Whether you're exploring braces for your child, considering clear aligners as an adult, or looking for guidance after a recommendation from your dentist, our team is here to help you understand your options clearly and comfortably.
Orthodontic care is about more than appearance alone. Proper alignment can support oral function, bite balance, and long-term dental health at every age.
At Wavescape Orthodontics, we provide personalised treatment plans for children, teenagers, and adults, taking the time to understand each patient's goals, concerns, and stage of development before recommending care.
From early interceptive assessments through to complex orthodontic planning, our approach is centred around clear communication, careful diagnosis, and ongoing support throughout treatment.
Many general dentists refer patients to orthodontists when they identify alignment or bite concerns, particularly in children and teenagers where timing can play an important role in future development.
If your dentist has suggested an orthodontic assessment, that's a great reason to book a consultation.
You do not need a referral to see us, however. Patients are welcome to contact our team directly at any time.
BOOK A CONSULTATIONOrthodontists complete an extra three years of full-time postgraduate university training in teeth and jaw alignment, on top of their dental degree.
For straightforward alignment concerns, your family dentist remains an important part of your ongoing dental care. Where orthodontic concerns become more complex, specialist orthodontic training can help guide treatment planning.
BOOK A CONSULTATIONIt's one of the questions we hear most often, and the answer is usually earlier than many parents expect. The Australian Society of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic assessment around age 7, when children generally have their front adult teeth present.
That does not mean treatment starts at age 7. For many children, the appointment simply allows us to monitor how the teeth and jaws are developing and determine whether anything may require monitoring over time.
Some orthodontic concerns may be easier to manage when identified earlier during growth and development.
