Straighten Your Smile with the Best Dental Braces in Melbourne
Are you looking for high-quality dental braces treatment in Melbourne?

Whether you need metal braces, ceramic braces, or invisible braces, we have the right solution for your teeth-straightening needs.
How do braces work?
Braces are used to fix a condition known as "malocclusion." This typically happens when teeth are crooked or crowded, but it can also occur due to an uneven bite, like an overbite or underbite, or other issues related to the jaw. Braces work by applying steady pressure to the teeth, gradually moving them into the correct alignment. As the teeth shift, the bones underneath also change to support and keep the teeth in their new position.
Do I need braces?
After a proper clinical exam, x-rays and teeth impressions, a dentist can determine if braces are a good choice for you. Only then can a proper treatment plan be developed.
Orthodontic treatment could be good for you if you feel that to are a match with any of the following:
- The upper front teeth protrude over the lower teeth. Commonly called “buck teeth” or overbite.
- The lower teeth are too far forward or the upper teeth are too far back, commonly known as an underbite.
- Upper teeth do not come down slightly in front of the lower teeth. Commonly called “crossbite”.
- The centre of your upper frontal teeth does not align with the centre of your lower front teeth. Better known as “bite disarray”.
- Teeth that do not fill the buccal cavity or are missing cause gaps between the teeth.
- A small dental ridge cannot accommodate the teeth, resulting in an appearance of being too crowded.
Fixed braces are worn 24/7. Only your orthodontist or dentist can remove fixed braces.

Frequently Asked Questions
The duration of braces treatment depends on the severity of your dental misalignment, the type of braces used, and how well you follow your orthodontist’s instructions. On average, treatment lasts between 12 to 24 months. However, some cases may take as little as 6 months for minor corrections, while complex cases may extend beyond 3 years.
Races may cause mild discomfort or soreness, especially after they are first applied and during routine adjustments. This discomfort typically lasts a few days and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers, such as ibuprofen. Eating soft foods and using orthodontic wax can also help reduce irritation.
Yes, absolutely! Many adults in Melbourne choose braces to straighten their teeth and improve their smiles. Advances in orthodontics now offer more discreet options, such as ceramic braces and Invisalign clear aligners, which are ideal for adults who prefer a less noticeable treatment.

Best experience I've ever had at a dental clinic, owner is amazing and Dr.Kumar and his assistant are absolutely brilliant. They even fit me in after hours and were so so friendly and lovely to me. Dr. Kumar was very great, fixed my broken tooth and had no pain or discomfort and made me feel very comfortable. I was quoted huge amounts by a previous dentist and after seeing Dr.Kumar I now know I didn't even need most of the work the previous dentist told me I needed and I definitely won't be hugely out of pocket. Very happy,, Highly recommend.

If you're looking for a dentist I 100% recommend CBD dental in Ballarat. The staff are lovely, and the dentist who saw to me was professional, knowledgeable and great at her job. Getting a wisdom tooth out was a short and seriously painless experience and I would definitely go back again.

Was able to get in on a Saturday afternoon & have a broken tooth fixed. Very friendly, welcoming & accommodating. It’s good to have a locally owned & operated business that’s meeting the needs of the community by opening all day on a Saturday.
