Treatments

The right path to
your best smile.

No one-size-fits-all plans. Just specialist recommendations shaped around your needs.

01

Children & teens

Early diagnosis can help prevent more serious problems. We time treatment thoughtfully, so young patients aren't spending unnecessary years in braces.

02

Orthodontics for adults

There is no age limit to a healthier smile. Today's options are smaller, smoother and include clear ceramics and discreet aligner treatment.

03

Damon® braces

High-grade stainless steel braces designed with modern comfort in mind, with a clear ceramic option available for upper front teeth.

04

Clear Aligners (eg. Invisalign®)

A series of almost-invisible, removable aligners, digitally planned and custom-made for your teeth and orthodontic needs.

05

Surgical orthodontics

For complex jaw concerns, we coordinate specialist orthodontic treatment with appropriate surgical care as part of a multi-specialist team.

Good to know

Questions are
always welcome.

Starting orthodontic treatment is a big decision. Here are a few helpful answers to begin with.

Ask us something else

Some orthodontic concerns are best identified while your child still has some of their baby teeth. An early assessment does not always mean early treatment—it simply helps us understand your child's growth and recommend the right time to begin. We typically see children from around 9 years of age, although your dentist may recommend an earlier assessment if they notice concerns with your child's bite, tooth development or jaw growth.
