His interests involve spending as much time as possible with his wife and children and grandchildren, all of whom, he says, fortunately share a good sense of humour.

As a young orthodontic patient, Dr Savran saw himself being in the clinician’s chair one day. Fast forward many, many years of study, he is now a qualified Specialist Orthodontist from the University of Sydney. With numerous qualifications under his belt, he has a keen interest in both paediatric and adult sleep apnea, focusing his philosophy like all orthodontists on the patient as a whole instead of just straight teeth.

Despite being ashamed of his extensive happy sock collection, he strives to bring out the confidence and personalities of his patients as his orthodontist did many years ago. When he is not in the clinic, he is most likely embracing his inner (and former) athletic self, playing any sport, particularly soccer and tennis. Otherwise, he is a self-professed coffee connoisseur and happy to recommend a good café, provided you promise to brush those teeth afterwards!

What is orthodontics?

Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that specializes in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of dental and facial irregularities which the public often refer to as “crooked teeth” and a large “overbite”. The technical term for these problems is “malocclusion”, which means “bad bite”.

The practice of orthodontics requires professional skill in the design, application and control of braces and plates. The aim of treatment is to bring teeth, lips and jaws into proper alignment and achieve facial balance and harmony.

Straight teeth can give you increased self-confidence and can boost  self-image. These are important treatment aims.

We are committed to providing exceptional orthodontic care, guiding you through every stage of your treatment. Our focus is on delivering personalised solutions that help you achieve your best smile with confidence and comfort.

Ours is a specialist orthodontic practice. To become a specialist orthodontist we first must study at university to become a dentist. We are then required to go back to university for a number of years and obtain a higher degree ( a Master of Dental Science) in the speciality of orthodontics. This then allows us to be given specialist registration.

As well as the higher degree, all the orthodontists in our practice have a number of years experience in specialist practice.

Almost anyone can benefit from orthodontic treatment. While most of our patients are teenagers, younger children can also benefit from a brief period of treatment, and about one in eight of our patients is over 18.

The mechanics of moving teeth are similar for both adults and children. However, it is generally easier to move teeth in patients who are still growing. Most of our patients are treated during their rapid growth phase, which typically occurs between ages 12 and 14 for girls and a bit later for boys.

 

The primary goal of orthodontic treatment is to achieve a proper bite, which involves aligning teeth so they fit well with the opposing jaw. A well-aligned bite facilitates easier biting, chewing, and speaking, contributing to both dental and overall health, as well as potentially boosting self-esteem.

Orthodontic treatment is often a key component of a comprehensive dental care plan. With proper care—including necessary orthodontic treatment—teeth can last a lifetime. Early treatment for children or teenagers who are still growing can lead to outcomes that may not be achievable once facial and jaw development is complete.

 

The initial consultation is primarily a fact-finding visit. It’s generally recommended for children to have an orthodontic check-up by age 7, although this doesn’t always mean that treatment is necessary. Often, the immediate benefit of an early evaluation is providing peace of mind for both parents and patients, reassuring them that while things may not be ideal, it’s fine to wait for further growth and the emergence of more teeth.

Typically, we see patients for consultations when they are in late primary or early high school, but we also welcome many adults seeking treatment. Age is not a barrier to orthodontic care; if you’re unhappy with the appearance of your teeth, we can assist you at any age. Proper timing for treatment is crucial, and if it’s too early to begin, we have an efficient recall system to help you stay informed.

Cost, of course, depends on the nature of the problem. Many orthodontic problems require only limited treatment and the price tag may be lower than you think. However, if someone needs braces on both top and bottom teeth to fix a complicated problem with the teeth and the bite, treatment can take about 2 years.

The cost of this treatment will depend on the severity of the problem. The fee can be paid off over 18 months and many Health Funds give refunds for orthodontic treatment. Our cost includes one set of removable or fixed retainers after braces or aligner attachments are removed.

At your consultation appointment, the treatment, the cost and the method of payment will be fully explained and a written quote will be given to you. We accept, cash, EFTPOS and credit cards for payment – whichever is the most convenient. While it is important to keep in mind the long-term benefit orthodontic treatment offers, we know you have specific questions so don’t be afraid to ask.
