Having gone through years of embarrassingly crooked teeth in adolescence followed by painful extractions and braces, I was keen to avoid the same path for my daughter. When I heard about Dr David Leafe and his work at Smiles Without Braces, I was excited to think there might be a painless and effective solution to deal with orthodontic issues well before adolescence hit.

My daughter started the treatment program at seven and eighteen months later, I can honestly say it's one of my best ever parenting decisions. I feel so happy every time we visit the surgery and the progress we've made has been dramatic in its simplicity.

For my daughter, it's been an easy process. For me, the cost has been small considering the benefit.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend David and his awesome team to any parent of a child with an imperfect smile, or for general dental for the whole family. They are gentle, ethical, professional and friendly, all the while providing real value for money - a rare combination!"

Approximate cost: $6000
