Treatment plans are customised to the patient s individual needs using our 4-step methodology (see page 9).? At Gullotta Orthodontics, we offer a comprehensive range of orthodontic services including almost invisible orthodontics such as Invisalign, lingual braces, clear ceramic brackets as well as the traditional braces. Advanced smile design We deliver great smiles to patients from all walks of life. Our goal is to give them a smile they will be proud of. Using modern concepts, we design stunning smiles to suit and complement individual facial features. Outstanding customer service We have a professional and empathic approach, but try to have fun, too. As part of our treatment plans, we offer education and information to our patients along the way. We also offer longer appointments so we can spend quality time with our patients but we still always run to schedule as we know your time is important. State-of-the-art treatments Dr Gullotta combines the latest technological treatments with his extensive specialist experience to give our patients world class treatment and results. Recently our clinic has introduced: Insignia custom braces, which use advanced computer technology for accurate planning and forecasting of treatment results. The technology also helps make bespoke braces and custom-made arch wires, allowing for better results in shorter treatment times. Lythos 3D intra-oral video scanner, used to create digital CAD- CAM type images of teeth. This approach does away with the discomfort of impressions and is more accurate. AcceleDent, an intraoral device that is worn daily for 20 minutes. It uses patented technology to gently vibrate the teeth and the surrounding tissues. Early research suggests it improves blood flow around the teeth, resulting in less discomfort, greater tooth movement and shorter orthodontic treatment times. Treatment for all ages Any age is suitable for orthodontic treatment. However, the Australian Society of Orthodontists recommend children should be assessed around the age of 7. If there are obvious signs of crowding or crossbite, your dentist may detect a problem earlier.
