Orthodontic Treatment

Creating beautiful, healthy smiles for the whole family is one of our greatest joys at Bayswater Family Dental. Dr Russell Fine and our dedicated team are passionate about providing comprehensive orthodontic treatment that transforms not just your smile, but your overall oral health. Whether you're considering treatment for your child, teenager or yourself, we're here to guide you through every step of your orthodontic journey.

Comprehensive Care for All Ages

At Bayswater Family Dental, we believe that everyone deserves a straight, healthy smile regardless of age. Dr Fine provides comprehensive orthodontic treatment tailored to meet the unique needs of children, teenagers and adults. Our family-centred approach ensures that each patient receives personalised care in a comfortable, welcoming environment.

For our younger patients, we focus on interceptive orthodontics and early intervention strategies that can prevent more complex problems later. Teenagers benefit from our understanding of their social needs and our commitment to making treatment as convenient as possible, taking into account their school and activity schedules. Adult patients appreciate our discreet treatment options and flexible scheduling, which accommodates busy lifestyles.

The Life-Changing Benefits of Straight Teeth

Orthodontic treatment offers far more than just cosmetic improvements. Here are several additional advantages of having straight teeth.

Better Oral Health

Straight teeth are much easier to clean effectively, reducing your risk of developing tooth decay and gum disease. Properly aligned teeth allow for better plaque removal and more thorough oral hygiene.

Improved Function

Correctly positioned teeth and an aligned bite work together more efficiently, improving your ability to chew food properly and aiding digestion. This can reduce strain on your jaw muscles and joints.

Prevents Problems

Straight teeth may reduce excessive wear and tear patterns across your smile, lower the risk of chipped or broken teeth and they can prevent the painful jaw problems associated with bite misalignment.

Improved Speech

Properly aligned teeth and jaws can improve speech clarity and reduce lisping or other speech impediments caused by dental misalignment.

Cost Savings

Investing in orthodontic treatment now can prevent more expensive dental problems later, including complex restorative work and jaw surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions

When do you recommend braces over clear aligners?

The choice between traditional braces and clear aligners depends on several factors specific to your case. Dr Fine carefully evaluates each patient's orthodontic needs to recommend the most effective treatment option for achieving optimal results.

Understanding Orthodontic Treatment

Traditional braces in Bayswater are often the preferred choice for more complex orthodontic cases that require precise tooth movement and significant corrections. While clear aligners have advanced considerably and can address many alignment issues, braces remain the gold standard for specific conditions.

Dr Fine typically recommends braces in the following situations:

Severe crowding or spacing issues — When teeth require substantial movement or rotation that exceeds the capabilities of removable aligners
Complex bite problems — Addressing significant overbites, underbites or crossbites that need more forceful, controlled movement
Vertical tooth movement — When teeth need to be moved up or down significantly, braces provide better control for these movements
Young patients — Teenagers who may struggle with the discipline required to wear removable aligners for 20-22 hours daily
Rotated or tilted teeth — Severe rotations often respond better to the constant pressure provided by fixed braces
Multi-phase treatment — Complex cases requiring treatment over several years may benefit from the reliability of braces

Orthodontic Treatment Personalised for Your Needs

Many patients are excellent candidates for clear aligners, particularly those with mild to moderate alignment issues who value the aesthetic and lifestyle benefits that these aligners offer. During your consultation at our Bayswater dental clinic, Dr Fine will thoroughly discuss both options, considering your specific needs, lifestyle, and treatment goals to help you make the best decision for your smile.

Orthodontic Treatment Technology

Panoramic X-Ray

Our advanced panoramic x-ray system captures a complete view of your entire mouth, including your teeth, jaws and surrounding structures in a single, comprehensive image. This wide-angle digital radiograph provides Dr Fine with essential information for treatment planning, revealing wisdom teeth positioning, jaw joint health, sinus conditions and potential abnormalities that standard x-rays might miss.

The procedure is quick and comfortable, requiring you to simply stand still for a few seconds while the machine rotates around your head. Panoramic x-rays are particularly valuable for orthodontic planning, assessing wisdom teeth and detecting early signs of oral health issues, enabling proactive treatment approaches.
