Looking for trusted orthodontic treatment in Cheltenham? Pacific Smiles Dental Cheltenham offers comprehensive orthodontic solutions including traditional braces, clear aligners, and ceramic braces for patients of all ages across the Bayside area.
Our experienced team provides personalised, affordable care to help you achieve the confident smile you have always wanted.
What is Orthodontic treatment?
Orthodontics is a specialised area of dentistry that corrects misaligned teeth and jaw problems. Our Cheltenham orthodontist treats overcrowded teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites.
It’s important how your teeth look, but properly aligned teeth also improve your oral health. This can be reducing the chance tooth decay, improving chewing function and can alleviate jaw pain and headaches.
Orthodontic treatment options in Cheltenham
Traditional Metal Braces
Metal braces remain the most reliable and cost-effective orthodontic solution, especially popular among children and teenagers. Using brackets and wires, traditional braces gradually shift teeth into optimal positions with proven results.
Clear Aligners (Invisalign)
Clear aligners provide an almost invisible orthodontic solution for adults and teens who want to remain on the down low. These removable trays straighten teeth comfortably while allowing you to maintain normal eating and oral hygiene habits throughout treatment.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces use tooth-coloured brackets that blend naturally with your smile, offering the effectiveness of traditional braces with improved aesthetics for insta-photo conscious patients.
Why choose Pacific Smiles for Orthodontics in Cheltenham?

Orthodontics for all ages
Adult orthodontics is increasingly popular throughout Southeast Melbourne. Whether addressing long-standing concerns or age-related dental shifts, it’s never too late to improve your smile and oral health.
Many adults in Cheltenham, Moorabbin, Mentone, and surrounding bayside suburbs choose clear aligners or ceramic braces for a less obvious appearance during treatment.
The Australian Society of Orthodontists recommends children have their first orthodontic evaluation around age seven.
Early assessment allows our expert Cheltenham dentists to identify potential problems before they become severe, often preventing more extensive treatment and higher costs later and reducing treatment time.
Your Orthodontic journey
Your orthodontic experience begins with a comprehensive consultation. We’ll examine your teeth, take digital scans, discuss your goals, and recommend the most suitable treatment option.
Treatment duration typically ranges from 12 to 24 months depending on case complexity. Throughout your journey, regular appointments every 4-8 weeks allow us to monitor progress and make necessary adjustments.
Maintaining excellent oral hygiene during orthodontic treatment is essential for the best results.
Follow these tips:
· Brush after every meal
· Floss daily
· Attend regular dental checkups
· Avoid sticky or hard foods with braces
· Remove aligners before eating
