25.01.2022 Wisdom teeth often don't have room to grow properly and can cause problems. Erupting wisdom teeth can grow at various angles in the jaw, sometimes even horizontally. Some dentists recommend removing wisdom teeth if they don't fully emerge. Many dentists believe it's better to remove wisdom teeth at a younger age, before the roots and bone are fully formed, and when recovery is generally faster after surgery. Wisdom teeth removal may be necessary if you experience changes in the area of those teeth, such as pain and repeated infection.

25.01.2022 About 1 hour is all it takes for braces to be put on. The process may feel weird, but it's definitely not uncomfortable or painful

24.01.2022 When you put an orthodontist in charge

23.01.2022 Happy School Holidays! Give us a call to book your appointment.

22.01.2022 Happy New Year! See you back on Monday!

21.01.2022 Does your child have a speech impediment? A lisp or difficulty speaking can occasionally be caused by a misaligned jaw or crooked teeth. Your orthodontist will be able to assess whether it is an issue that can be corrected with orthodontic treatment or if it will require speech therapy.

20.01.2022 Clear aligners are one of the most popular orthodontic treatments for adults. Often known by the manufacturer’s name, such as Invisalign, they are hailed as ‘invisible braces’ due to their subtle appearance. The aligners are transparent and custom-made to fit snugly on your teeth, like a small mouthguard. For adults who want to change the appearance of their teeth without any obvious apparatus, the benefit of clear aligners is clear!

20.01.2022 ‘Tis the happy season. Ask us about treating yourself to Invisalign in 2021.

19.01.2022 We recommend that children first visit us at the age of seven, however we may not begin treatment until much later. An early visit will ensure our doctors can spot and diagnose orthodontic problems early and recommend a treatment plan. As children are growing and developing, issues such as abnormal bite or malocclusion are usually easier to correct. #baldivis #baldivisdentist #baldivishealth

18.01.2022 Whats the difference between straightening and aligning? Straightening teeth involves rotating and gently moving crooked teeth to bring them in line with their neighbours. This primarily relates to the front six teeth as these are the teeth that are seen when most people smile. When your orthodontist talks about aligning your jaw, theyre referring to your bite. Even minor misalignments can cause difficulties later in life if the problem isnt corrected.

18.01.2022 Tooth enamel is the hard, outer surface layer of your teeth that serves to protect against tooth decay. In fact, tooth enamel is considered the hardest mineral substance in your body, even stronger than bone.

17.01.2022 If your teen has been told they need orthodontic treatment, they might be nervous about getting braces. While research shows 70% of Aussie kids are excited when they find out theyll need braces, its understandable that some may feel less enthused at the prospect. While metal braces are one of the most effective treatment options for young people, there are other treatments available. Speak to us about it today.

17.01.2022 Even a forced smile can lead to a mood boost. Usually we think that a positive experience is what makes us smile. While this is true, it's also true that merely deciding to smile can provide a positive experience. As Buddhist author Thich Nhat Hanh said, "Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy." Even research subjects directed to place a pencil between their teeth, forcing their lips into a smile, actually feel better. Odd, but true.

17.01.2022 Accessories come and go, but those pearly whites are always with you front and centre.

17.01.2022 There’s a common misconception that getting braces for your teeth is chiefly about aesthetics. First impressions are important in our image-conscious society, and a stunning smile can markedly alter the face you present to the world. However, while orthodontic treatment to align your teeth may well improve your confidence and job prospects, it will also alleviate or prevent serious medical issues that can arise as a result of a bad bite or misaligned jaw.

17.01.2022 We offer affordable, high-quality treatments to fit your budget. The cost associated with orthodontic treatment will vary depending on your individual treatment needs, and these will be discussed with you. For your convenience, we offer flexible payment plans to help meet your needs. We accept payment by EFTPOS, Visa, MasterCard and Direct Deposit.

17.01.2022 Spring has sprung! Looking forward to warmer weather.

16.01.2022 A smile always helps. But this rain is sure testing us all...

16.01.2022 Flash those teeth!

16.01.2022 Dr Bond graduated from UWA School of Dentistry in 2000. As a dentist, Graeme worked at Perth Dental Hospital, Princess Margaret Hospital for Children and as a Clinical Supervisor at UWA. He also worked in private practices in Perth and rural WA. Graeme is well versed in all aspects of orthodontic treatment and has a special interest in early treatment and development of the face and jaws.

16.01.2022 With school holidays around the corner, spots are filling up fast for appointments. Please give us a call to book.

15.01.2022 What does a dentist call their x-rays? Tooth-pics!

15.01.2022 Don’t know where to start? Give us a call, or pop in, and we’ll explain how and when to start your orthodontic journey.

14.01.2022 A palate expander is an orthodontic appliance designed to widen the upper jaw (maxilla). It is mainly used for correcting the posterior dental cross bite, relieving dental crowding, widening the smile arc, and widening the floor of the nasal cavity to improve the nasal airflow. Palatal expanders work best in children or adolescents.

