Braces for adults in Perth

Q: How long does adult braces treatment take?

Most adult braces treatments take between 12 and 24 months, depending on how much your teeth need to move. Because we plan every case with SureSmile and review progress with Dental Monitoring, treatment stays efficient and on track.

Q: How much do dental braces cost in Perth?

The cost of braces depends on the complexity of your treatment, so we provide an all-inclusive written quote after your consultation, with no hidden fees. We also offer interest-free payment plans to help spread the cost.

Q: What types of braces do you offer for adults?

We offer three types of dental braces for adults in Perth: Damon self-ligating metal braces, discreet tooth-coloured ceramic braces, and lingual braces fitted behind your teeth so they’re hidden from view. Every option is planned with SureSmile precision.

Q: Are adult braces noticeable?

They don’t have to be. Ceramic braces use clear or tooth-coloured brackets that blend with your natural teeth, while lingual braces sit behind your teeth and are virtually invisible from the front — ideal for professional and social settings.

Q: Braces or Invisalign® — which is right for me?

Both can give you a straighter smile. Fixed braces work for the widest range of cases and need no daily effort, while Invisalign® clear aligners are removable and discreet. At your consultation, our Specialist Orthodontists will recommend the option that best suits your teeth, lifestyle and goals.

Braces aren’t just for teenagers. At Profile Orthodontics, our Specialist Orthodontists provide advanced, discreet and highly personalised dental braces for adults across Perth — designed to straighten your teeth and improve your bite at any age.

How exactly do braces work?

Braces use a system of brackets, wires, and gentle pressure to gradually move your teeth into their ideal positions. At Profile Orthodontics in Perth, we enhance this process with SureSmile technology using robotically-bent wires shaped to match your exact treatment plan.

These advanced, heat-activated wires work with your body’s natural warmth to move teeth more efficiently and comfortably than traditional options. The result? Greater precision, shorter treatment times, and better outcomes.

Brace options for adults

We understand that as an adult, your lifestyle, career, and personal preferences play a key role in your treatment choice. That’s why we offer a range of brace options tailored to meet your aesthetic and functional needs.

Metal braces

Today’s metal braces are smaller, more comfortable, and more efficient than ever before. We use Damon metal braces, which feature a self-ligating design that eliminates the need for elastic bands. This means less friction, easier cleaning, and faster results.

They’re ideal for adults who want reliable results in a straightforward and effective way without compromising on comfort.

Ceramic braces

If you’re concerned about appearance during treatment, ceramic braces offer a discreet alternative. These braces use clear or tooth-coloured brackets that blend in with your natural teeth, making them far less noticeable than metal options.

Ceramic braces are especially popular with adults who want the effectiveness of traditional braces, but with a more subtle look that suits both professional and social settings.

Lingual braces

For the ultimate in discreet treatment, lingual braces are fitted to the back surfaces of your teeth, making them virtually invisible from the front.

At Profile Orthodontics in Perth, our lingual treatments are powered by SureSmile technology, allowing us to custom-plan every movement with precision. You’ll get the full benefits of fixed braces while your treatment is completely hidden from view.

Why choose Profile Orthodontics for adult braces in Perth

Where you have your braces matters as much as the braces themselves. Across our two Perth clinics, adults are cared for by Specialist Orthodontists using technology that makes treatment more precise, more comfortable and more convenient.

Led by Specialist Orthodontists

Your treatment is led by Specialist Orthodontists — dentists who completed years of additional training in tooth and jaw alignment. It means your dental braces are planned and managed by genuine experts, from the simplest case to complex bite correction.

Precision with SureSmile

We plan every case digitally and use SureSmile robotically-bent wires shaped to your teeth. That precision means fewer surprises, greater comfort and, often, less time in braces.

Fewer visits, closer oversight

With Dental Monitoring, we track your progress remotely between appointments — so you spend less time travelling to our Perth clinics, while we keep a closer eye on your teeth than traditional check-ups allow.

Why adults choose braces

Suitable for all cases – Braces can treat a wide range of orthodontic issues, from mild crowding to more complex bite corrections.
Discreet options available – Ceramic and lingual braces offer the aesthetic flexibility many adults prefer.
No need to remove – Unlike aligners, braces stay in place, so there’s no risk of forgetting to wear them or losing them.
Advanced technology – Our use of SureSmile means greater accuracy, shorter treatment times and improved comfort — and with Dental Monitoring, we track your progress remotely, so you need fewer trips into the practice.

Things to consider with braces

Oral hygiene – Brushing and flossing require a bit more attention during treatment, but we’ll provide tips and tools to make it easy.
Diet adjustments – Hard or sticky foods can damage brackets and wires. Avoiding them helps ensure smooth progress.
Mild discomfort – It’s normal to experience some initial tenderness as your mouth adjusts. Most patients find this subsides quickly.
Visibility – While traditional braces are visible, our ceramic and lingual options offer discreet solutions that suit adult lifestyles.
