Up from the promenade
Two questions, and they come up almost every time
Adults from Bondi Beach, NSW want to know how noticeable treatment will be. Parents want to know whether their child is at the right stage to be looked at. Neither needs a long appointment to answer properly.
On visibility, ceramic brackets have quietly changed adult orthodontics — tooth coloured, fixed, and unremarkable at conversational distance. Aligners go further still, coming out for meals, swimming and photographs, which counts for more here than in most suburbs. The catch with trays is that they only work while they are in your mouth.
On timing, seven is the useful age for a first look, because enough adult teeth are through to show how the jaws are developing. It very rarely means starting then. Bondi Beach sits in the Waverley Council area and the run up Bondi Road takes about eight minutes, so neither conversation has to wait for a free day. More on our approach as an orthodontist in Sydney.

What we treat
Ceramic braces, aligners and children’s orthodontics
Ceramic braces are the most searched treatment from this postcode, with aligners close behind. Which suits you depends on what has to move and how much of the outcome you want resting on your own discipline.
Clear aligners
Removable trays. Out for meals, the surf and photographs — the appeal here is fairly obvious. Clear aligners →
Ceramic braces
Tooth coloured brackets, fixed. The most requested treatment locally, and for good reason. Ceramic braces →
Traditional braces
Steel brackets. Still the most capable option when the bite has to change. Traditional braces →
Early treatment for children
A first look around seven. Enough adult teeth are through to show how things are developing without waiting for the full set. Children’s orthodontics →
Adult orthodontics
Routine work, and discretion is nearly always the opening question. Adult orthodontics →
Retainers
What stops the result unwinding. Most adult relapse cases start with a retainer that stopped being worn. Retainers →

Your first visit
What happens when you come in
Allow around an hour for the first visit. You are welcome to bring a partner or parent, and there is no obligation to start treatment on the day.
01
We talk it through
We ask what brought you in. If it is a child, we ask them as well as you.
02
We examine and take records
An examination, then scans or x-rays only where needed. Recent x-rays from your dentist can stand in.
03
We explain the options
What is realistic, and honestly whether aligners will survive the life you have described.
04
You take it away
You take it home. Nothing is booked on the day.
Two practices, both easy to reach
Questions we are asked most often
Do I need a referral?
No. Book directly. Bring recent x-rays if you have been referred.
How far is the practice from Bondi Beach?
Eight minutes by car up Bondi Road, or the 333 or 380 from Campbell Parade to Bondi Junction. We are at 135 Edgecliff Road, Woollahra 2025.
Are ceramic braces as effective as metal?
Yes. They move teeth identically — the difference is a tooth coloured bracket instead of steel. Metal is marginally tougher and stays preferable for some complex corrections, and we will tell you if yours is one.
Do aligners work if I swim most days?
They can, because they come out for swimming, meals and photographs. The catch is they only work while worn, so they suit people who reliably put them back in. If the bite needs real correction, fixed braces may be the better answer regardless.
When should a child first be seen?
Around age seven, when enough adult teeth are through to show how the jaws are developing. Most first appointments end with a review date.
What is the difference between an orthodontist and a dentist?
Three additional years of full time specialist training in tooth movement and bite correction.
How often would I come in?
Short reviews, usually several weeks apart, so the run up Bondi Road is not frequent.
What will it cost?
We go through it at the assessment once the treatment is known. You get it in writing beforehand.
Come in for an assessment
One appointment tells you which appliance suits and how long it would run. Eight minutes up Bondi Road, no obligation to start.
We write separately about Bondi, North Bondi and Tamarama if one of those is closer to you.
