each patient
  • Great for professionals and public-facing individuals

Early Orthodontic Treatment for Children

Interceptive orthodontics can prevent more serious dental issues later in life. Early assessment (around age 7) allows us to guide jaw development and tooth alignment, potentially reducing the need for future extractions or complex treatments.

  • Helps guide proper jaw and dental development
  • Reduces the risk of severe crowding
  • Can shorten treatment time in teenage years
