In many cases, braces or clear aligners can achieve the desired outcome. However, braces may be the better choice for some patients with more complex bite concerns.
The best way to determine the right orthodontic treatment for your smile is to book an evaluation with a specialist orthodontist like Dr Daniela at Sunrise Orthodontics.
During an evaluation, she'll use an exam, x-rays, photos, and digital impressions to determine your needs and then create a customised treatment plan.
She'll review your treatment options, discuss timelines for completing your new smile, and what the cost will be. You'll leave with a clear understanding of your treatment needs and the plan to achieve your smile goals.
When Should I Have an Orthodontic Evaluation?
Children should have their first orthodontic evaluation around age seven to nine to see if early orthodontic treatment would benefit them.
Most kids start orthodontic treatment around age 12 and should have an evaluation at that time.
Adults can have an orthodontic evaluation whenever they think the treatment might be beneficial. Some adults never had the chance to align their teeth during adolescence, while others may have had previous orthodontic treatment but have experienced tooth movement or shifting since then.
We welcome your call to our Erina orthodontic clinic if you'd like to arrange a booking with Dr Daniela.
