Dr Steven Semaan of Clear Smiles Orthodontics is a specialist orthodontist who uses the lastest technology on the Gold Coast for straightening teeth with braces and invisalign clear braces. The emphasis on technology is a result of years of experience which has proven that with technology the patient experience, the diagnosis, orthodontic treatment time, overall comfort and outcome are much better. Many orthodontists on the Gold Coast still use 1980s technology with traditional metal braces and wires because they come in bulk and are cheap. Using these brackets requires the orthodontist to use their best estimate of where a brackets should go and manually bend the wires to put force on the teeth to move into a desired position. Patients need to come in to see their orthodontist very often to check and see if the positioing and bends are moving the teeth to the intended position. If the patient comes back to early, then they have to go away and come back again. If too late and the teeth have moved passed the mark, then another appointment is needed to correct the issue. Traditional braces mean more appointments, more time at the orthodontic clinic and therefore more time out of school and work. Dr Semaan uses Insignia braces which are fully customised and robotically engineered to the specific patient's treatment plan. Each bracket and wire of the braces is custom made to the exact specifications that the Dr Semaan needs to get to the desired result. This state-of-the-art technology allows Dr Semaan to design the smile digitally and then have precise brackets and wires to get the patient their beautiful smile much quicker. This is because the bracket positioning is more precise than traditional braces and the bends in the wires are more accurate than traditional wires. The patient can therefore expect faster treatment times, fewer office visits, and less shorter office visits. Dr Semaan is the number one provider of Insignia on the Gold Coast. Invisalign is another option of orthodontic treatment offered by Clear Smiles Orthodontics on the Gold Coast in Robina. As the Gold Coast's number 1 provider of Invisalign, Dr Semaan is very experienced in using this clear aligner technology to straighten teeth just as effectively as braces. Over 50% of the patients who visit Clear Smiles are adults so it is no surprise that many choose invisalign for their orthodontic treatment. Invisalign uses a series of clear aligners that are worn for 2 week intervals to gradually move the teeth to their desired position. Again, Dr Semaan uses 3D digital technology to allow him to design the outcome before treatment starts and give a predictable and accurate finish. Patients can see what their teeth will look like even before their orthodontic treatment begins. No referral necessary.
