Misaligned teeth affect more than appearance. Crowding, spacing issues, and bite problems can impact your oral health and how you clean your teeth day to day. At Crown Dental Group in Narre Warren South, our team offers orthodontic treatment for adults and children, tailored to your individual needs.
Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry focused on diagnosing and correcting misaligned teeth and jaws. Treatment works by applying gentle, consistent pressure to move teeth into a better position over time. Common concerns addressed include crowding, spacing, overbite, underbite, and crossbite.
Left untreated, misalignment can contribute to uneven wear, difficulty cleaning, and increased risk of gum disease. Orthodontic treatment is suitable for patients of varying ages, and the right approach depends on the severity of the misalignment, your oral health, and your lifestyle. A consultation with our team is the first step to understanding your options.
Straighter teeth are easier to clean, reducing plaque build-up and lowering the long-term risk of decay and gum disease.
Addressing bite issues can reduce jaw strain and may improve comfort when eating and speaking.
From clear aligners to metal braces, options are available to suit different preferences and lifestyles.
Orthodontic treatment is not limited to younger patients. Many adults seek treatment and achieve effective results.
Wearing a retainer after active treatment helps maintain teeth in their corrected position.
Your dentist will examine your teeth, jaws, and bite, and discuss your goals. Scans or X-rays may be taken to assess alignment.
A personalised plan is developed outlining the recommended option, expected duration, and what to expect.
Your chosen appliance is fitted and adjusted at regular intervals. Treatment length varies by case.
Once teeth have reached their new position, a retainer is provided to maintain the result.

Crown Dental Group offers metal braces, clear aligners, and retainers. Metal braces suit a wide range of cases. Clear aligners offer a removable, less visible alternative. Retainers maintain results once active treatment is complete.
Some patients experience mild pressure or discomfort when braces are adjusted or a new set of aligners is started. This is a common response as the teeth begin to move and typically settle within a day or two. Your dentist will advise on how to manage any discomfort during treatment.
Treatment length varies by case complexity. Your dentist will provide a timeframe at your consultation.
An initial orthodontic assessment is generally recommended around the age of seven, when a mix of baby and adult teeth is present and developing alignment concerns can be identified early. The dentist will advise on whether any intervention is needed at that stage or whether monitoring is the appropriate approach.
