Thinking about orthodontic treatment? It’s never too late!

Orthodontic care isn’t just for teens anymore. More adults than ever before are seeking treatment, and thanks to modern technology, it’s now easier, more comfortable, and more discreet than ever. “As we age are teeth continue to move, so crowded teeth in adults will only continue to get worse if not corrected.” says Dr. Igor Lavrin, Specialist Orthodontist at L&L Orthodontics.

Early Intervention: Orthodontics for Kids

The Australian Society of Orthodontists (ASO) recommends that children have an orthodontic consultation from the age of 7. An early orthodontic assessment can identify crowding, bite issues or jaw misalignment while your child’s mouth is still developing. We may not always begin treatment immediately, but monitoring growth means we can step in at just the right time if needed.

Teen Treatment

For many, the teenage years are when orthodontic treatment begins, most commonly this is around11 and 12 years of age. This can be an ideal time to go through orthodontic treatment as all of the adult teeth have erupted, but facial growth is still occurring. Often this stage is when orthodontic treatment can be most simple, comfortable and non-invasive.

At L&L Orthodontics we offer most advanced and discreet treatment options, including Spark clear aligners and LightForce™ 3D braces, which are custom-made for each tooth. Want to show some personality? Teens can still customise their LightForce braces with coloured bands, just like traditional metal braces.

Treatment during this stage not only improves oral health, but can also support self-confidence at a crucial stage of development.

Adult Treatment

You are never too old to have Orthodontic Treatment. At L&L Orthodontics, we work with many adult patients who want to improve both the look and function of their smile. We’ll help you find a solution that suits your smile goals and lifestyle.

Today’s orthodontic treatments such as clear aligners and LightForce 3D braces, are smarter, sleeker and more comfortable than ever before, plus with the Dental Monitoring app included in all treatments, we can remotely track your treatment progress. This means you won’t have to come in for nearly as many appointments, and you can connect with our clinical team any time you need to through the app.
