A Beautiful Smile Awaits You
Orthodontic treatment is gaining popularity because of its discreet options for straightening teeth, especially for teenagers and adults.

At Sunshine Dental Group, we’re committed to helping patients achieve beautiful smiles with advanced orthodontic treatments personalised to their needs.
Orthodontic Treatments at Sunshine Dental Group
Clear Aligners
At Sunshine Dental Group, we provide Invisalign treatment, a favoured choice for discreet and efficient teeth straightening. These clear aligners are nearly invisible and can be removed, making them a preferred option for many individuals. The process entails wearing a series of personalised trays that are changed every few days to gently move your teeth into the desired alignment. Each aligner is crafted to fit your teeth precisely, ensuring optimal results. While their removable nature offers convenience, it’s crucial to wear them consistently, except during meals and oral hygiene routines.
Fixed Braces
We also offer traditional fixed braces as part of our orthodontic treatment options. These devices are crafted to straighten teeth and improve dental health and appearance. Fixed braces gradually shift the position of the teeth, tackling issues like overbites, crossbites, and misalignments.
Our fixed braces come in metal or ceramic materials, comprising brackets, wires, and other components. Each set is customised to suit our patient’s needs, efficiently correcting orthodontic problems. You can achieve a straighter smile and enhanced oral health by choosing fixed braces as your orthodontics treatment at Sunshine Dental Group.

Why Choose Invisalign?
Invisalign offers a simple solution for straightening teeth using a series of clear, removable aligners. These aligners are designed to fit comfortably and are hardly noticeable, allowing you to undergo treatment without drawing attention to your smile. Also, since Invisalign aligners can be removed, it’s easy to maintain good oral hygiene by eating, brushing, and flossing. While the cost of Invisalign treatment may be slightly higher than traditional braces, many consider it a worthwhile investment. Patients receive between 18 and 30 aligners, each gradually adjusting the teeth to achieve the desired position. This personalised approach ensures effective results tailored to individual orthodontic needs.
Caring for Your Dental Braces
Once your orthodontic treatment at Sunshine Dental Group is complete, taking good care of your dental braces is crucial. We recommend wearing a retainer afterwards, no matter what type of braces you have had or how old you are. This retainer is vital to maintaining the new positions of your teeth while allowing the supporting bone to properly develop around them. Skipping the retainer could lead to your teeth shifting back to their original spots, undoing all your progress. We’ll give you clear instructions on caring for your retainer so you can keep enjoying your new smile for years.

Frequently Asked Questions
Starting orthodontic treatment in childhood around age 7 is recommended. Although not every child will need treatment right away, having an early evaluation by a dentist can help detect any orthodontic issues early on and decide the best time to begin treatment. Early treatment often leads to more effective results and saves time and money.
How quickly your teeth can be aligned varies based on factors like the severity of your orthodontic problems and the treatment method you opt for. Traditional braces, for instance, often require a longer duration to achieve the desired outcome, spanning from a few months to several years. Yet, modern alternatives like clear aligners may offer quicker results, with some treatments finishing in just a few months.
Our orthodontic treatments are designed to tackle issues such as crowding, gaps, protruding teeth, and bite alignment concerns. If you’re curious about which treatment would be best for you, consider scheduling a consultation with one of our dentists today.
Having braces put on isn’t painful whatsoever. However, you might feel discomfort afterwards as your teeth adapt to the pressure from the orthodontic appliance. Fortunately, this discomfort is easily manageable with cold compresses and over-the-counter pain relief medication.
At our practices, we provide both Invisalign and traditional metal braces. Our experienced dentists will evaluate your orthodontic needs and suggest the treatment that suits you best.
