Braces Gold Coast

Struggling With Crooked or Crowded Teeth?
Braces Can Help

If you feel shy about smiling or talking because your teeth are crooked, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to stay that way. Crooked or crowded teeth can be harder to clean, which may lead to tooth decay, gum problems, or even jaw pain. Braces can gently move your teeth into a straighter, healthier position, giving you a smile that works and looks better. Over time, they guide your teeth into the right place, improving how your smile feels and functions.

At JJ Smiles Dental & Implant Centre, we provide gentle, expert care and modern braces tailored just for you. Whether you prefer traditional metal braces or a more discreet option like clear or ceramic braces, we’ll help you choose the one that fits your lifestyle and needs. We proudly welcome patients from Gold Coast, Oxenford, Coomera, Upper Coomera, Helensvale, Pacific Pines, Maudsland, Tamborine Mountain, and surrounding areas.

Book your braces consultation today and take the first step towards a straighter, healthier smile.

What Are Braces & How Do They Work?

Braces are a dental treatment that straighten teeth and correct bite problems, helping you smile, eat, and speak with confidence. They work by applying gentle, constant pressure to move teeth into position over time. Made up of small brackets connected by a thin wire, braces may also use elastic bands to guide your bite into alignment.

At JJ Smiles Dental, we make your braces journey comfortable and stress-free. Treatment typically lasts 12–24 months, and every plan is customised for your needs. We use modern safety standards, quality materials, and precise planning to ensure the best results for your smile and health.

Common Problems Braces Can Fix

Braces do more than make your smile look nice — they also fix dental and bite problems that can affect how your teeth work and how comfortable your mouth feels. By gently moving teeth into the right position over time, braces can improve both the way your smile looks and how well it functions.

Some common problems braces can help with include:

Crooked or Twisted Teeth

Teeth that are not straight can be harder to clean properly, which may lead to decay and can also make you feel less confident about your smile.

Overcrowding

When there’s too little space in your mouth, teeth can overlap or push each other out of position.

Gaps Between Teeth

Braces can close unwanted spaces, making your smile look even and helping your teeth work better.

Overbite

This is when the upper front teeth overlap the lower teeth too much, which may cause wear, discomfort, or even affect speech.

Underbite

When the lower teeth extend in front of the upper teeth, making chewing difficult and may cause jaw discomfort.

Crossbite

When some upper teeth bite inside the lower teeth instead of outside, which can cause uneven wear or gum issues.

Jaw misalignment

Poor alignment can lead to jaw pain, clicking, headaches, or difficulty chewing certain foods.

Speech issues

Some bite problems can make it harder to pronounce words clearly.

Braces for All Ages — Kids & Teens

We believe that a straighter smile can start early. At JJ Smiles Dental & Implant Centre, we offer braces for kids and teens to help guide growth and boost confidence.

For Kids:

Early orthodontic treatment, also called Phase 1 treatment, is recommended when children still have some baby teeth. It can guide jaw growth, create space for adult teeth, and fix bite issues before they get worse — often avoiding more complex treatment later.

For Teens:

We understand teenagers want to feel confident while straightening their teeth. That’s why we offer teen-friendly options such as clear aligners, ceramic braces, or even colourful bands for metal braces.

Every child and teen is different, so we customise the treatment plan to suit their needs and comfort.

Braces for Adults

It’s never too late to straighten your teeth and improve your smile. Many adults choose braces not only for a more attractive appearance but also for better oral health, as crooked teeth can be harder to clean and may cause gum disease, jaw pain, or uneven wear.

At JJ Smiles Dental & Implant Centre, we offer modern, discreet options like ceramic braces and clear aligners that are effective, work-friendly, and less noticeable. We’ll help you select the right treatment to suit your goals, schedule, and lifestyle.

Straightening your teeth as an adult with cosmetic dentistry is an investment in both your confidence and long-term dental health — and our experienced team will guide you through every step.

Step-by-Step Guide: What to Expect During Your Braces Journey

We make the process simple and transparent, so you always know what’s coming next.

Step 1 – Initial Consultation

We assess your teeth and bite with a check-up, digital scans, and X-rays to plan your treatment.

Step 2 – Fitting Your Braces

Braces or aligners are placed carefully, and we explain everything you need to know about wearing them.

Step 3 – Regular Adjustment Visits

Quick visits every few weeks allow us to make small adjustments to keep your teeth moving effectively.

Step 4 – Oral Care & Lifestyle Guidance

We provide tips on brushing, flossing, and protecting your braces to maintain good oral health.

Step 5 – Retainer Phase

After treatment, wearing a retainer ensures your new smile stays in place for the long term.

Braces Costs & Payment Options

At JJ Smiles Dental & Implant Centre, we believe everyone deserves a confident smile without any surprise costs.

The total cost of braces varies depending on your needs, with most treatments ranging from $4,500 to $8,500, based on the type of braces and case complexity. At your first consultation, you’ll receive a clear, upfront quote — with no hidden fees.

Your treatment includes:

First consultation and tailored treatment plan
X-rays and digital scans
Fitting and adjustments
Oral care advice throughout your journey
Post-treatment retainers

We offer interest-free payment plans and can help you check whether your private health insurance covers part of the cost.

How Long Will I Need to Wear Braces?

Most people wear braces for 12–24 months. The exact time depends on your age, the condition of your teeth, and how complex your case is.

For the fastest and best results:

Attend all adjustment visits
Follow your dentist’s instructions (especially for elastics)
Keep your teeth clean
Avoid hard or sticky foods

Once your braces are removed, wearing your retainer as directed will keep your smile straight for years to come.
