Over recent years, orthodontic treatment has become increasingly more accessible to the general public. Furthermore, with the aid of developments in technology, patients are able to have an orthodontic experience that takes less time, is less invasive and much more effective than the past. Patients can choose from a variety of orthodontic treatments that suit their personal needs and wants, including: metal (traditional) braces, ceramic braces, Invisalign or a combination of those listed.
Metal braces (Traditional) braces
When people think of “braces”, it is these metal braces that most people imagine in their heads. Today, however, metal braces are smaller and less noticeable than the “metal-mouth” braces that many adults may remember.
These are the metal brackets and wires that most people picture when they hear the word “braces.” However, modern brackets are smaller and less noticeable than the notorious “metal-mouth” braces that many adults remember.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces are similar to metal braces, except that they have tooth-coloured or clear brackets that blend in with teeth. There is even the option to use tooth-coloured wires for the braces to be even less noticeable.
Invisalign
Invisalign involves a series of custom-made, removeable plastic aligners created for each individual patient. As a clear alternative to braces, the aligners are made of a virtually invisible plastic that patients wear over their teeth to gradually shift them to the ideal position. This allows patients to maintain their lifestyle during treatment. The aligners are replaced every 2 weeks.
Combination
We also offer different combinations of the above treatments. For example, we can apply clear braces on your upper front teeth where aesthetics is of greater concern, and metal brackets for your back and lower teeth, which aren’t as visible when you smile.
We make your dental care more affordable with flexible patient payment options.
Orthodontic treatment costs can range from as little as $1500 to $9,000, depending on the technique engaged and treatment duration.
For all our treatment options, we can work with you to find a payment plan that suits your needs and budget.
The patient typically pays 20% of the cost on the first visit and the balance amount in monthly interest-free instalments over the course of the treatment.
After your initial consultation we can provide you with an all-inclusive proposal so that you know exactly what to expect before commencing your treatment.

Yes, Station Dental Chatswood provides orthodontic treatment for both teenagers and adults. Treatment options include traditional braces, clear aligners and retainers. A consultation is available to assess your teeth, discuss your goals and recommend the most suitable treatment pathway.
Traditional braces use metal or ceramic brackets fixed to the teeth and connected by wires to progressively move teeth into alignment. Clear aligners are a series of custom-made, removable transparent trays that gradually shift teeth without visible brackets. Both are effective treatments for straightening teeth — the best option depends on the complexity of your case, your lifestyle and your preferences. Station Dental Chatswood can advise after an orthodontic assessment.
Orthodontic issues are best identified early, but treatment is usually not started until most permanent teeth have come through — typically between ages 12 and 14. Station Dental Chatswood monitors bite development and jaw growth at every children’s checkup and will recommend the right time to begin orthodontic treatment based on your child’s individual development.
Yes. Orthodontic treatment is suitable for adults of any age. Clear aligners in particular are a popular choice for adults seeking a discreet option. Station Dental Chatswood offers orthodontic consultations for adult patients and can assess whether braces, clear aligners or another treatment is appropriate for your teeth.
The duration of orthodontic treatment varies depending on the complexity of the case, the patient’s age and the treatment method used. Minor corrections may take 6 to 12 months, while more significant alignment or bite issues may take 18 to 24 months or longer. Your dentist at Station Dental Chatswood will provide a treatment timeline estimate at your orthodontic consultation.
