      Orthodontics means “to move teeth”. We use braces and other modern appliances such as Invisalign to straighten your smile.


      When should orthodontic treatment be started ?

      Orthodontic treatment can be started at any age. We strongly recommend that the first consultation is at about 7 or 8 years of age. This allows any simple intervention to be made early to ensure that when your child is ready for braces treatment. A growing number of adults are also seeking orthodontic treatment for more youthful smiles later in life. There is no age restriction for orthodontic treatment and various options are available to suit your lifestyle and budget.

      Every person is different. On average most patient’s wear braces for 18 to 24 months. For more simple problems it may be much less.

      An Orthodontist is a dentist that has undertaken an approved post graduate university course (Full time for three years) which makes them registrable with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency. This makes them a Specialist in orthodontics – Similar to how a GP doctor is different to a heart doctor (Cardiologist). All of our doctors are specialist orthodontists. All orthodontists are dentists, not not all dentists are orthodontists.
