Why Choose
The Orthodontist?
Choosing an orthodontist is a significant decision for your family’s health, confidence, and future. At The Orthodontist, we don’t just straighten teeth—we care for the person behind the smile.
With modern practices in Lindfield and Gosford, led by specialist orthodontist Dr. Peter Foo, we’ve built our reputation on clinical excellence, personal care, and lasting results.
Here is what sets us apart and makes us the clear choice for your orthodontic journey:
True Specialist Expertise
There is a profound difference between a general dentist offering orthodontic alignment and a dedicated Specialist Orthodontist.
-
The Specialist Advantage: After qualifying as a dentist, Dr. Foo completed an additional three years of intensive, full-time post-graduate university training focused exclusively on tooth movement, facial growth, and jaw alignment.
-
What this means for you: You are placing your care in the hands of a master of the craft. We possess the deep, specialized insight required to treat even the most complex dental and facial irregularities safely and accurately.
A Personal, "Hands-On" Approach
We never run a "production-line" clinic. We believe that premium orthodontic results require consistent, expert supervision.
-
Dr. Foo Sees You Personally: Unlike some practices where most of your adjustments are handed off entirely to assistants, Dr. Foo will personally see you and examine your progress at every single visit.
-
What this means for you: Your treatment will never be rushed. We always take the time to answer your questions, adjust your plan dynamically, and ensure your journey is moving forward comfortably and precisely.
Advanced, Comfort-First Technology
Orthodontics has evolved dramatically. We pride ourselves on remaining at the absolute forefront of digital dental technology.
-
Discreet, Modern Alternatives: We offer an array of cutting-edge treatments tailored to your lifestyle, including Invisalign® Clear Aligners, completely hidden Incognito™ Lingual Braces, and low-profile Ceramic Braces.
-
What this means for you: Our advanced techniques are specifically chosen to minimize physical discomfort, reduce the visibility of your appliances, and significantly shorten your overall time in treatment.
Our Lifetime Commitment: Smiles for Life
It is a frustrating reality that many adults require braces a second time because their teeth shifted back years after their initial childhood treatment. This happens when the critical "retention phase" is overlooked.
-
A Dedicated Focus on Retention: We respect the financial, time, and emotional commitment you make to straighten your teeth. We place an immense, proactive focus on the post-treatment phase.
-
What this means for you: By designing a personalized, diligent retainer plan for you after your braces or aligners come off, we ensure that your investment is protected and your beautiful new smile stays perfectly in place for life.
