Creating Beautiful Smiles for Life
Helping your child achieve a healthy, confident smile starts with the right orthodontic care. At Lifestyle Orthodontics, we provide kids’ braces in Sydney tailored to support healthy dental development and long-term oral health. Our experienced team works closely with children and families to create personalised treatment plans in a comfortable and supportive environment.
Braces are commonly used to correct orthodontic issues that affect tooth alignment and bite. Early treatment can improve both function and appearance while supporting proper oral development.
Children may benefit from braces if they have:
At Lifestyle Orthodontics, we assess your child’s teeth, jaw growth, and bite alignment to determine the most appropriate treatment approach.
Patients who would like to minimise the appearance of braces should consider lingual braces.
Lingual braces are very similar to conventional metal braces except that the brackets are bonded to the back side or lingual (tongue) side of the tooth. This means that even during orthodontic treatment, you can smile with confident, clear teeth. Most people won’t even know you are wearing braces!
The purpose of positioning the brackets on the back sides of the teeth is solely to minimise their appearance.
Patients who are seeking the most affordable dental braces should consider conventional metal braces, which continue to be an extremely cost-effective option.
Metal dental braces consist of brackets, an arch wire, and elastic bands. Brackets are small, metal devices that are bonded to the front surface of each tooth. Brackets today are smaller and smoother than the brackets of just a few years ago. The arch wire is a single wire that is attached to each of the brackets and provides the force to move the teeth.
Patients who would like to minimise the appearance of braces should also consider clear braces.
Clear, or transparent, braces are quite similar to standard metal braces except that the brackets are made from a ceramic (composite material) rather than from metal. The ceramic is either clear or tooth-coloured, so that they blend with your teeth and are less noticeable than standard metal braces.
Patients who are seeking a more comfortable option for dental braces should consider Damon braces, which use less force.
Damon braces, also known as self-ligating braces, are very similar to standard metal braces, except the metal brackets are smooth with rounded edges and are specially designed with a hinged opening to hold the arch wire in place.
Insignia is the digital system we use for conventional braces at the practice.
Braces can correct a wide range of orthodontic issues, including crooked teeth, overbites, underbites, and gaps.
Modern braces are designed to be strong and reliable, ensuring that your treatment is effective and efficient.
With options like coloured bands for metal braces or clear brackets for ceramic braces, you can personalise your braces to suit your style.
Orthodontic treatment offers more than cosmetic improvements. Straightening teeth and correcting bite alignment can contribute to better oral health and long-term function.
Benefits of braces for children may include:
Early orthodontic care can also reduce the likelihood of more complex dental issues developing later in life.
Schedule a consultation with Professor Ali Darendeliler to discuss your orthodontic needs and determine the best type of braces for you.
We will create a customised treatment plan based on your specific needs and goals. This plan will outline the estimated duration of treatment and the expected results.
Your braces will be carefully fitted to your teeth, ensuring comfort and effectiveness. You may experience some initial discomfort as your mouth adjusts to the braces.
You will have regular appointments with our team to adjust your braces and ensure that your teeth are moving correctly. These adjustments are crucial for achieving the best results.
Once your treatment is complete, we will remove your braces and provide you with retainers to maintain your new smile.

Many children begin orthodontic treatment between the ages of 9 and 14, although every case is different.
Treatment time varies depending on the complexity of the case, but many children wear braces for 12 to 24 months.
Children may experience mild discomfort after adjustments, but this usually improves within a few days.
Yes. Children can continue playing sports while wearing braces. A mouthguard may be recommended for contact sports.
Sticky, hard, or chewy foods should generally be avoided to reduce the risk of damaging brackets or wires.
Most children attend adjustment appointments every 4 to 8 weeks during treatment.
Clear aligners may be suitable for some older children and teenagers depending on their orthodontic needs and ability to wear aligners consistently.
