Your Treatment Options in St Leonards
Braces – The Proven Path to a Perfect Smile
Sometimes the tried-and-true approach is still the best. Modern braces are smaller, more comfortable, and incredibly effective.
Traditional Metal Braces
Don’t let the “traditional” label fool you – today’s metal braces are sophisticated pieces of engineering. They remain the gold standard for comprehensive treatment because they work, plain and simple.
Best for:
- Complex bite corrections and jaw alignment
- Severe rotations or impacted teeth
- Patients who want the most reliable, proven approach
- Teens who love customising with coloured elastics
Clear Braces (Ceramic)
Want effective results without the metal smile? Ceramic braces blend seamlessly with your natural teeth while delivering the same powerful outcomes.
Perfect for:
- North Shore professionals wanting discretion
- Adults seeking effective yet subtle treatment
- Anyone who wants “always working” reliability without visibility
Lingual Braces
The ultimate invisible option. Bonded to the back of your teeth, lingual braces are completely hidden from view – yet they work just as effectively as traditional braces.
Ideal for:
- Professionals and public speakers
- Anyone wanting truly invisible treatment
- Patients committed to achieving results privately
Invisalign St Leonards – Clear Aligners, Expert Results
For many patients, Invisalign offers the perfect blend of aesthetics, convenience, and effectiveness. And with Dr. Chan’s Diamond Provider status and role as a Clinical Consultant, you’re learning from one of the region’s foremost experts.
Why Invisalign appeals to St Leonards patients:
- Virtually invisible – most people won’t even notice
- Removable for meals, drinks, and special events
- No dietary restrictions or cleaning challenges
- Comfortable with no metal or wires
- Perfect for active North Shore lifestyles
- Suitable for ages 11 to 71 (yes, really!)
Our iTero scanner means no messy impressions – just a quick, comfortable digital scan and you’re on your way.

Which Treatment Is Right for You?
Here’s the honest truth: both braces and Invisalign can deliver excellent results. The best choice depends on your specific situation.
Consider braces if you have:
- Complex bite or alignment issues
- Severe crowding or rotations
- A preference for fixed, always-working appliances
Consider Invisalign if you:
- Have mild to moderate alignment needs
- Value discretion and aesthetics highly
- Lead an active lifestyle with sports or performance activities
- Prefer removable appliances
During your consultation, we’ll assess your case thoroughly and recommend what will genuinely work best – explaining exactly why.

How We Work: Our Three-Step Approach
Step 1 – Assess
We start with a thorough consultation where we actually listen. What are your concerns? What are your goals? What fits your lifestyle?
Then we gather comprehensive records using our iTero digital scanner (no goopy impressions!), photographs, and 3D models. Everything we need to create your personalised treatment plan.
Step 2 – Suggest
You’ll receive a detailed explanation of our findings in plain English – no jargon overload. We’ll walk you through all suitable options, explain why we recommend specific approaches, show you predicted outcomes, and discuss costs and flexible payment plans.
You’ll see 3D simulations of your potential results before making any decisions. Complete transparency, no pressure.
Step 3 – Treat
Once you’re ready, we begin treatment with clear expectations and no surprises. You’ll have regular monitoring appointments, responsive support if any issues arise, and a comprehensive plan to maintain your results long-term.
