16.01.2022 Whether youre beginning the foundation or youre finishing off the second storey......the purposeful way you continue to lay the bricks matters. There are no ...shortcuts. . Of equal (and often more importance)....the people that support what youre building, who show up without fail, support your efforts, and roll up their sleeves to sweat alongside you... . Our newest member (pictured) came to us 15 months ago after spending a few years concentrating on work and family.....and not so much on fitness. Today he passed theMill initiation process and became a full member. This is credit to him, to taking no shortcuts, to consistency, to turning up to every session, to putting in the work. . Too many people want an easy route, a magic pill and come with a bucket of excuses. . The reality is, its really quite simple. You work You reap. . Ready to work?

13.01.2022 GREAT NEWS - Joseph has been located safe and well. Many thanks to the community for their assistance. ---------- A white Mitsubishi Pajero Sports, registratio...n 1HCG461, was stolen from Napier St about 8:40pm, with the car owner’s seven year old boy inside. The boy has short light brown hair and a slim build. He was wearing an orange hoodie with dinosaur motif, green shorts and black thongs. If you have seen this boy or the vehicle or know of it's current whereabouts please ring Police immediately on 000.

12.01.2022 Ectopic eruption of a first permanent molar is a common occurrence in the developing mixed dentition. Proper management is a challenge, but crucial to a healthy... occlusion. Non-treatment can result in the early loss of the second primary (baby) molar, space loss, and the impaction of the upper second premolar teeth. The early loss of baby teeth can result in the molars moving forward and encroaching upon the space reserved for the unerupted adult teeth in the front (anterior) of the mouth. Utilizing sophisticated biomechanic techniques and customized appliances, Dr Siva was able to move this young patients molars backwards (aka molar distalisation) to create the space necessary for all of the adult teeth to sit in perfect alignment in the arch. A superb outcome for a very complex orthodontic case. #seetheexpert @ Jandakot, Western Australia

12.01.2022 A delightful young fellow visited my office not long ago with insufficient space for the eruption of his upper canine teeth. We explored the options that were available to address the issue, which included the removal of four healthy premolar teeth. Instead, Dr John Winters safely and easily placed two Benefit Palatal Implants @benefit_applications @benedictwilmes and we produced a customised 3D printed Hybrid Hyrax Distalizer appliance through our friends in Switzerland @dentaldigital1. The upper first molar teeth were successfully moved back in the arch, making space for the wayward canine to erupt safely into the arch. The orthodontic management was performed by @drsivagram

12.01.2022 Orthodontics requires a precise understanding of complex biomechanical principles. What are the qualifications and experience of your Orthodontist? What is thei...r track record in delivering exceptional orthodontic outcomes? Dr Siva has trained at leading institutions including UWA, the University of Sydney and Harvard University and Boston Childrens Hospital. He has also undertaken advanced study with one of the worlds leading biomechanical experts, Dr Giorgio Fiorelli, in Italy in 2015, and they have recently co-authored a textbook on Orthodontic Biomechanics. Our results speak for themselves. #orthodonticsonberrigan #specialistorthodontics #drsiva #drsivavasudavan #seeaspecialist #bracesinperth #bestorthodontist #perthorthodontist #straightteeth #invisalign #perfectsmile

12.01.2022 According to the American Association of Orthodontists, every child should see Dr Siva, our specialist orthodontist, by the age of 7 years. Contact our office to schedule your consultation with the expert.

06.01.2022 April is Autism Awareness Month. During this COVID-19 time changes to peoples norms have had to occur.

04.01.2022 Impacted teeth can hide below the surface and often do damage without you realising. This is why it is so important to have a full consultation with an orthodontist before starting your treatment!

04.01.2022 EXERCISES IN ORTHODONTIC BIOMECHANICSIn December 2019 I was writing: Hello friends, it has been a rather long time with no posts on this page, too many trips, courses and little time for Facebook.

04.01.2022 In Australia many families are concerned on how to address the pandemic with their kids and how to keep healthy during isolation. Paediatrician and infectious d...iseases specialist Professor Jonathan Carapetis explains how parents should explain the pandemic to their children.

03.01.2022 Time to take a closer look at your supermarket purchases. Theyre not as healthy as you might think. Being healthy is something that most of us aim for.... We brush our teeth twice a day. We go for a jog around the neighbourhood. We eat a handful of nuts instead of chomping on a chocolate. We see our doctor whenever we dont feel well. But are you aware that all your good work could be being undone by sugars lurking in the depths of many of the processed food items you consume? Sugar is everywhere in supermarket staples, even some that might appear to be healthy on the surface, and so this Dental Health Week (3 - 9 August | dentalhealthweek.com.au), were pulling back the sugary curtain to show you whats really in the food you eat, and how this information can help you be healthier all over but especially in your mouth. In other words, we want you to become more sugar savvy. Dental Health Week is an annual event run by the Australian Dental Association which aims to make everyone aware of the key things they need to do to keep their teeth and gums healthy. Hiding in plain sight You might think that a little extra sugar here and there isnt such a big deal, but the odds are that you are taking in far more than you realise. Figures show that the average Australian is consuming 14 teaspoons of sugar a day, a whole lot more than the maximum six teaspoons a day recommended by the World Health Organisation for increased health benefits such as decreasing the risk of tooth decay, which is having a profoundly negative effect on Australias dental health as revealed by Australias Oral Health Tracker (ada.org.au/oralhealthtracker). To help you get within the recommended range, and be healthier into the bargain, this years Dental Health Week is all about showing you what daily sugar consumption level looks like in relation to the food you eat, how to read a food label so you can see whats really in your food, and how sugar can negatively affect your dental health.
