Orthodontics is the specialty of dentistry that focuses on the diagnosing, preventing and treating problems in the alignment of the teeth and jaws. Orthodontic treatment involves using braces, clear aligners plates, and other corrective devices to move teeth and jaws into normal alignment. It may involve changing the position of the teeth or modifying the way the jaw grows.
An orthodontist is a dentist who has undertaken an additional two or three years of full-time study and clinical training at university (usually a Masters degree) so they can specialise in orthodontics. This extra study is on top of the five years spent training as a general dentist. Orthodontists are the most qualified to diagnose, prevent and treat problems you may have in the alignment of your teeth and jaws.
No, a referral is not necessary to see a specialist orthodontist like Dr Gullotta. You should, however, have a general dental check-up before you start any orthodontic treatment. This is because there may be some dental problems eg dental decay or gum disease that may need to be addressed before orthodontic treatment can begin.
Dr Nino Gullotta is a leading Gold Coast Orthodontist with over 35 years of specialist experience. Over this time has delighted thousands of patients with exceptional orthodontic care. Dr Gullotta is also rated as one of the top 3 orthodontists on the Gold Coast according to threebestrated.com.au.

Orthodontic treatment is optimally initiated during adolescence (ideally between age 10 and 14) when growth spurts aid in addressing tooth and jaw alignment. In some cases, early intervention, starting around age 7, allows orthodontists to detect and treat issues before they become complex. Have a look at how to set your child up for their future and our Blog When Should a Child See an Orthodontist.
Nonetheless, the advantages of orthodontic treatment are not limited to adolescence. Many adults pursue orthodontic care for both dental health and aesthetics, emphasising that it’s never too late to improve one’s smile. Read our Blog on 5 Reasons why 20 Somethings are Having Orthodontic Treatment.

There are various orthodontic treatment options available for children, including:
The duration of orthodontic treatment can vary depending on the complexity of the issues being addressed. In general, treatment can last anywhere from several months to a few years. The orthodontist will provide a more accurate estimate after assessing your child’s specific case. The treatment process typically involves regular appointments to adjust braces, aligners, or other orthodontic appliances. These appointments ensure that the teeth are moving as planned and that the treatment is progressing effectively. It’s important to follow the orthodontist’s recommendations and maintain good oral hygiene to help expedite the treatment process.
