The Value of a Specialist

Orthodontists are trained, experienced Dentists who have completed additional specialist qualifications to become an Orthodontist (see chart below). Orthodontists treat their patients in a holistic way, ensuring the most accurate diagnosis and treatment that is best suited to your unique needs. Specialist Orthodontists are the most efficient at achieving amazing results because they see thousands of cases each year. Chances are Dr Derek and Dr Brandon have treated a number of cases just like yours and know exactly how to get the best results.

Health Fund Cover

Many funds have policies that provide different rebates according to whether treatment is provided by an Orthodontist or a General Dentist. The details of each health fund policy vary. Patients are encouraged to contact their health fund to determine details of their cover.
