Our practices will be closed from 24 December until 4 January - however, you can still book to see us in 2021. Happy Holidays from everyone at Ocean and warm wishes for the New Year!
We are proud to have the best orthodontic talent on the Sunshine Coast. Our practice is a specialist orthodontic practice. We have some of the finest orthodontic professionals on our team including specialist orthodontists who are nationally-registered and nationally-recognised specialists. You can be confident that you are in good hands when you entrust your treatment to us.
When you choose our team for your orthodontic treatment, there are several decades of combined experience shaping your care. We have been helping patients from Mooloolaba, Coolum Beach, Kuluin, Buddina, Maroochydore, Warana and the surrounding areas for nearly 20 years.
Our extensive experience and dedication to lifelong learning mean that your treatment here will always be safe and exceed your expectations.
At Ocean Orthodontics we implement the best sterilisation practices for your safety, hygiene and comfort. We achieve this by following a strict protocol that ensures all of the tools and instruments used during orthodontic treatment are sterilised well above the industry standard.
This includes:
Hand-scrubbing any visible debris from our instruments
Placing them in our state-of-the-art 'Sono Swiss' ultrasonic sterilisation
Washing and drying the instruments thoroughly
Running the instruments through our state-of-the-art LISE 500 autoclave machine to complete the sterilisation process
Our process ensures that all of the instruments at Ocean Orthodontics are 100% hygienic and safe for use.
We ensure that our whole team understands the importance of sterilisation and infection control and we conduct regular training sessions to ensure this protocol is adhered to at all times. This protocol is the dental and orthodontic industry standard as set out by the Australian Dental Association.
We want to put your mind at ease so that you can continue receiving the orthodontic treatment you need without compromising your health.
There are three things we would like you to be aware of at this time.
As of 8th May 2020, orthodontists in Australia are operating under Level One restrictions. This means that our orthodontists can still safely provide you with orthodontic treatment. Placing braces is a non-invasive procedure that neither generates aerosols nor requires any drilling.
In light of the current restrictions, however, we cannot treat anyone who is showing possible symptoms of COVID-19. To protect all of our patients as well as our beloved staff, we will screen each of our patients for COVID-19 symptoms or possible exposure prior to scheduling an appointment. If you are having symptoms, then we will simply postpone your visit for approximately two weeks.
While we already run a very hygienic practice, we are taking even more precautions to minimise your exposure to potential contaminants and to other patients. Our clinical team members wear gloves and masks and we thoroughly clean our treatment rooms before seating a new patient.
We are staying up-to-date with ongoing developments and we will let you know how any changes will impact your upcoming appointment at Ocean Orthodontics. Feel free to call us if you have any questions.
Lastly, we also offer you the opportunity to have a free remote consultation with one of our orthodontists right on your smartphone. You can find out what your treatment needs are and get answers to your questions without even having to leave your home.
To learn more about our impeccable infection control measures, give us a call on 07 5493 3200 (Warana location) or 07 5443 4233 (Maroochydore location). Book a free initial consultation with our team if you are ready to get started.
