Accelerated Orthodontics (PAOO)

Want straighter teeth in a shorter timeframe? In some cases, Designer Smiles may recommend Periodontally Accelerated Osteogenic Orthodontics (PAOO), an advanced technique designed to support faster tooth movement for suitable patients.

PAOO is not required for most orthodontic cases, but for the right candidate, it can reduce overall treatment time while still delivering predictable, long-term results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an orthodontist, or can a general dentist provide orthodontic treatment?

Orthodontic treatment can be provided by trained dentists, but more complex bite and alignment issues may require specialist orthodontic involvement. At Designer Smiles, orthodontic treatment is overseen in-house, and we collaborate with specialists when required.

How do I know if Invisalign will work for my teeth?

Invisalign can be effective for many mild to moderate orthodontic cases, but it is not always suitable for complex bite issues. We assess your alignment and bite using digital planning to confirm whether Invisalign is the right option for you.

Can orthodontics fix bite issues, not just crooked teeth?

Yes. Orthodontic treatment is commonly used to correct bite problems such as overbite, underbite, crossbite, and open bite. Improving bite alignment can also help reduce uneven wear on teeth and jaw discomfort.

How long does orthodontic treatment usually take?

Treatment time varies based on the complexity of the case and the type of orthodontic appliance used. Some cases can be completed within 6 to 12 months, while others may require a longer timeframe for stable, long-term results.

What happens after orthodontic treatment is finished?

Once treatment is complete, retainers are used to help maintain your new smile. Retention is an essential part of orthodontics, as teeth can shift over time without proper support.

Can orthodontic treatment be done if I’ve had braces before?

Yes. Many patients return for orthodontic retreatment because teeth can gradually shift over time. In many cases, Invisalign or braces can be used to correct relapse and restore alignment.

Do you offer accelerated orthodontic treatment such as PAOO?

In most cases, especially in adult orthodontics, accelerated orthodontic treatment such as PAOO, may be the best option to reduce treatment time and risk of gum recession. This is not suitable for every patient, so it is assessed on an individual basis during consultation.

Do I need veneers after orthodontic treatment?

Not usually, it is case by case dependent. Orthodontics can straighten and align teeth, but if tooth shape, wear, or colour is a concern, cosmetic options such as whitening or veneers may be discussed as finishing treatments.

How much does orthodontic treatment cost in Sydney?

The cost depends on the type of orthodontic treatment and the complexity of your case. We provide clear pricing and treatment options after your consultation so you can make an informed decision.

Dr Sarkis is the maestro of cosmetic dentistry….for years I suffered with 2 slightly darker front teeth due to a childhood accident. I’ve had composite veneers before but nothing compared to the composite veneers Dr Sarkis did……now I feel so confident smiling again……Dr Sarkis I can’t thank you enough…

Monica McKenzie

Quite literally the best dentist I’ve been to in a lifetime. Dr Natasha Koelmeyer specifically is just a wonderfully kind and gentle Doctor. Must also mention that the head specialist here is also second to none. Their knowledge (goodness they know their stuff) their approach, their kind and gentle manner - my daughter actually enjoys going to the dentist. They’ve got a really considered patient centric mentality. I wouldn’t go anywhere else, every single person there including the reception staff is a star. Thank you Designer Smiles!

Michelle Lacasse

My journey with Dr Sarkis began about 10 years ago. I did not realise that I had lacked self confidence and shone away from "my true smile". Dr Sarkis was honest, reassuring and professional throughout my process and not only was he able to achieve that perfect smile but achieve same without compromising the health of my teeth and gums.The ongoing care at Designer Smiles is 5 star whether it is a routine check, clean minor or major dentistry. Thank you Dr Sarkis and also your team.

Christina Vergotis

I found Designer Smiles from one of their YouTube videos showcasing the Icon treatment to fix white spots on teeth. Dr. Sarkis Nalbandian's consultation provided me with a thorough plan and showed me how their practise could give me predicable results for my concerns. I knew I was in safe hands. I had Kristy Gupta perform both of my procedures and she was very professional and so kind. I am very happy with my results!

Winsome Kain

I cannot express how grateful I am for Sarkis and the team at Designer Smiles. Around 11 years ago my life changed when Sarkis first transformed my smile with composite veneers. This month, with my original teeth in tact I returned to have my composite veneers upgraded to porcelain. I was amazed that Sarkis and his team could do this without an injections, no pain and whilst still keeping my original teeth in tact. I absolutely love the result and I would highly recommend that anyone that is unhappy with their smile in any way, must visit designer smiles

Matt Williams

Started my treatment with the team at Designer Smiles in 2019. Had other dental treatments including Maxillofacial, expanders, straightening and gum grafting but out of all the procedures and surgeries Dr. Sarkis was the key as he was applying the ‘finishing product’ which included composite veneers. I am gobsmacked by the incredible job done. He talks the talk and definitely walks the walk. And his support team there are simply incredible and make you feel part of a family not just another dental clinic to take your money. Can not recommend highly enough. Customer for life here!!
