Located just minutes from the Adelaide CBD, we’ll work around your busy lifestyle, ensuring that you have a positive experience and leave completely satisfied.
These orthodontic problems often start in childhood and well-timed dental correction treatment can prevent them from persisting into adulthood.
As one of the most common orthodontic issues, overlapping or rotated teeth make cleaning your teeth more difficult, and increase the risk of tooth cavities, decay and gum disease. Orthodontics not only fixes these misalignments – you will also end up with a straighter and nicer, even-looking smile.
Overcrowding can increase a patient's chances of developing oral health issues due to insufficient space in the jaw, with uneven fitting teeth being difficult to clean. Braces encourage dental correction by gradually moving teeth into better positions and creating more space.
Teeth gaps are not only a common aesthetic concern reported by many of our patients. They also increase the risk of trapped food, which can eventually lead to tooth decay and gum disease.
When you straighten your teeth, it might do wonders for your confidence, but it also improves other areas of your life as well. Here’s how:
At My Dentist on The Parade, we’ve seen the difference that a confident smile can make to a patient’s quality of life. That’s why we offer a full range of modern and traditional teeth realignment solutions.
A modern teeth alignment option for adults and teenagers, clear aligners are custom-fit removable trays. Often referred to as “invisible braces”, they are a discreet option for teeth realignment, compared with more visible traditional metal bracket braces.
Crafted from durable, transparent plastic, Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment technique that uses a series of custom-made, durable, yet invisible clear aligners to straighten teeth without the need for traditional metal braces. Suitable for teenagers and adults looking to transform their smile and self-confidence, Invisalign is a popular option for discreet dental alignment.
ClearCorrect™ is an affordable, modern orthodontic solution that uses custom-fit clear aligners to correct dental alignment issues subtly and effectively, without the noticeable appearance of traditional metal braces or the need for monthly wire-tightening visits.
Suitable for both teens and adults, ClearCorrect™ aligners offer the convenience of being removable, allowing for greater flexibility in maintaining proper oral hygiene and normal eating habits.
A nearly invisible, removable smile straightening option, but with the added bonus of less staining compared to other brands, the Spark Clear Aligner System has been shown to achieve great results. They are not only the most transparent looking option on the market, but are also custom-scalloped and polished for the most ultimate comfort.
Other Solutions
While clear aligners are popular, they can also be expensive. Depending on your teeth, they may not be the ideal smile correction option. That’s why we offer a range of alternative smile makeovers that could be far more suitable:
As a more affordable clear teeth aligner option compared to other brands, Angel Aligners use a computer-designed system to achieve a custom fit for the best results.
Though you might be tempted by cheap DIY teeth straightening kits on the market, it’s best to undergo professional treatment closely monitored by a qualified dentist to prevent permanent damage to your teeth. Angel Aligners could be your best option.
An innovative, affordable new solution for teeth corrections, you may start seeing results with Cfast™ (Cosmetically Focused Adult Straight Teeth) in as little as 8 weeks, with most treatments taking around 5 months or more.
It focuses on treating your front 6 teeth only, which are also known as the “social six”, therefore requiring less time under pressure to have a noticeable effect.
Cfast™ causes minimal discomfort and being highly discreet, is suitable for adults who are seeking fast and convenient teeth alignment.
Conventional dental braces are still the time-tested gold standard in treating a range of orthodontic concerns, from minor misalignments through to significant bite irregularities, which can’t be treated effectively by clear aligners.
Dental braces use a system of brackets which are attached to each tooth and connected with archwire. Some patients may also require additional elastic bands to help adjust jaw alignment and improve complex bite irregularities.
Attending regular dental visits throughout the treatment process will ensure that the necessary adjustments to brackets, wires and elastics are made as needed to help achieve optimal results.

Keen on embarking a stress-free, anti-anxiety teeth correction journey with My Dentist on The Parade? You’ll have straighter teeth and a more confident smile with our 4-step process:
Our dentists will begin by performing a thorough examination of your teeth, discussing your goals, and determining which treatment option is right for you.
Using advanced digital imaging, we’ll create a 3D model of your teeth to assist with designing the perfect personalised treatment plan for you. Once your aligners or braces are ready, you’ll attend your first fitting appointment where we provide support on adjusting to your new device.
To make sure that your teeth are responding well to treatment and tracking correctly, we recommend follow up visits every 6-8 weeks.
Retainers play an important role in sustaining your stunning new smile after you have stopped wearing your aligners or braces. They help with holding your teeth firmly in their new position, ensuring that they don’t misalign again.
At My Dentist on The Parade, we understand that teeth straightening can be a costly expense, particularly if you require ongoing or highly specialised treatments.
We believe that dental care should be accessible for as many patients as possible, so we endeavour to offer competitive prices for premium dental services as much as possible.
Many of our services are eligible for health insurance rebates.
We also offer a range of “Buy Now, Pay Later” payment options including Afterpay and Zip Pay.

She regularly travels to conferences and workshops to continue her professional development. With ongoing training to stay up to date on the latest dental techniques, procedures, and technology, Dr Karn ensures that you always receive a high standard of care and lasting, natural looking results.
Depending on your unique dental needs and pre-existing teeth concerns, treatment times can vary.
You may initially experience mild aching or discomfort and pressure while you settle into your new aligners or teeth braces in the first few weeks. However, after this initial adjustment period, you’ll feel much more comfortable. Custom-scalloped aligners such as Spark and Angel Align are specifically designed to minimise any uncomfortable sensation arising from wearing aligners.
At My Dentist on The Parade, we treat every patient on a case-by-case basis to ensure that you receive the best care possible. We understand that patients will respond differently to different teeth straightening solutions, leading to variability in costs. That’s why we recommend booking in for a comprehensive initial consultation to receive a precise quote for our services.
