Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a referral to see Dr Nino?

No, a referral is not necessary to see a specialist orthodontist like Dr Gullotta. We do recommend having a general dental check-up before starting treatment though, just to make sure there are no underlying issues like decay or gum disease that need to be addressed first. Your overall dental health is just as important to us as your smile.

Your first visit includes a full orthodontic assessment, X-rays, digital scans and photos. Dr Nino will take the time to understand your goals and walk you through your options without any pressure.

Orthodontic treatment is ideally started during adolescence, between ages 10 and 14, when natural growth spurts make it easier to guide tooth and jaw alignment. In some cases, early intervention from around age 7 allows Dr Nino to identify and address issues before they become more complex.

That said, it’s never too late. More adults than ever are choosing orthodontic treatment for both their dental health and their confidence. Whatever your age, we’ll find the right approach for you.

LightForce brackets are 3D-printed to fit your teeth exactly; no two are the same. This means more precise tooth movement, greater comfort and often faster results than standard braces.

Treatment length varies depending on the complexity of each case, anywhere from several months to a couple of years. Dr Nino will give you a clear, personalised estimate after your initial assessment. The treatment process typically involves regular appointments to adjust braces or other orthodontic appliances. These appointments ensure that the teeth are moving as planned and that the treatment is progressing effectively.

The best thing you can do to keep things on track? Follow Dr Nino’s recommendations and keep up with your regular oral hygiene routine.

We offer a full range of treatments to suit every age, case and lifestyle:

  • Braces: These are the most common type of orthodontic treatment. They consist of metal or ceramic brackets and wires that gradually move teeth into the desired position.
  • Functional appliances: These devices are used to correct issues with the jaw and bite. They can be removable or fixed.
  • Palatal expanders: These are used to widen the upper jaw in cases of crowding or bite issues.

Orthodontic treatment offers several benefits, including:

  • Improved oral health: Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of dental issues like cavities and gum disease.
  • Enhanced self-esteem: A straight, attractive smile can boost one’s self-confidence and overall well-being.
  • Better speech and chewing function: Orthodontic treatment can improve speech and make it easier to bite and chew food.
  • Correction of bite issues: Orthodontics can address overbites, underbites and crossbites, which can impact jaw function and facial symmetry.

There is an unmetered 2P section out the very front of the building, however there are limited spaces. All other parking is 2P metered.
