At Profilo° Dental, we believe orthodontic treatment should be a smooth, supportive, and rewarding experience. From your first consultation to the final retainer, our team guides you through every stage of your treatment, ensuring you stay informed and comfortable throughout your journey.

1. Initial Consultation

Your journey begins with a thorough assessment of your teeth, bite, and jaw alignment. Using digital scans, X-rays, and expert evaluation, we identify any alignment or bite concerns and discuss your goals. This appointment is also your chance to ask questions, explore your options, and understand the treatment options available to you.

2. Personalised Treatment Plan

Every smile is unique. We create a customised treatment plan tailored to your dental needs, lifestyle, and personal preferences. Whether you choose traditional braces, ceramic braces, or Invisalign®, your plan is designed for maximum comfort, efficiency, and predictable results.

3. Treatment & Regular Progress Checks

Once treatment begins, we provide step-by-step guidance and regular progress reviews. Adjustments and check-ups ensure your teeth are moving as planned, while our team is always available to answer questions or address any concerns. We aim to make the process stress-free, clear, and even enjoyable.

4. Retainers & Long-Term Maintenance

After braces or aligners are removed, retainers help maintain your new smile. We provide detailed instructions and ongoing follow-up care to ensure your teeth stay aligned and healthy in the long term.

Wanting to get porcelain veneers?

Why you might want to consider orthodontics first

Invisalign or braces can be an important first step before getting porcelain veneers because it allows us to optimise the position, spacing, and alignment of your natural teeth. When teeth are slightly crooked, crowded, or unevenly spaced, placing veneers alone may not deliver the most natural or long-lasting result.

By straightening your teeth with Invisalign or braces, we can:

Ensure proper alignment – Well-aligned teeth provide a stronger, more stable foundation for veneers, improving both aesthetics and bite function.
Minimise unnecessary tooth reduction – Straighter teeth often require less enamel removal to place veneers, helping preserve your natural tooth structure.
Achieve a more predictable and harmonious result – Correctly positioned teeth allow veneers to be shaped and placed precisely for a seamless, natural-looking smile.
Enhance long-term results – Proper alignment reduces uneven wear and stress on veneers, helping them last longer and maintain their appearance over time.
Support overall oral health – Straighter teeth are easier to clean and maintain, which can reduce the risk of decay or gum issues around your new veneers.

In short, starting with Invisalign or braces allows us to create a healthier, better-aligned foundation, so your veneers look and feel natural while providing a smile that’s functional, durable, and beautiful.

At Profilo° Dental, we combine clear aligner therapy with cosmetic dentistry to design smiles that are tailored to you — achieving the best results with minimal compromise to your natural teeth.

Comparing adult orthodontics & braces options

Invisalign

Description: Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, transparent aligner trays to gently and gradually move teeth into their correct positions. Each set of aligners is worn for about 1–2 weeks before progressing to the next stage, making treatment simple, predictable, and easy to fit into your lifestyle. Benefits: 1. Nearly invisible – Clear aligners are discreet, making them an excellent choice for adults who want to straighten their teeth without the look of braces. 2. Removable for eating and cleaning – No food restrictions and no tricky brushing around brackets. You can enjoy your favourite meals and maintain excellent oral hygiene with ease. 3. Comfortable with no metal parts – The smooth plastic trays reduce irritation and are more comfortable than traditional wires and brackets. 4. Convenient appointments – With no wires to adjust, check-ups are usually quicker and less frequent than with braces. 5. Fits into your lifestyle – Whether you’re at work, attending social events, or travelling, Invisalign offers a discreet and flexible treatment option. Considerations: 1. Commitment is essential – Aligners must be worn for 20–22 hours a day to be effective. Skipping wear can delay results. 2. Not suitable for all cases – While Invisalign can treat many alignment and bite issues, more complex cases may be better suited to braces. 3. Risk of loss – Because aligners are removable, they can be misplaced if not stored properly when taken out. Ideal for: Adults who want a subtle, comfortable, and convenient orthodontic option to fit seamlessly into their daily lives. Invisalign is especially suited to those with mild to moderate crowding, spacing, or bite concerns, and who prefer a discreet alternative to braces.

Ceramic braces

Description: Ceramic braces function like traditional braces but use tooth-coloured or clear brackets that blend with your natural teeth. This makes them a more discreet option while still delivering the same reliable and effective results as metal braces. Benefits: 1. Discreet appearance – Tooth-coloured or clear brackets make ceramic braces far less noticeable, ideal for adults who prefer a low-profile look. 2. Effective for a range of alignment needs – Ceramic braces can treat mild to more complex cases, including crowding, spacing, and bite issues. 3. Always working – Fixed in place, they work continuously without relying on patient compliance. 4. Comfortable design – Smooth ceramic material reduces irritation to lips and cheeks. 5. Reliable results – Provides precise control over tooth movement for predictable outcomes. Considerations: 1. More fragile than metal braces – Ceramic brackets can chip or break if not cared for properly. 2. Potential for staining – Brackets may stain from coffee, tea, or certain foods if oral hygiene is not maintained. 3. Slightly higher cost – Ceramic braces are generally more expensive than traditional metal braces. 4. Food restrictions – Hard or sticky foods should be avoided to protect brackets and wires. 5. Extra care when cleaning – Brushing and flossing around brackets is essential to prevent plaque build-up. Ideal for: Adults who want the reliability and effectiveness of braces but prefer a more natural, low-visibility appearance. Ceramic braces are perfect for professionals or anyone seeking a discreet yet dependable solution.

Traditional braces

Description: Traditional metal braces use stainless steel brackets and wires to gradually shift teeth into their correct positions. They are highly effective and remain one of the most reliable options for adults with both simple and complex orthodontic needs. Benefits: 1. Highly effective – Metal braces can treat virtually all orthodontic cases, from minor misalignment to complex bite issues. 2. Durable and strong – Metal brackets and wires are less likely to break compared to ceramic brackets. 3. Always working – Fixed braces work continuously, so results are consistent and predictable. 4. Customisable style – Adults can choose subtle metal options or coloured elastics if they wish. 5. Cost-effective – Generally the most affordable orthodontic option for adults. Considerations: 1. Noticeable appearance – Metal braces are more visible than Invisalign or ceramic options. 2. Food restrictions – Hard, sticky, or chewy foods must be avoided to prevent damage. 3. Potential irritation – Brackets and wires can rub against lips and cheeks; orthodontic wax helps ease discomfort. 4. Extra hygiene care – Brushing and flossing around metal braces requires attention to prevent plaque and staining. 5. Regular adjustments needed – Periodic orthodontic visits are required to tighten and check progress. Ideal for: Adults who want a highly reliable, effective, and budget-friendly orthodontic treatment capable of handling complex alignment and bite issues. Metal braces remain a trusted choice for adults seeking long-term, predictable results.
