Amarpal had started his Invisalign treatment in sunny Queensland, but moved to Melbourne recently. We were happy to help make his interstate transition easier by taking him onboard as a transfer patient, and he has since successfully completed his Invisalign treatment. Congratulations Amarpal!

Our Lead Dentist David Zhang recently went to a conference in Sydney to learn more about Dental Monitoring.

It's utilising AI to monitor patients digitally (patients can scan their teeth, and then this gets sent to our team and AI checks if treatment is going as expected).

We will be looking at implementing it in the near future.

While in Sydney, he ran into a leading American orthodontist Dr Terry Sellke, who is well known for his practice management lectures.

He was there to promote dental monitoring and explain how he uses the technology in his own practice.

Why is age 7 the “magic number?” - https://1l.ink/JWCSMNN
For most children, it’s around age 7 when their first adult molars will come in. These molars will help establish a child’s adult bite.
A thorough examination around age 7 can predict common orthodontic problems like:
🦷 Overbites
🦷 Crowding
🦷 Open bites
🦷 Gummy smiles

At Blackburn Orthodontics, we offer three different brands of clear aligners: Invisalign, Spark, and 3M Clarity Aligners. Clear aligners are barely noticeable, removable, and can permit easier oral hygiene and maintenance. They are perfect for image-conscious professionals in select cases so be sure to ask our team if aligners are the right choice for you.
