Services
Orthodontic Consultation
Our comprehensive orthodontic consultations assess dental alignment needs and develop personalized treatment plans. Specialists evaluate jaw development, tooth positioning, and facial aesthetics to recommend appropriate interventions. The $200 consultation includes diagnostic assessment and discussion of available treatment options.
Early Treatment
Specialised orthodontic interventions for children aged 8-12 address developing bite issues and dental crowding. Using appliances like expanders and partial braces, we guide jaw growth and create space for permanent teeth. Early treatment typically reduces future orthodontic complexity and treatment duration.
Braces
Customised fixed orthodontic systems using brackets and archwires to precisely align teeth and correct bite issues. Available in metal or ceramic options, treatment duration varies based on case complexity. Regular adjustments ensure gradual, controlled tooth movement for optimal functional and aesthetic outcomes.
Clear Aligners
Removable, transparent aligner systems for discreet teeth straightening. Custom-fabricated trays apply controlled forces to gradually reposition teeth. Particularly popular with adult patients seeking aesthetic solutions, treatment requires strict compliance with wear schedules for effective results.
Adult Orthodontics
Tailored orthodontic solutions for adults seeking improved dental alignment and bite function. Combining clear aligners and discreet braces with periodontal considerations, treatment addresses unique challenges of mature dental structures while achieving aesthetic smile transformations.

Highly recommend Edgecliff Orthodontics. We brought both of our children to consult with Christine and ended up having treatment for just one child. All of the staff are friendly and helpful. We're really happy with the fantastic results which were achieved in the time Christine predicted at our first consultation. Couldn't ask for a more professional team.
