Braces & Othodontics


Dr. Tim provides in house orthodontic treatment to suitable patients. Treatments are provided on an as needed basis and thorough initial records and planning are required before any final estimates can be given. He uses a combination of tried and true orthodontic techniques and modern technologies to provide a customised, individualised care to his patients. The frequently used treatment options he provides include:

  • Damon Braces are an orthodontic system of metal braces. These high precision metal brackets are custom selected per tooth depending on movement requirements are combined with thermally activated superelastic wires to move teeth using the lightest force levels possible.

    These braces differ from traditional braces in that they allow the wire to move more freely meaning less force can be applied to teeth and they do not need coloured bands around the brackets, These coloured bands can be added on request.

  • Spark aligners are a clear aligner system similar in nature to Invisalign

    Powered by a combination of careful planning, skilled technicians and powerful AI technology Spark aligners digitally model the movement of the teeth and create a series of clear plastic trays to be worn 22-23 hours per day to efficiently move the teeth into their ideal positions.

    Clear aligners are much more subtle than regular braces but will involve tooth coloured attachments that look like small bumps on some teeth to allow greater control.

  • Lingual Braces using the Harmony System are a series of custom made brackets and wires that function similar to Damon braces but instead of being on the outside of the teeth that people can see these braces are attached to the teeth on the tongue side.

    Lingual braces are the most invisible option with nothing visible from the outside.