14.01.2022 Apart from metal braces, there is also ceramic. They do the same job, except that theyre made out of a tooth-coloured porcelain material instead of stainless steel. Their benefit it that theyre much less obvious, which is why theyre often referred to as clear braces and are a popular choice among appearance-conscious adults.

14.01.2022 Please give us a call to sort our your appointments.

14.01.2022 'Tis also the season of increased sugar intake, so don’t forget to add some extra teeth cleaning! For any emergencies during the break, please call the office and leave a message - we will be checking them regularly.

14.01.2022 Wishing all dads a wonderful day!

14.01.2022 Happy Friday! Lets see how many braces related puns we can find!

13.01.2022 Smile, it’s Friday!

13.01.2022 Naughty teeth get put behind bars.

12.01.2022 We are back and welcoming new appointments.

12.01.2022 Hands up if your New Year’s resolution is to fix your smile!

12.01.2022 More dentist humour.

11.01.2022 Look what we found in the bookshop! Has anyone read it?

10.01.2022 One of the lesser known benefits of having straight teeth is that the jawbone will remain strong Spacing between the teeth and a misaligned jaw can cause unwanted pressure on the teeth and gums, which, in turn, can lead to the breakdown of the bones that support the teeth and, ultimately, pain and tooth loss. Having straight teeth and a healthy bite can keep your jawbone functioning at its best.

10.01.2022 The only jewels it’s important to invest in.

09.01.2022 Your toothbrush should be changed regularly, especially after you fall sick.

08.01.2022 The full set of permanent teeth (excluding the wisdom teeth) usually comes through between the ages of 10 to 14 years. Should your child have delayed loss or delayed replacement of a baby tooth, you should see a dentist or orthodontist to determine the cause of the delay. A tooth that fails to erupt into the mouth at the expected time is called an Impacted Tooth.

08.01.2022 Braces are complicated! And while theyre strong, they arent indestructible. Wires can protrude with teeth movement, brackets may become loose, and abrasion can occur in the soft tissue of your mouth. If you cannot contact us, there are some short-term fixes. If the bracket is loose but attached, orthodontic wax may secure it until your appointment. ... If the wire is exposed, sugarless gum can protect the area for a short while. The wire can be snipped with sterilised nail clippers or cuticle scissors, but only as a last resort. Orthodontic wax can act like a band-aid.

07.01.2022 Most of us relaxed a bit over the stressful couple of months, but its time to again start looking after our long term health, our teeth definitely being high on that list.

07.01.2022 Hope you enjoyed this beautiful weekend.

06.01.2022 Fear of braces? No pliers, drills or needles are used. Braces are simply stuck on using tweezers and glue. 2 hours after your appointment however, you will start to feel some pressure as the wire begins to work. Discomfort usually peaks at 24 hours, after which the pain tends to subside, being completely gone usually by 48-72 hours.

06.01.2022 Did you know that teeth are always on the move! The gum and bone tissues that hold your teeth in place allow for slight, imperceptible changes in the teeth's position. Their natural ability to move is also the basis for orthodontics. Some studies indicate more than 70% of people will see significant changes in their bite as they age.

06.01.2022 Dental crowding can be quite uncomfortable. Most pain comes from teeth putting pressure on each other or causing your jaw to open at an odd or uncomfortable angle. Even when the malocclusion is isolated to a few teeth, it’s not uncommon for patients to feel pain in more than one area. Some people start to notice that all of their teeth are suddenly hurting without realising it can come from a small cluster of crowding.

06.01.2022 Straightening your teeth is one thing you will never regret.

06.01.2022 Now, that is a good result.

05.01.2022 There is always some worry that removing the braces will be painful, but in actual fact the process is quite painless.

05.01.2022 Most orthodontists are more than happy to help you arrange an affordable payment plan for your child’s orthodontic treatment. Spreading your payments out over installments can make it more manageable so you don’t get caught out short.

04.01.2022 Braces add glitter to your smile.

03.01.2022 Do straight teeth influence dating prospects? An actual scientific study says yes! The panel rated the photographs with the aligned teeth significantly more attractive than the other pictures. The sample was 237 undergraduate students who were over 18 years old and heterosexual. They excluded dental and psychology students. The average age was 23 years.

03.01.2022 You should see a general dentist at least once a year for check-ups and preventative treatment. This will ensure that issues are detected early and the right action is taken. Poor oral health is directly associated with major chronic diseases including cardiovascular and diabetes.

03.01.2022 You might be told that you have your mothers eyes, or your dads nose, but has anyone ever said you have their teeth? While theyre less likely to be referenced, genetics and teeth are more closely linked than most people realise. Your genes may also make you predisposed for some types of gum disease. Or if you had problems with overcrowding in your mouth and required orthodontic treatment as a teen, then its highly likely your kids will have similar issues.

02.01.2022 With braces you’re already decorated for Christmas!
