Orthodontic Consultations

Specialist orthodontists evaluate teeth alignment, bite issues, and jaw development to create custom treatment plans. Patients receive expert guidance on suitable options like braces or aligners. The process ensures informed decisions for optimal long-term oral health outcomes.

Traditional Metal Braces

Durable metal brackets and wires effectively correct complex alignment issues. This proven method suits most cases, offering reliable tooth movement for improved function and aesthetics through professional orthodontic supervision.

Clear Aligners

Removable plastic trays gradually reposition teeth for discreet treatment. Requires 22+ hours daily wear to achieve results in 6-24 months, depending on individual case complexity and patient compliance with orthodontist instructions.

Children's Orthodontics

Specialists assess children from age 7 to detect developing issues like overcrowding or bite problems. Early evaluation enables timely intervention when growth patterns make certain corrections more effective for long-term dental health.

Give a Smile Initiative

Provides free orthodontic treatment for low-income families through public dental referrals. Eligible patients receive care from volunteer specialists, ensuring access to essential services that might otherwise be financially unattainable for disadvantaged Australians.

Dr Ho is a knowledgeable and highly skillful professional. My last 3 years orthodontic experience with Dr ho has been very pleasant and rewarding. My teeth has been straightened, my biting has improved and my face shape has changed for the better, which was a bit of surprise to me

I had adult orthodontics at Dr Gareth Ho's practice. A brilliant result. Gareth was very efficient, always on time and infection control procedures were impeccable.

I just finished my treatment with Dr Ho and couldnt be happier with the results! I didnt expect it would look this good after treatment but I absolutely love my new smile. Dr Hos skill is exceptional, my case was very complex and yet Dr Ho ensured comfort and no pain throughout treatment with the best results. I wouldnt trust anyone else to handle the moving of my teeth. Thank you so much Dr Ho!
