Orthodontists are registered dental specialists who focus purely on the correct position of the teeth, improving the occlusion (bite) of teeth as well as the appearance of the jaws and face.

Smile Solutions would not be complete without our own registered specialist orthodontists; we have offered our patients resident orthodontist care for more than 15 years. At Smile Solutions we cater for all your orthodontic needs in the one location. Our general dentists can refer you for specialist orthodontic treatment within our multidisciplinary team of registered dental specialists.
