At L&L Orthodontics, our Specialist Orthodontists have been creating confident smiles for Melbourne families for more than 25 years. With clinics located in the Melbourne CBD and Templestowe, we provide a full range of orthodontic treatments for children, teens and adults.
Whether you are currently wearing clear aligners, LightForce 3D braces, traditional metal braces, ceramic braces, or undergoing early orthodontic treatment, our team delivers personalised, evidence-based care using the latest technology.
If you are relocating, your current provider is closing, or you simply need to continue your orthodontic treatment elsewhere, we’re here to help make the transition as smooth as possible.
In many cases, patients can transfer the remainder of their treatment to L&L Orthodontics. As every case is different, transfers are assessed individually to ensure we can continue your treatment safely and effectively. Below is a guide to how the transfer process works.
Before scheduling an appointment, we ask transferring patients to submit photos using our Free Online Assessment. This allows our team to assess:
Please note that not all orthodontic appliances are the same. Some systems require specific replacement parts that may not be available outside the original practice. If this applies, our team will guide you on the best options available for you.
Patients currently undergoing Invisalign or clear aligner treatment may also need to complete a treatment transfer form.
This step helps ensure there are no surprises at your first visit and allows our team to prepare for your care.
Once we receive your photos and enquiry, one of our Specialist Orthodontists will carefully review your case. This review helps us understand:
To safely continue your treatment, we will require records from your current orthodontic provider. These typically include:
These records allow our orthodontists to understand your original treatment goals, assess your progress so far, and determine the most appropriate way to continue your care.
Once your photos and records have been reviewed and we confirm we can accept your transfer, our team will contact you to arrange a New Patient Consultation at either our Melbourne CBD or Templestowe clinic. During this visit:
Following the appointment, your orthodontist will determine the estimated remaining treatment time and provide information about any fees involved in completing your treatment with L&L Orthodontics.
After your appointment, your Treatment Coordinator will walk you through:
We make sure you have all the information you need to move forward with confidence.
Changing orthodontists during treatment can feel overwhelming, but our experienced team has successfully helped many patients continue and complete their orthodontic treatment.
If you are considering transferring your treatment, start by contacting our friendly team if you have any questions. We’re here to help make your transition simple, comfortable and stress-free.
If you require your braces to be removed and retainers made, please contact our team to see if we are able to assist.
