Guiding Patients with Orthodontic Needs
At Wellington Dental Clinic, we understand that some patients may require orthodontic treatment to achieve a healthy and confident smile. While we do not provide orthodontic appliances directly, our role is to explain the options available, educate you on what each appliance does, and guide you toward the right specialist when needed.
Our team ensures that patients and parents:
- Understand each type of orthodontic appliance in simple terms, without confusing jargon.
- Know what to expect in terms of comfort, appearance, and daily care.
- Receive proper referrals to trusted orthodontic specialists who can provide the treatment required.
We believe that informed patients make the best decisions for their oral health. By taking the time to explain and cater to your needs, we make sure you feel confident every step of the way — from understanding treatment options to completing your orthodontic journey with a beautiful smile.
