Questions for your Coburg North Dentist
Understanding your dental needs can sometimes seem complex, but your friendly team at Coburg Hill Oral Care is always available to answer your questions and provide the essential information you need. On this page, we have shared some of the questions we hear most often but invite you to contact our dental practice if you have a different concern.
Clear Aligners
Yes! Dr Judith, Dr Andrew and Dr Sora provide orthodontic care. After an assessment, we can explain whether clear aligners, braces or another approach may suit you or your child.
What we look at during your assessment
We look at how your teeth, gums and jaws are developing and how your upper and lower teeth fit together. We talk with you about what you would like to change, such as crowding, gaps or a bite that doesn’t feel right. We may take x-rays or scans if they are needed.
The options we may discuss
- Traditional braces: Brackets and wires fixed to the teeth. They suit many children and teens, and some adults.
- Clear aligners: Custom-made, removable plastic trays that are less noticeable. They may suit some teens and adults, and need to be worn as directed.
- Another approach: For some children, the best next step may be to monitor growth and come back later. Others may need other treatment first, such as fillings or gum care.
