About our After-Hours Advice Line
Our After-Hours Advice Line isn’t a clinic or a call centre. We are, however, glad to help when something genuinely can’t wait. Our orthodontists will get back to you when they have an opportunity to respond to your request.
- We can give advice, but we may not always be able to see patients after hours. All repairs will need to be made by appointment.
- Messages received after 9pm will be answered the next morning.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
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 elseSome 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.
No. There is no age limit to seeking orthodontic care. We treat adults with options including braces, clear ceramics and Invisalign® where suitable.
Your first visit is a chance to discuss your concerns, understand suitable treatment options and goals, and ask questions. Our team will guide you through the next steps without pressure.
Appointment frequency depends on your individual treatment plan. Your orthodontist will explain the expected schedule before treatment begins and keep you informed throughout your care.
Yes. Regular dental check-ups and excellent oral hygiene remain important during orthodontic treatment. Your dentist and our specialist team each play an important role in your care.
