At The Orthodontist, we want all young New Zealanders to grow up confident with a smile they can be proud of. We offer orthodontic dental brace treatment for children and teenagers in a professional, fun, caring and friendly environment.
Yourteeth straighteningprocess starts with requesting a consultation - that is Step 1. Follow our orthodontic process to find out how you can gain a confident smile. We are here to support you every step of the way so if you have any questions, please ask.
When we think of orthodontics, usually braces come to mind and this is the most common treatment, but there are a range of other orthodontic treatments available depending on the issue or problem that is being corrected.
orthodontic treatment costs depend on the type of treatment and how long you need it so this will be discussed with you during your first visit. At The Orthodontist we offer an interest-free payment plan system which allows you to pay for orthodontic treatment e.g. braces, over a period of time.
Luckily, there is rarely an emergency with orthodontics, but sometimes there are issues e.g. a wire breaks or a colour band comes off. Find out what the most common problems are and what you can do to remedy them...

What Our Lovely Clients Are Saying…
Bhavik and his team are very professional and friendly. The facilities and technologies are state of the art. We feel well looked after. The waiting room is also very cool, with all of Bavik’s Lego and film collectibles to look at. I’d recommend the team to anyone looking for a straight and beautiful smile.

My son had very crooked teeth but did not want to get braces. I persuaded him to see Bhavik and have a chat. Bhavik made the process sound straightforward and answered all my son's questions, so he agreed to get braces and he followed through with all the treatment recommendations. Read More

First of all I would like to say thanks so much for Zac's treatment today at the Orthodontist. I didn't catch the name of the practitioner we saw today but she was lovely, kind and patient, and please pass on my thanks for her follow up voicemail about the retainer. Read More
