Services at South Coast Orthodontics

Dr Vundla provides orthodontic care through South Coast Orthodontics in Shelly Beach. Treatment options include adolescent orthodontics, braces and aligners, surgical orthodontics, adult treatment, early treatment, and retainers.

Adolescent Orthodontics

Teenagers can benefit greatly from orthodontic treatment because their jaws are still developing. Therefore, treatment can help correct dental and jaw concerns as they develop. Dr Vundla provides tailored solutions for adolescents to support a healthy and confident smile.

Braces & Aligners

Patients can choose from several orthodontic options, depending on their needs:

• Traditional Metal Braces – Metal brackets attach to the teeth and connect with wires. Regular adjustments gradually move the teeth into better positions.
• Clear Braces – These provide the benefits of traditional braces while offering a less noticeable appearance.
• Invisalign Clear Aligners – Custom-made, removable clear aligners gradually move the teeth without wires or brackets.
• Lingual Braces – These braces attach to the inner side of the teeth, creating an almost invisible treatment option.

Surgical Orthodontics

For patients with severe jaw irregularities, surgical orthodontics can provide advanced treatment. It can help improve both jaw function and appearance.

Adults can also benefit from orthodontic treatment. A well-aligned smile can improve self-confidence and dental health. In addition, orthodontic treatment can help correct destructive bites that cause excessive tooth wear.

Early Treatment

Interceptive orthodontic treatment can start as early as 6 or 7 years old. Early treatment can help manage problems such as protruding teeth and crossbites, which may cause uneven jaw growth.

Signs that a child may need early orthodontic treatment include:

• Thumb or finger sucking
• Teeth grinding or clenching
• Deep bite or protruding teeth

Retainers

After orthodontic treatment, retainers help keep the teeth in their corrected positions. These removable appliances help maintain alignment over time.
