Frequently Asked Questions

What is orthodontic treatment?
Orthodontics diagnoses and corrects misaligned teeth, crowded arches, overbites, underbites, and jaw discrepancies using braces or clear aligners.
What is the best age for an orthodontic consultation?
An initial orthodontic evaluation is recommended around age 7 to 9 to detect early jaw growth issues, though treatment can be successfully undertaken at any age.
What is the difference between traditional braces and clear aligners?
Traditional braces use metal or ceramic brackets fixed to teeth. Clear aligners (like Invisalign) use removable, virtually invisible plastic trays to straighten teeth.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
Treatment duration ranges from 6 to 24 months depending on the severity of overcrowding, bite complexity, and patient compliance.
Are orthodontic consultations covered by private health insurance?
Yes, private health insurance extras policies with Orthodontic cover provide substantial rebates. We provide detailed itemized fee quotes.
Is orthodontic treatment painful?
You may experience mild pressure or soreness for 2 to 4 days after fitting or adjusting aligners/braces, which is easily managed with mild analgesics.
Do I need retainers after orthodontic treatment?
Yes! Wearing custom retainers at night is essential to prevent teeth from drifting back toward their original positions post-treatment.
Can adults get orthodontic treatment?
Absolutely! Over 30% of orthodontic patients are adults seeking discreet aesthetic alignment using clear aligners or tooth-colored ceramic brackets.
Does CDBS cover orthodontic treatment?
No. The Medicare Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) excludes cosmetic and orthodontic care.
How do I clean my teeth while wearing braces?
Use an interdental brush, floss threader, or water flosser around brackets and wires, combined with twice-daily fluoridated brushing to prevent white spot decay.
