Braces in Point Cook

girl at orthodontistAt Sanctuary Lakes Family Dental, we provide comprehensive orthodontic solutions, including braces and SureSmile aligners, to help patients enjoy beautiful, healthy smiles for life. While our staff doesn’t do traditional braces treatment, a separate doctor comes to our practice whenever needed to provide this orthodontic service. This makes us uniquely equipped to offer smooth and organised treatment plans for our braces patients.

What to Expect: Consultation and Procedure

The process begins with a half-hour consultation where photos and models of your teeth are taken. This initial step helps us create a personalised treatment plan for your specific needs. If you’re visiting just for the consult, a full check-up and clean might be necessary so we can get clear and accurate images of your teeth.

Once the consultation is completed, your braces will be ready in approximately two weeks. We’ll install the braces during your next visit and guide you through each treatment step. We also provide follow-up visits every six weeks to monitor your progress.

The cost of braces starts from $5000.

The Importance of Early Intervention

We believe early intervention is key to reducing the need for complex or more expensive orthodontics in the future. Our dentist is well-versed in making space for teeth to grow, potentially making things much easier and less expensive in the long term.

That’s why we encourage parents to have their child assessed early for crowding or bite issues, so we can address any problems before they escalate.

SureSmile Clear Aligners

For those who prefer a more discreet option, SureSmile clear aligners might be the right choice. These are virtually invisible and more comfortable than metal braces. However, it’s important to wear your aligners for 22 hours daily, only removing them to eat and brushing your teeth.

Just like with traditional braces, the SureSmile treatment starts with a consultation to assess the condition of your bite. Photos and moulds are taken to show you a digital mockup of your treatment progress and the expected final result.

After your consultation and the necessary cleaning check, your clear aligners are sent to fabrication and are ready in two weeks. Each set is worn for two weeks before moving on to the next one. We provide aligners for six weeks at a time and schedule follow-up visits every six weeks to ensure your teeth are moving as expected, giving you the confidence of a beautiful smile.
