We are a Platinum Invisalign Provider
An Invisalign platinum provider Dr Blandy is an expert in improving smiles with Invisalign – the clear alternative to braces.The Invisalign System is the nearly invisible way to straighten your teeth and improve your smile – without braces. Invisalign treatment works through a series of clear, comfortable and removable aligners that are custom made as per Dr Blandy’s treatment plan. Each aligner is slightly different, moving your teeth gradually into the desired position.If you want to show off your smile and not your braces, make an appointment with us to find out more.
Dr. Mark Blandy
While working as a general dentist Mark developed an interest in orthodontics and commenced a Doctor of Clinical Dentistry in Orthodontics where he gained the skills necessary to improve patient smiles and become a registered specialist orthodontist.
He has been awarded membership to the Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons and is currently a member of the Australian Society of Orthodontists and Australian Orthodontic Board.
Dr Blandy prides himself on being able to offer high quality yet affordable orthodontics to all age groups and periodically visits both Tully and Weipa to help provide specialty services to more remote regions of Far North Queensland and Cape York.
We Are a Digital Impression Practice
Here at Cairns Specialist Orthodontists we pride ourselves on staying up to date with the latest advances in technology. The iTero Element Scanner is a state-of-the-art digital impression system that eliminates the need for messy putty in your mouth. With our iTero Element Scanner, we can digitally capture a detailed 3D model of your teeth and gums. Not only is this process far more comfortable than the old putty-based impressions, but it’s faster and can offer a superior clinical endpoint.
