Good oral hygiene is an important part of every orthodontic treatment plan. Keeping your teeth and gums clean and healthy helps support your oral health throughout treatment.

Regular brushing, flossing and cleaning those harder to reach areas all form part of a good daily routine.

Small habits can make a meaningful difference to your oral health during treatment.

A palatal expander is one of the appliances that may be used as part of growth modification treatment in children.

Treatment during growth can help guide the development of the jaws when certain orthodontic concerns are identified. The right appliance depends on your child’s individual needs and Dr Opperman’s assessment.

Spark clear aligners are one of the orthodontic appliances that Dr Rozanne Opperman may use as part of a personalised treatment plan. These custom‑made, clear trays are designed to fit closely over the teeth and offer a discreet way to guide them into better alignment.

Clear aligners are not suitable for every bite or every patient, and they are never chosen in isolation. At Bespoke Orthodontics, the decision between braces, lingual appliances, clear aligners or other options is made only after a thorough assessment of your teeth, jaws, oral health and treatment goals.

If you’re interested in Spark clear aligners or any other form of orthodontic treatment, we’ll discuss all appropriate options with you during your consultation.

Once your braces are taken off, your teeth need support to stay in their new positions. It’s very common to wear a retainer after treatment to help prevent them from slowly drifting back.

Depending on your case, Dr Rozanne Opperman may recommend a removable retainer, usually worn at night or a fixed retainer, bonded behind the teeth.

Wearing your retainer as instructed is a simple but important step in protecting your new smile.

Growth modification treatment aims to influence the growth of the jaws and facial bones so they develop in better proportion, especially during the key growth years of childhood and adolescence.
Using specialised orthodontic appliances, Dr Rozanne Opperman can help:

🦷Guide jaw growth in a more favourable direction
🦷Create better conditions for tooth alignment
🦷Reduce the need for more complex treatment later on

This type of treatment forms part of early interceptive orthodontics, supporting a healthier bite and facial profile as your child grows.

Surgical orthodontics combines specialist orthodontic treatment with surgical procedures to correct more severe dental and skeletal discrepancies that cannot be managed with braces or clear aligners alone.

Procedures can range from minor surgery, such as the exposure of an impacted tooth, to full orthognathic (corrective jaw) surgery to improve jaw position, bite function and facial balance.

Each case is carefully planned to create a healthier, more stable smile and an improved overall facial profile.

Lingual appliances are designed for patients who want effective orthodontic treatment with minimal impact on appearance.

Key advantages include:
🦷Braces are placed on the inside of the teeth, so they’re barely visible in everyday conversations or photographs
🦷Each appliance is custom‑made to fit your dental anatomy and treatment goals
🦷Often a good choice for adults in professional or social environments where discreet treatment is preferred

After attending a dedicated Lingual Orthodontics congress in Italy, Dr Rozanne Opperman brings up‑to‑date knowledge and techniques back to her patients at Bespoke Orthodontics.

At Bespoke Orthodontics, treatment for adults may include:
🦷Conventional braces
🦷Clear aligners
🦷Lingual orthodontics, where braces are placed on the inside of the teeth for extra discretion

The aim is to improve both function and appearance, so you can bite, chew and smile with confidence at every stage of life.

Lingual orthodontics is often a good fit for adults and older teens who want the benefits of fixed braces, but prefer their treatment to be almost invisible in day‑to‑day life.

It can be a great option if you:
🦷 Have a public‑facing or professional role
🦷 Feel self‑conscious about visible braces
🦷 Prefer a fixed appliance that works quietly in the background

Because every case is different, specialist orthodontist Dr Rozanne Opperman will assess your bite, tooth positions and goals to determine whether lingual appliances, clear aligners or conventional braces are the best option for you.

Lingual orthodontics uses braces that are placed on the inside (tongue side) of the teeth, instead of the outer surfaces. This means the brackets and wires are mostly hidden from view when you smile, speak or laugh.

It offers the same controlled tooth movement as conventional braces, but with a far more discreet appearance – making it an attractive option for adults and image‑conscious patients who prefer their treatment to be as invisible as possible.
