No, you do not require a referral from your general dentist to consult with us. Many of our patients come to us after being recommended to us by friends and family.
Here at SW Orthodontics, we believe that orthodontic treatment should be within the reach of all our patients. Health funds repay some of the cost of orthodontic treatment for members who have the appropriate level of dental insurance. We recommend you contact your specific health fund for information on what they will cover for your treatment. After carefully checking the premiums, conditions and level of rebate, work out whether you will be better off with insurance or not.
A child should be assessed for early childhood orthodontic treatment as early as age 8. Commencing orthodontic treatment early and while your child is still growing and has some of their baby teeth left, may increase the number of options for treatment.

Yes, we have payment plans to spread the payments to suit most budgets.
Yes, we strongly recommend you see your dentist every 6 months even while braces are on. Braces do not cause decay or gum disease but make plaque control more difficult. It is important for the dentist to check for early signs of decay and maintain healthy gums.
When braces are initially fitted, it is normal to experience some discomfort for a few days after adjustment. Our staff can advise you on how to manage this discomfort.
You will have been given a time for active fixed appliance treatment. This is an average time and depends on favourable growth, elastic co-operation and regular visits and non-breakages. Treatment time for traditional braces is estimated at 18 months to 2 years. Treatment using SureSmile can reduce this treatment time by up to 30 percent. The length of treatment time will depend greatly on the severity of your orthodontic case.
Traditional orthodontic treatment involves your orthodontist bending arch wires by hand. SureSmile on the other hand uses robotic technology to bend your arch wires according to your unique prescription. The benefit of this is that we can make multiple movements simultaneously.
