Frequently asked questions

Orthodontics is a specialist branch of dentistry that addresses the position and alignment of the teeth and jaw. Learn more about orthodontics on this page: What is an orthodontist?

If you have crowding, spacing, or bite issues, then you could benefit from orthodontic treatment. We encourage you to book an appointment at Bachmayer Orthodontics so we can assess if orthodontic treatment is right for you.

With the latest technological developments, discomfort during orthodontic treatment can be kept at a minimum. You may experience some soreness during the adjustment period of a new appliance, which can be treated with over-the-counter pain relief.

The duration of treatment is specific to each patient and their needs. We can give you a better idea of your treatment timeline during your consultation at Bachmayer Orthodontics.

We have outlined some of our orthodontic and treatment fees on our cost page. We also have payment plans and financing options to help with the cost of treatment.

Absolutely! Orthodontic treatment can be beneficial at any age. Learn more about adult orthodontic treatment in our treatments section.

The Australian Association of Orthodontists recommends children have an orthodontic assessment around the age of 7. Here at the Bachmayer Orthodontic Clinic, we endorse this recommendation as it enables us to plan for - or prevent - orthodontic problems in the future.

We have several discreet treatment options, such as Invisalign® clear aligners and clear braces, that people may not even notice you are wearing! Invisalign® aligners can also be removed for the important events in your life.

Orthodontist Dr Helen Moon in Norwest and Tallawong

Dr Helen Moon, Specialist Orthodontist Sydney

Orthodontic Specialist
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.
