Creating Healthy, Confident Smiles With Orthodontics
At Kitchener Street Dental, Toowoomba, QLD, we believe that a beautifully aligned smile is not just about appearance—it’s about function and confidence too. Orthodontics is the specialised field of dentistry focused on correcting irregularities in teeth alignment and jaw function. Whether it’s crooked teeth, spacing issues, or bite concerns, our team offers a range of orthodontic solutions tailored to your unique needs and lifestyle. Straightening your teeth can help improve facial harmony, make oral hygiene easier, and support long-term dental health.
Early Intervention With Myofunctional Therapy
One of the most effective treatments we offer for younger patients is MRC myofunctional therapy. This early intervention method gently guides teeth into better alignment while correcting oral habits that can impact jaw and facial development.
Benefits of Myofunctional Appliances
- T4K® Phase 1 (soft): Ideal for children 6+
- Encourages correct tongue posture and muscle function
- Helps with swallowing, speech, and jaw alignment
- T4K® Phase 2 (hard): Enhances tooth alignment after Phase 1
These appliances are used alongside exercises designed to restore strength and coordination in the muscles of the face and mouth, setting children up for long-term orthodontic success.
Invisalign® – A Clear Path to a Straighter Smile
For teens and adults seeking a discreet solution, Invisalign® is a popular clear aligner treatment. These custom-made, nearly invisible aligners gradually move your teeth into position—without wires or brackets. You’ll wear each set of aligners for around two weeks, changing them out as your teeth shift.
Why Patients Love Invisalign®
- Virtually invisible and comfortable to wear
- Removable for eating, brushing, and flossing
- Fewer dental visits required
- Suitable for mild to moderate alignment issues
Your progress will be monitored every 6–8 weeks at Kitchener Street Dental to ensure everything is on track for a stunning outcome.
Precision Braces With Insignia & Damon Systems
For patients with more complex alignment needs, we offer Insignia and the Damon System—two of the latest innovations in braces technology. Insignia uses virtual treatment planning to design custom brackets and wires for efficient and precise results. The Damon System features self-ligating braces that reduce pressure on teeth and require fewer adjustments.
What Makes These Braces Advanced
- Customised bracket placement (Insignia)
- Reduced treatment time and visits
- Comfortable, compact braces
- Effective for more advanced orthodontic issues
These systems not only deliver excellent functional outcomes but also ensure a smoother, more comfortable experience throughout your orthodontic journey.
