Midland Orthodontics opened on The Avenue in 1984 and has treated more than 25,000 cases from that address since. Six specialist orthodontists practise here together, and between them they plan and fit braces and plates, Invisalign and clear aligners and the retainers that hold the result.
Orthodontics is the only thing we do. You do not need a referral from your dentist to be seen, every plan is quoted in writing before anything is fitted, and payment plans are arranged here in the practice rather than through a finance company.
Not sure which of those suits your teeth? That is what the first consultation is for, and it costs you nothing to find out.
Pay for it weekly, fortnightly or monthly.
Interest-free plans through DentiCare, with no credit check.
Every treatment, all under one roof
From a child's first assessment to adult treatment and jaw surgery, every case is planned and cared for by our own specialist orthodontists.
Invisalign & Clear Aligners
Discreet, removable aligners for teens and adults who want straighter teeth without traditional braces.
Early & Adult Treatment
The right treatment at the right age, from early interceptive care for growing kids to complex adult and surgical cases.
Invisalign & clear aligners
Experienced providers of invisible braces in Midland
Clear aligners, planned and supervised by specialist orthodontists
Invisalign and clear aligners can straighten teeth almost invisibly, but the aligners are only as good as the plan behind them. At Midland Orthodontics every aligner case is planned by a specialist orthodontist, reviewed at each visit, and finished with retainers, so the result lasts.
Your first visit
What to expect at your first appointment
Allow about an hour. It is a conversation and an assessment, not a treatment appointment, and you will not have anything fitted on the day.
We listen first
What is bothering you, what you would like to change, and anything you have been told before. For children, we want to hear from them too, not only from the parent.
A specialist assessment
One of our orthodontists examines your teeth, bite and jaw, and how they are developing. This is the part a general dentist cannot do for you.
Imaging, only if it is needed
Usually a digital scan and an X-ray. The scan replaces the old putty impressions, so there is nothing to gag on and nothing to hold still for.
Your options, explained properly
What is suitable for your case, what each option involves day to day, roughly how long it takes, and what we would recommend if it were our family.
A written quote before you leave
The full fee for your course of treatment, payment plan options, and what your health fund is likely to cover. No pressure to book anything on the spot.

FAQ
Questions? We've got answers
Straight answers about referrals, timing and cost. Can’t find what you need, just ask us.
No. While many of our patients are referred by their family dentist, you're welcome to book a consultation directly, with no referral needed. If you do have a referral, bring it along with any recent X-rays.
Around age 7–8 is ideal for a first assessment. Most children won't need treatment that early, but it lets us monitor how the jaw and adult teeth are developing and step in at the right moment if early treatment would help.
Not at all. Healthy teeth can be moved at any age, and a growing share of our patients are adults. With options like ceramic braces and Invisalign, treatment can be far more discreet than you might expect.
It depends on your bite, your teeth and your lifestyle. Braces suit complex movements and don't rely on wear-time; aligners are nearly invisible and removable for eating and brushing. At your consultation we'll assess your case and give you an honest recommendation either way.
Every smile is different, so fees depend on the complexity and length of your treatment. After your consultation you'll receive a personalised quote up front, and we offer payment plans to spread the cost over your treatment.
Most comprehensive treatments take around 12 to 24 months, though simpler cases can be shorter. Your orthodontist will give you a realistic estimate as part of your treatment plan, and regular adjustment visits keep everything on track.
Fitting braces or aligners doesn't hurt. Teeth can feel tender for a few days after fittings and adjustments as they begin to move, but it settles quickly, and simple over-the-counter pain relief is usually all that's needed.
Retention is part of every treatment plan. You'll be fitted with retainers to hold your new smile in place, and we'll monitor everything at follow-up visits. Teeth naturally want to drift, and retainers are what keep your result for life.
