Choosing orthodontic treatment is a big decision. Whether you’re considering braces, Invisalign, or treatment for your child, one of the most important questions to ask is: who will actually be planning and overseeing my care?
At Aligned Orthodontics, the answer is simple and reassuring, every private patient is seen and treated by a specialist orthodontist. From your first consultation through to your final smile, your care is personally overseen by experienced specialists who focus exclusively on orthodontics.
Why Seeing a Specialist Orthodontist Matters
Orthodontics is a highly specialised field of dentistry. A specialist orthodontist has completed additional years of dedicated postgraduate training focused solely on diagnosing, preventing, and correcting misaligned teeth and jaws.
This level of expertise means:
More accurate diagnosis and treatment planning
A wider range of treatment options
Care tailored to complex or subtle orthodontic needs
Close monitoring throughout treatment for the best long-term results
At Aligned Orthodontics, this specialist approach is not reserved for a select few, it’s the standard for every private patient.
