Clinical Philosophy
Orthodontic treatment is most effective when planning begins with a clear understanding of the underlying diagnosis. Evaluation extends beyond tooth position alone and includes assessment of skeletal relationships, growth stage, oral habits, and functional considerations. Treatment recommendations are developed based on clinical findings and are tailored to support stability and oral health over time.
Specialist-Led Care
Specialist-led orthodontic care involves applying advanced training to diagnostic sequencing, treatment planning, and coordination of care. Clinical decisions are informed by evaluation of skeletal relationships, dental alignment, growth patterns, and functional influences that may affect treatment response and stability. When indicated, care may involve collaboration with other dental or healthcare providers to support comprehensive assessment and appropriate management.
Scope of Care and Collaboration
Orthodontic care is provided within the scope of specialty orthodontic practice. Functional findings, breathing patterns, and pain-related symptoms may be identified during assessment and considered during treatment planning. When appropriate, care is coordinated with general dentists, medical providers, or other dental specialists to support comprehensive patient management.
Patient-Centered Care
Clear communication, informed decision-making, and realistic expectations are central to care at Orthodontics Victoria. Treatment options are discussed in a transparent manner, including benefits, limitations, and alternatives, to support patient understanding and long-term satisfaction.
