PERSONAL CONSULTATION
Your first consultation with Dr Nino is personal, a chance to ask questions and explore your options.
Your first consultation with Dr Nino is designed to give you a clear understanding of your smile and your treatment options.
We’ll start by talking about what’s brought you in, any concerns you have and what you’d like to achieve with your smile. This gives us a better understanding of what matters to you before we take a closer look.
There’s no one size fits all approach to orthodontic treatment and not everyone needs to start treatment straight away. Your first consultation is about understanding what’s happening with your teeth and bite, whether treatment is recommended and, if so, when the right time to begin may be.
You’ll receive clear advice from Dr Nino based on your individual needs, with the opportunity to ask questions and consider your options before deciding what comes next.
To help us prepare for your first visit, we ask all new patients to complete a Medical History Form before their appointment. This helps our team understand your health background and ensure that your orthodontic care is safe, personalised and tailored to your needs.

Choosing orthodontic treatment is a significant decision and who plans your treatment matters. At Gullotta Orthodontics, your care is led by specialist orthodontist Dr Nino Gullotta, who has dedicated his career to orthodontics and has been treating Gold Coast patients since 1987.
That specialist focus, combined with careful treatment planning, attention to detail and modern technology, shapes the way we approach every case. We look beyond simply straightening teeth to consider your bite, long-term oral health and the result as a whole.
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.
