Congratulations guys
and keep up the great
work and terrific brushing!
We are so excited to launch our
new website
www.evolveorthodontics.com.au
and hope that you take a moment to check it out and leave
us feedback. We have had a lot
of changes over the past year
and are really happy with the
new direction we have taken. A
new look, latest technology and
up to date training are some
examples. Most of the old faces
are still here with a few wonderful new additions to the team.
Invisalign has really become
popular in the world of Orthodontics and I am really impressed with the results of both
Clinical studies and my own patients.
Recently I had the humbling
experience of an Invisalign patient breaking down in tears and
telling me that ‘this
treatment had changed
her life’. I realized then
that we sometimes forget the effect we have
as Orthodontists as we
go about our job of creating beautiful smiles.
And how so many of us
go through life with a
lack of self esteem associated with an unattractive smile.
As an Invisalign Elite
Preferred Provider I am
often asked about what
Invisalign can and can’t
treat, and what is too
difficult for the Invisalign
technique. And I mean
often. At functions, professional meetings, even
at football games!

tooth alignment issues,
including……
Crooked or crowded

Gappy or spaced teeth
Narrow smiles
Retrusive teeth and

premature aging of the

Protruding teeth Overbites
Some problems however do
require traditional braces.
To find out what is most
suitable for each individual,
contact my office for a
complimentary consultation.
So I am writing to ALL
my patients just to remind you that Invisalign
