Orthodontics

Orthodontics is a field of dentistry that specialises in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of dental and facial irregularities in children and adults.

Orthodontic treatment will enhance the appearance and wellbeing of your teeth and can improve jaw function. Some experts suggest that as many as seven out of ten individuals would find value in orthodontic treatment at some stage.

At Pacific Smiles Dental, we have Orthodontists across the region, so you can find an appointment at a time and location that suits you.

The cost of orthodontic treatment will vary from patient to patient, depending on individual needs. We recognise that each case is unique and take pride in providing tailored treatment plans that suit your specific requirements. During your initial consultation, your experienced Orthodontist will evaluate your concerns and expectations, creating a personalised treatment plan with your needs in mind.

Orthodontic treatment is a specialised dental service aimed at correcting misaligned teeth and jaws to improve your oral health, aesthetics, and overall well-being. It involves a comprehensive process that typically begins with an initial consultation, during which your experienced Orthodontist will discuss your treatment goals. A custom treatment plan is then created to address your needs, with check-up appointments scheduled throughout the treatment to ensure progress is on track. The duration of treatment varies from person to person, but the end goal is an aesthetically aligned smile and improved oral function.
