At Eastern Suburbs Orthodontics, we prioritise a holistic approach to the orthodontic care that we provide. Dr Ben Piller will spend a significant amount of time studying your unique biological gifts and orthodontic needs to meticulously create a customised treatment plan using cutting-edge technology.
Dr Piller works closely with a number of highly-skilled cosmetic dentists and specialists who appreciate his attention to detail and approach to care. In many cosmetic dentistry cases, orthodontics is often considered the ideal first step to ensure favourable outcomes and long-lasting dentistry, as well as the greatest level of health, function and comfort.
Every patient presents with their own biological gifts and will be given a treatment duration estimate at their initial consultation appointment. Using the latest in diagnostic and educational tools, including digital imaging, interactive media and other resources, Dr Ben Piller will go over all aspects of your treatment.
As a general guideline, fixed appliance therapy (braces) typically requires 18-24 months of treatment. A complex case requiring extensive tooth movement including extractions, missing or impacted teeth can take up to 24-30 months.
Clear aligner therapy (Invisalign) can range anywhere from 6-30 months and depends on the complexity of treatment, which will be discussed at your initial consultation.
While orthodontic treatment does require a commitment of time, many of our patients proclaim that their new smile was well worth the effort.
A specialist orthodontist holds dual degrees in dentistry and orthodontics and is required to practice as a dentist for a number of years before embarking on further orthodontic specialty training. This additional study focuses on the growth and development of the face, jaws, teeth, occlusion (bite), biomechanics and treatment planning cases.
Specialist orthodontists dedicate their practice exclusively to orthodontics, treating everything from simple tooth alignment to resolving complex developmental and functional issues that can impact the quality of life.
When considering dental treatment such as restorations, veneers, crowns, bridges or implants, it’s essential to evaluate the foundation on which your new smile and bite will be built. Misaligned teeth should be corrected with orthodontics first to ensure that you finish with an ideal and stable cosmetic result, improving the longevity of your dental work.
Oral health disease, such as periodontitis, leads to gum recession and bone loss, which destroys the foundation supporting teeth and can result in tooth loss. Periodontal disease should always be assessed and treated prior to orthodontics or dental implants.
Misaligned teeth and bites also expose specific teeth to greater forces when chewing or from habitual behaviours such as tooth grinding. Dental implants require a stable and balanced occlusion, as this will help improve the longevity of your dental implant. Additionally, dental implants require adequate bone for support and integration. When natural teeth are angled, crooked or overcrowded, dental implant placement becomes limited, impacting not only the aesthetic outcome but also the function of the tooth. This is why an orthodontic assessment prior to implant placement is recommended.
