Services
Hidden Braces
Hidden braces are custom-fitted orthodontic appliances placed on the back of teeth for discreet alignment. Ideal for professionals and image-conscious patients, these braces use advanced CAD-CAM technology to ensure precision. Our Incognito appliances offer a virtually invisible solution while maintaining effective tooth movement.
Suresmile Technology
Suresmile utilizes 3D imaging and robotic wire bending to create precise treatment plans. This technology reduces treatment duration by up to 30% while improving accuracy. By simulating tooth movement digitally, we achieve optimal alignment with fewer adjustments required during treatment.
Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth without traditional brackets. Suitable for mild to moderate cases, these BPA-free plastic trays offer comfort and convenience while maintaining aesthetic appeal throughout the treatment process.
Orthognathic Surgery
Orthognathic surgery corrects severe jaw discrepancies through coordinated surgical and orthodontic treatment. This approach addresses functional issues like sleep apnea while improving facial aesthetics. We collaborate with specialist surgeons to deliver comprehensive care using digital planning for optimal outcomes.
Children's Orthodontics
We specialize in interceptive orthodontics for children aged 7+, focusing on guiding dental development. Our phased approach addresses crowding, bite issues, and jaw growth concerns early to potentially reduce future treatment complexity and duration.

Questions
What's the difference between a dentist and orthodontist?
Orthodontists complete 3+ years of specialist university training beyond general dentistry. Dr. Siva has over 10 years of advanced clinical training at institutions like Harvard University.
When should children see an orthodontist?
The Australian Society of Orthodontists recommends assessment by age 7 to identify potential issues with jaw development and tooth eruption.
Can adults get orthodontic treatment?
Yes, biological tooth movement works at any age. We offer discreet options like hidden braces and Invisalign for adults seeking improved alignment and oral health.
How long does treatment take?
Treatment typically lasts 18-24 months, but Suresmile technology can reduce duration by up to 30%. Phase 1 treatment for children may take 6-12 months.
Are braces painful?
Brace fitting is painless. Most patients experience mild discomfort for 2-3 days after fitting and adjustments. Modern flexible wires significantly reduce irritation compared to traditional methods.
