Are Braces for me?

Each person has a unique set of teeth, which is why we offer a variety of treatment options at The Bachmayer Orthodontic Clinic. For patients who struggle with tooth and jaw issues, orthodontic brace treatment can be a real benefit.

At The Bachmayer Orthodontic Clinic, we are qualified and experienced in treating a range of different orthodontic problems. We've outlined some of the most common ones we see below.
Are Braces for me?

Crowding

Crowding is the term for when there is not enough space in your mouth for all of your teeth. This can cause teeth to overlap and grow crooked. Crowding may affect the way you chew and therefore, digest your food.

Spacing

The opposite of crowding, spacing is when there is too much space in your mouth for all of your teeth. This can cause big gaps between teeth, where food may lodge. Another problem that can occur from spacing is infected and inflamed gums.

Overbite

Overbite is a term used to describe when the upper jaw is sitting out past the lower jaw when you bite down. As orthodontists, our focus isn't just on teeth, but on aligning your jaws to ensure you have a correct bite as well.

Underbite

The opposite of an overbite, an underbite is when the lower jaw sits out past the upper jaw when you bite down. The misalignment of the jaw can cause chewing and biting difficulties, speech issues, and jaw pain, so it is important to treat these issues.

Open bite

Another common bite problem is when your upper and lower jaws don't meet when you bite. This can cause a big gap between your teeth and can affect the appearance of your smile. Fortunately, orthodontic appliances can fix these types of bite issues.

Dr. Helen Moon is an orthodontist who has taken the scenic route to perfecting smiles. After earning her Bachelor of Dental Science (Honours) from the University of Queensland, she moved halfway across the globe to complete a Master of Science in Orthodontics at the University of Manitoba. She's now qualified as a specialist orthodontist in Australia, Canada, and the USA because why settle for one country when you can have three?

Her research has been featured at international conferences, and she's a fellow of the Royal College of Dentists of Canada and a member of the AAO (American Association of Orthodontists) and CAO (Canadian Association of Orthodontists).

Dr. Moon is passionate about providing evidence-based, personalised care, with a special interest in digital orthodontics and clear aligner therapy. She has also completed the Aligner Intensive Fellowship, an advanced training program in aligner treatment, ensuring her patients benefit from the latest techniques in orthodontic care. With a knack for spotting the little details that make a big difference, she loves helping patients achieve smiles they’re proud to show off.

During her time in Canada, Dr. Moon embraced the cold with skiing, chasing the northern lights, and surviving temperatures that could freeze your eyelashes. Now back in sunny Sydney, she’s swapped snow for sand and spends her time playing tennis, scuba diving, and enjoying life without five layers of clothing.
