What sets us apart
About Our Clinic
Established over 20 years ago, Lane Orthodontics has earned a reputation for excellence in orthodontic care within the Cairns region. Our highly trained team is committed to delivering precise, individualised treatment plans utilizing the most advanced techniques and technology available. We provide comprehensive orthodontic solutions for patients of all ages, with an emphasis on achieving optimal functional and aesthetic outcomes. As a longstanding practice, we are proud to uphold a tradition of clinical expertise, exceptional service, and enduring patient relationships.
Orthodontic treatment focuses on straightening teeth and correcting bite issues to improve both function and appearance. We offer:
- Braces & Invisalign – Braces use brackets and wires to gradually move teeth into alignment, while Invisalign offers a nearly invisible, removable alternative with clear aligners.
- Surgical Orthodontics – For severe jaw misalignments, we work with oral surgeons to correct bite and facial symmetry for long-term oral health.
- Craniofacial Orthodontics – Specialised treatment for patients with cleft lip, palate, or other facial differences, ensuring proper jaw and teeth development.
With advanced technology and personalised treatment plans, we help patients of all ages achieve healthy, lasting smiles. Visit us in Cairns and take the first step towards yours today.
