FAQs
What age should my child be assessed for braces?
A child should be assessed for early childhood orthodontic treatment as early as age 8. Commencing orthodontic treatment early and while your child is still growing and has some of their baby teeth left, may increase the number of options for treatment.
How much do braces cost?
Braces usually require treatment over many months and multiple appointments. We offer a range of flexible payment plans that our friendly staff will be only to please to help you with. In addition to this, all costs involved will be fully disclosed prior to commencing treatment. We also offer payment plans to suit the needs of most budgets.
Should I join a health fund?
Here at Sam Wong Orthodontics, we believe that orthodontic treatment should be within the reach of all our patients. Health funds repay some of the cost of orthodontic treatment for members who have the appropriate level of dental insurance. We recommend you contact your specific health fund for information on what they will cover for your treatment. After carefully checking the premiums, conditions and level of rebate, work out whether you will be better off with insurance or not.
I am an adult. I don't want to wear braces, what are my options?
Invisalign and Lingual Braces are options where you can straighten your teeth discretely! We will complete a consultation to determine if this treatment option is suitable for your needs.
Do I need a referral to see an orthodontist?
No you do not require a referral from your general dentist to consult with us. Many of our patients come to us after being recommended to us by friends and family.
Does SureSmile treatment cost extra?
No, we do not charge our patients extra for the benefits of SureSmile technology.
Do I need a referral to see an orthodontist?
No, you do not require a referral from your general dentist to consult with us. Many of our patients come to us after being recommended to us by friends and family.
What are SureSmile Shape Memory Alloy archwires?
Shape Memory Alloy archwires have been used by orthodontists for the last decade. SureSmile allows an orthodontist to shape these archwires into a customised prescription. The customised movement delivers a precise treatment plan that forces teeth to move more directly into the target position.
Does it hurt to have braces?
When braces are initially fitted, it is normal to experience some discomfort for a few days after an adjustment. Our staff can advise you on how to manage this discomfort.
Do I need to see the dentist whilst wearing braces?
Yes, we strongly recommend you see your dentist every 6 months even while braces are on. Braces do not cause decay or gum disease but make plaque control more difficult. It is important for the dentist to check for early signs of decay and maintain healthy gums.
How long does treatment take?
You will be given an estimate time for active fixed appliance treatment. This is an average time and depends on favourable growth, elastic co-operation and regular visits and non breakages. Treatment time for traditional braces is estimated at 18 months to 2 years. Treatment using SureSmile can reduce this treatment time by up to 30% less time in braces. The length of treatment time will depend greatly on the severity of your orthodontic case.
