About Our Orthodontics

Orthodontic care involves the treatment and correction of crooked or misaligned teeth, correction of an overbite or underbite, correct crossbites, and close gaps and spaces in between teeth.

Our professional dentists are able to provide expert orthodontic care to our patients of all ages. Different issues require different treatments such as braces or aligners.

Orthodontics for Children, Teens, and Adults

Most orthodontic care is done while we are young, and most often, this means teenagers. However, we work with patients of all ages to treat any orthodontic need. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to our care, and we are prepared to handle patients with different needs of different ages.

<b>Braces vs. SureSmile® Aligners</b>

Braces vs. SureSmile® Aligners


Straightening and correcting misaligned teeth often require the use of braces or aligners. Braces are metal frames and wires that are attached to the teeth and gradually tightened and straighten to pull the teeth into formation. 

SureSmile® trays are a more modern approach to straightening teeth. Custom trays are fitted and formed to the individual’s mouth. Every two weeks or so, the trays are swapped out, and a new one is used.

The trays are virtually undetectable, whereas the braces are very obvious. Many patients prefer to use the Invisalign method because they are less noticeable while being used. They can also be removed for eating, while braces cannot be. 

However, while the SureSmile® trays are great for straightening teeth, braces are more ideal for managing overbites and underbites, and for closing significant gaps.

What does orthodontic treatment involve?

Orthodontic treatment focuses on correcting various dental issues such as crooked or misaligned teeth, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and gaps between teeth. Our experienced dentists offer personalised orthodontic care tailored to each patient's unique needs, utilising treatments such as braces or aligners to achieve optimal results.

Is orthodontic treatment only for teenagers?

While orthodontic care is commonly associated with teenagers, we provide orthodontic treatment for patients of all ages, including children and adults. Whether you're a child, teen, or adult, our skilled team is equipped to address your orthodontic needs and help you achieve a straighter, healthier smile.

How do I know if I need orthodontic treatment?

If you have concerns about the alignment of your teeth, bite issues, or spacing problems, you may benefit from orthodontic treatment. Schedule a consultation with our orthodontic experts at Ocean Dental Port Macquarie to assess your smile and explore treatment options tailored to your specific needs and goals.
