Orthodontics includes the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of dental treatment and dentofacial disabilities and abnormalities. Orthodontic dentistry treats irregularities in teeth alignment; improves the functioning of the jaws and teeth and also enhances the cosmetic and aesthetic aspects of the smile.

Yes, you read that right, orthodontics is NOT just a cosmetic treatment, in fact, if not attended in a timely manner, orthodontic issues may create difficulties in eating, talking, brushing and flossing your teeth - increasing your risk of dental problems.

At Auckland Family Dental, we offer consultation throughout the orthodontic treatment process, from diagnosis and identification of dental abnormality to the final treatment procedure to improve the patient’s smile.

We use the latest teeth straightening techniques to create confident smiles for patients of all ages. Our range of corrective appliances and braces, including Invisalign, are aimed to bring teeth, lips and jaws into proper alignment, at the same time attaining facial balance. We also offer clear aligners – thin, clear trays made to fit your teeth. Unlike metal braces, aligners are removable but are designed to move teeth using the same method as braces: constant, gentle pressure.

Orthodontic treatment for children is also offered in our clinics. Children can need braces for any number of reasons, including crooked, overlapping, or overcrowded teeth, or a "bad bite" (known as malocclusion). There is no set age to get your child in for orthodontic treatment; in-school dental clinics or regular visits to a dental clinic will refer your child for orthodontic treatment when required.

Our orthodontics team provides the highest level of care, using state-of-the-art technology. They strive to use their training and expertise to deliver amazing results for patients in their care.
