The cost varies based on the duration and complexity of treatment. Minor tooth alignment can start from $3,500, while more comprehensive specialist care ranges between $7,000 and $9,500. During your initial assessment, Dr. Nick will provide a specific fee tailored to your clinical needs.

Neither is universally “better”; it depends on your lifestyle and your specific orthodontic concerns. Dr. Nick takes the time to understand your daily routine and clinical requirements to determine if clear aligners (like Spark) or traditional braces are the most suitable option for achieving a healthy, functional result

While every smile is unique, most comprehensive treatments take between 18 to 24 months. While you may see visible changes in the first three months, the remaining time is essential for Dr. Nick to carefully correct your bite and ensure long-term stability.

The Australian Society of Orthodontists recommends a child has their first evaluation by age seven to ten. At this age, Dr. Nick can monitor the growth of the jaw and the eruption of permanent teeth, identifying any issues early to ensure treatment is as simple and effective as possible when the time is right.
