Orthodontics
A Holistic Approach to Healthy Smiles
At Friendly Smiles Dental, we believe that straight teeth are only one part of a healthy smile. Our approach to orthodontics goes beyond appearance — we take a whole-body, holistic view to help you or your child achieve long-term oral and overall well-being.
Whether you're after discreet clear aligners, early orthodontic treatment for kids, or adult braces, our Coorparoo clinic provides tailored, gentle care using the latest techniques in functional and integrative orthodontics.
Why Choose Holistic Orthodontics?
Holistic dental care focuses on the connection between your oral health and the rest of your body. When it comes to orthodontics, this means we consider:
Breathing and airway health
Jaw and facial development
Posture and bite alignment
Nutritional factors
Minimal use of extractions or invasive procedures
We aim to provide orthodontic care that supports not just a straight smile, but long-term comfort, confidence, and overall health.
