We were able to use the Dr John Lin technique, I.E. lower TADS with the Damon system, and achieve a very pleasing outcome. Class III jaws can be treated early, whilst there is growth remaining, if you wish to minimize the need for orthodontic extractions or surgery of the jaw.

21.01.2022 This Weeks #MahonySmile is Michael. Michael was a second opinion against serial extraction... IE having teeth removed to create the space.

21.01.2022 This weeks #mahonysmile is Ashley This young lady was referred to my practice by her Ear Nose & Throat Doctor based on her narrow upper jaw and lateral posterior crossbite. Our early intervention involved improving the airway and developing the upper jaw so that when Ashley was old enough for braces the time in fixed braces was very short, as the skeletal problems (Jaw asymmetry) had already been addressed. Ashley, and her mother, are extremely happy with the treatment outcom...e and we wish Ashley all the best for the future ensuring that she keeps wearing her retainer.

12.01.2022 Todays #MahonySmile is Joshua Joshua sought a second opinion against the extraction of teeth to make room for his dental crowding.

12.01.2022 This Weeks #MahonySmile is Bailey This young man presented to the practice with a deep overbite and was advised, by another doctor that the problem was due to the upper teeth. The previous treatment plan, offered by another clinician, was to pull the upper teeth back. Dr Mahony immediately realized that the lower jaw wasnt in the right position and he treated this young man without any upper teeth extractions, but rather by bringing the lower jaw forward using a MARA applia...nce. Both Bailey and his mother are extremely happy that A; they didnt have to take teeth out, and B; Her son's profile has improved dramatically.

12.01.2022 There is a big difference between a specialist providing braces, and a general dentist. Look at this segment from a recent ABC documentary, on the costs of braces, by a general dentist (National Average Prices) Please also remember that the best orthodontist in Sydney is not likely to be the cheapest you can find. Comparing prices between orthodontists can be difficult because orthodontists dont usually quote over the phone. Keeping a practice up to scratch, and using t...he latest technology, can add considerably to the cost of providing treatment, which gives a cost advantage to more outdated practices. At Full Face Orthodontics we maintain the highest standards and offer the most advanced technologies A 30 min consultation with Dr. Mahony, which includes X-rays, is billed at $240. If you wish to have a short 5 minute virtual consultation with Dr.Mahony, through the phone, he is also happy to do that at no charge, but it will be at a time that is convenient to our practice. We much prefer you to see Dr.Mahony, in person, at one of our 6 locations. May I ask which location would suit you best? We have practices in Randwick, Parramatta, Neutral Bay, Miranda, Gregory Hills and Hornsby. If you would like to proceed with a phone consultation, please first send photos of the teeth and face to [email protected] and subject it 'Phone Consultation - with your name and contact phone number' If you prefer a live face to face meeting please advise which location suits you the best. We look forward to meeting you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pyiukXacY0&feature=youtu.be See more

11.01.2022 Todays #Mahonysmile is Rachel This young lady had a Class III jaw pattern i.e. a severe underbite. The traditional approach would be to wait until she was older and then perform orthognathic surgery. We at Full Face Orthodontics, however, believe in early interceptive treatment for this type of bite. Rachael was treated very successfully using the McNamara protocol of a Hyrax and face mask therapy. Both Rachel and her mum are extremely happy with the treatment outcome, whic...h has avoided unnecessary extractions and the need for jaw surgery.

03.01.2022 This week's #mahonysmile is Felicity. This young lady had a severe underbite and, left untreated, would have possibly required jaw surgery. Dr Mahonys philosophy is to correct bites during the growth phase so as to minimize the need for more aggressive treatment later in life. Felicitys case is an example of this as you can see from her photographs; her upper teeth now bite directly over her lower teeth whereas initially they were biting in reverse.
