Not Sure What Treatment You Need?
You do not need to know which type of treatment you need before visiting us. That is what your first consultation is for.
During your appointment, Dr Nino Gullotta will assess your teeth and bite, listen to your concerns and explain the options that may be suitable for you. You will also find out whether treatment is recommended now, later or not at all.
With more than 30 years of experience caring for Gold Coast patients, Dr Nino will give you clear, honest advice so you can make an informed decision without feeling rushed or pressured.
How Can Orthodontic Treatment Help?
People visit an orthodontist for many different reasons. You may have concerns about the appearance of your smile, the way your teeth fit together or how your child’s teeth are developing.
Orthodontic treatment may be recommended for:
- Crowded or overlapping teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Teeth that have come through in unusual positions
- An overbite, underbite or crossbite
- Protruding front teeth
- Difficulty biting or chewing
- A smile that feels uneven
- A bite that does not meet comfortably
You do not need to know exactly what the problem is before booking. Your first appointment is an opportunity to have your teeth and bite assessed and receive clear, personalised advice.
Orthodontic Care for Every Age
There is no single right age for orthodontic treatment. The best timing depends on how the teeth and jaws are developing and what needs to be corrected.
Orthodontics for Children
Not every child who visits an orthodontist needs braces straight away. An early assessment allows us to check how your child’s teeth, bite and jaws are developing. Some children simply need occasional reviews while more adult teeth appear, while others may benefit from treatment at an earlier stage.
Early care may be recommended to create room for adult teeth, manage a developing bite issue or guide teeth that are coming through in an unusual position.
Braces for Teenagers
The teenage years are a common time for braces because most adult teeth have appeared while the teeth and jaws are still developing. We make sure teenagers understand their treatment and feel comfortable asking questions. Each stage is explained clearly so they know what to expect and how to look after their braces.
Adult Orthodontics
It is never too late to ask about improving your teeth or bite. Adults visit us for many reasons, from long-standing crowding and bite concerns to teeth that have shifted over time. Your treatment plan will be shaped around your needs, lifestyle and the result you would like to achieve.
About Dr Nino Gullotta
Orthodontic treatment can take time, so choosing the right orthodontist is about more than qualifications. You want someone you can talk to, someone who listens and someone who will still know your story months into treatment.
That is the kind of relationship Dr Nino Gullotta works to build with every patient.
He takes the time to understand what matters to you, explain what is happening and address concerns as they come up. For parents, that means knowing their child is being treated with patience and care. For teenagers and adults, it means honest advice and clear answers without feeling rushed or pressured.
Dr Nino treats patients of all ages and particularly enjoys working with children. He wants younger patients to feel comfortable coming to appointments and proud of the progress they are making.
For him, the best part is not simply removing the braces. It is watching a patient look in the mirror, see their new smile and realise how far they have come.
Fees and Flexible Payment Options
You will receive a personalised treatment plan and clear fee information before deciding whether to proceed. Flexible payment arrangements are available to help spread the cost of treatment. Eligible patients may also be able to claim orthodontic benefits through their private health insurance, depending on their level of cover and remaining limits.
Our treatment coordinator will talk you through the available options and answer any questions about payment timing.
