🪞😁 Try this one-minute smile check!

Take a quick look in the mirror, your smile can tell you more than you might think.

Look out for things like crowding or overlapping teeth, how your top and bottom teeth meet, your jaw alignment and whether the centre of your top and bottom teeth line up.

Some orthodontic concerns are easy to see. Others? Not so much. 👀 That’s because orthodontics isn’t simply about making teeth straight, it’s about how your teeth, bite and jaws work together.

So, if you’ve looked in the mirror and thought, “Hmm… I’m not sure?”, don’t guess. 🦷 Let Dr Flax have a look.

🦷 Think Invisalign is only for simple cases? Think again. 👀

This is one of the biggest Invisalign myths we still hear!

With the right diagnosis, treatment planning and specialist supervision, Invisalign can be used to treat mild, moderate and many more complex orthodontic cases, from crowding and spacing to a range of bite concerns.

The important thing? It’s not just about the aligners. It’s about the expertise behind the treatment plan. 👨‍⚕️✨

Every smile is different, which is why a proper orthodontic assessment is the best way to find out whether Invisalign is right for you.

🦷 Things parents often wish they knew about orthodontics sooner… 👀

When it comes to your child’s developing smile, what you notice early can make a difference to how we plan for the future.

✨ Age seven matters – it’s a great time for a first orthodontic assessment.
🦷 Crowding is worth checking – don’t simply assume they’ll “grow out of it.”
👍 Habits matter – things like prolonged thumb sucking can affect developing teeth and jaws.
📏 Jaw growth matters – orthodontics looks at much more than just straight teeth.
💙 An early assessment doesn’t automatically mean treatment – sometimes, monitoring is exactly the right plan.

Parents, save this one for later, you might be very glad you did. 😉

🔎 Google knows a lot… but it doesn’t know YOUR smile. 😁

Ever searched “Do I need braces or Invisalign?” You’re definitely not alone!

While the internet can give you plenty of general information, it can’t assess:
🦷 Your bite
🦷 Your jaw alignment
🦷 How your teeth work together
🦷 Your individual orthodontic needs

Every smile is different, which means there’s no one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to orthodontic treatment.

So before you fall down another Google rabbit hole… 😉 come and get answers that are actually personalised to you.

💬 Be honest… what’s the strangest thing you’ve ever Googled about your teeth?

🦷 Can you guess the best age for your child’s first orthodontic assessment? You might be surprised… it’s around age seven! 👀

By this age, permanent front teeth and first molars have usually started coming through, giving an orthodontist valuable insight into how your child’s teeth and jaws are developing.

It’s an opportunity to spot things like:
✔️ Crowding
✔️ Thumb sucking and other habits
✔️ Bite problems
✔️ Jaw growth concerns
✔️ Not enough space for developing teeth

And here’s the important part: an early assessment doesn’t automatically mean early treatment. Sometimes the best thing we can do is simply monitor your child’s growth and make a plan for the right time.

Is your child around seven? Book their orthodontic assessment with Dr. Flax.

😁 Braces or Invisalign… which one would YOU choose?

The good news? Both can deliver brilliant results. The best option isn't necessarily about which treatment is "better", it's about which treatment is right for you.

An orthodontist will consider:
✨ Your lifestyle
🦷 Your individual orthodontic needs
🎯 Your smile and treatment goals

From traditional braces to discreet, removable Invisalign aligners, every smile deserves a treatment plan designed around the person wearing it.

Not sure which option is right for you? Let's figure it out together.

🦷 When should your child first see an orthodontist? The answer might be earlier than you think…

Dr. Flax recommends an orthodontic assessment from around age seven. And no—it doesn't mean your child will automatically need braces!

At this age, we can begin identifying developing concerns with their teeth, bite and jaw growth, giving us the opportunity to monitor changes and plan appropriately before smaller issues potentially become more complicated.

💙 Early assessment means better planning and the opportunity for better outcomes.

Is your child seven or older and hasn't had their first orthodontic assessment yet? Let's have a look at how their smile is developing.
