Sunbird Story
We believe everyone deserves the gift of confidence – a beautiful smile!
Sunbirds are seen in every garden throughout our region, and they are all without exception, beautiful and busy little birds, carefully and instinctively building their intricate hanging nests, with exceptional focus and dedication.
At Sunbird Orthodontics our team shares this focus and dedication. We are forever busy building beautiful smiles!
With your blessing, we promise to look after you and your children with the tireless care for which Sunbirds are known. When your child’s care is complete, they leave Sunbird Orthodontics fully equipped with a beautifully confident smile – ready to take on the world!
Only then do we count our success.
Once they have completed their hanging nest they become faithful and nurturing parents, sharing responsibility for their most treasured possession. Only when their young have flown from the nest as beautiful little sunbirds, do they finally take stock of their achievement.

Our desire is to serve our local community in the most effective way possible. That is to be caring, convenient and cost-effective.

Why Choose An Orthodontist?
Dealing with crooked teeth and jaws can alter the shape of a child's face significantly and irreversibly.
To understand the effects that orthodontic treatment has on a child’s appearance requires training and skill of the highest order.
A Specialist Orthodontist has already spent many years as a general dentist, often as a family dentist. After a minimum of 2 years working as a general dentist, a future Orthodontist can chose to sit further exams set by the Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons.
Passing this arduous set of examinations earns the right to apply to an accredited University, and study the specialist discipline of Orthodontics, full time for 3 more years. Entry to specialist dental training is highly competitive.
Therefore, a typical Specialist Orthodontist is usually a committed and motivated high-achiever, and has spent a minimum of 8 years in full time tertiary education.
Most importantly, in order to gain specialist qualifications, he/she must prove to a large panel of international experts that they are worthy of the title “Specialist Orthodontist”.
If you are considering orthodontics for you or your child, leave it to the experts. See a Specialist Orthodontist.
