About The Orthodontic Specialist
The Orthodontic Specialist is a prevention-focused centre offering comprehensive orthodontic care for children, teens, and adults. The practice provides a full range of treatment options including clear aligners (Invisalign and Smartee), fixed braces, lingual braces, and specialist expansion techniques such as MARPE (adult expansion) designed to avoid extractions where possible.
Diagnostic imaging is central to the practice's approach. Advanced 3D CBCT scans assess bone density, airway volume, and expansion suitability, while orthodontic X-rays are taken only when clinically required. The practice also arranges sleep screening and functional assessments if airway or sleep concerns are identified during consultation, recognising the link between orthodontics and overall wellbeing.
Treatment is tailored to individual needs across all age groups, from early intervention in children to comprehensive adult orthodontics. Removable retainers are included with fixed braces treatment. Whether you're seeking discreet clear aligner therapy, traditional fixed braces, or advanced expansion options, The Orthodontic Specialist combines detailed assessment with personalised care to support your journey to better alignment and oral health.
