Our braces treatment in St Peters is carried out with the utmost care and consideration, ensuring you’re satisfied with our service from day one until completion and beyond. We understand the importance of you and/or your children feeling confident in your smiles – not only in terms of aesthetic appeal but also for optimal functionality of the jaw and teeth.
Straightening your teeth using orthodontic treatments like braces can significantly lower the risk of jaw and oral health problems such as tooth decay, premature tooth wear, jaw discomfort, gum disease, and more. This is because properly aligned teeth are easier to clean and maintain, promoting the long-term health of your teeth and jaw. Transform Orthodontic Care offers a variety of orthodontic treatments at their St Peters practice, including traditional metal braces and clear ceramic braces, tailored to your specific needs. No matter how unique or challenging your teeth alignment issues are, our lead orthodontist, Dr. Daniel De Angelis, along with our skilled team, will work together to develop the most suitable braces treatment plan for you.

Traditional Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces are the most common type of braces and are more comfortable today than ever before. Made of high-grade stainless steel, metal braces straighten your teeth using metal brackets and archwires. Metal braces tend to be more cost-effective and can be used to treat a range of teeth misalignment and other orthodontic issues. Metal braces are more durable as they can withstand more pressure than other forms of braces or orthodontic treatments. This means you’re less likely to experience breakage of the brackets and avoid extending the treatment time longer than necessary. At Transform Orthodontic Care in St Peters, we offer specialised orthodontic treatments in metal kids braces, teen braces, and adult braces. With metal braces, you have the option of adding coloured elastics (rubber bands) for a more unique and colourful smile.
Clear (Ceramic) Braces
Clear ceramic braces are made of clear materials and are therefore less visible on your teeth than metal braces. For this reason, clear ceramic braces are used mainly on older teenagers and adult patients who have cosmetic concerns. Clear ceramic braces are a more aesthetic option to provide great results without the traditional look of metal braces. To learn more about clear ceramic braces treatment in St Peters, we recommend getting in touch with our friendly staff and booking a consultation at Transform Orthodontic Care today.
Teenage Braces
Our teenage braces treatments in St Peters are among the most common orthodontic treatments we perform, as this is when all the adult teeth have emerged and can be treated for alignment and correction. Our teen braces treatment may also be used in conjunction with teeth appliances such as plates, functional appliances, and expanders for a better result. Teens are often concerned about the appearance of braces, which is why we also provide clear braces (ceramic) as well as serial clear aligners such as Invisalign treatment as alternatives at our clinics in St Peters. However, traditional metal braces continue to be the most common form of orthodontic braces as they’re more durable and have been improved over the years for a more comfortable feel.
Adult Braces
Our adult braces treatments in St Peters are designed for those who have decided to improve their dental alignment later in life. Many adults seek orthodontic treatment to achieve a healthier bite and an aesthetically pleasing smile. Our adult braces treatment may be used in conjunction with teeth appliances such as plates, functional appliances, and expanders for optimal results. Adults often appreciate the subtler appearance of clear braces (ceramic) or clear aligners like Invisalign, which we offer as alternatives at our clinics in St Peters. Nevertheless, traditional metal braces remain a popular choice due to their durability and the advancements that have made them more comfortable than ever.
