Orthodontic Treatment in Tauranga and Te PukeBraces and clear aligners provided by our dentists

Orthodontic treatment focuses on guiding teeth and jaw development to support alignment, bite function and long-term oral health. At Beyond Dental, we provide orthodontic care for children, teenagers and adults in Tauranga, Papamoa and Te Puke.

Our dentists provide orthodontic treatment at Beyond Dental and are registered in the general dental scope of practice. Where a case would benefit from specialist care, we will refer you to a registered orthodontist.

When Should Orthodontic Treatment Begin?

We recommend an orthodontic consultation before age 8. Early evaluation does not always mean immediate treatment, but it lets us assess jaw growth, spacing, and eruption patterns and plan ahead. For teenagers and adults, treatment focuses on alignment, bite correction and cosmetic improvement.

Orthodontic Treatment Options

Depending on age and what your teeth need, treatment options at the practice include: early interceptive treatment for children, fixed metal braces for teenagers, clear aligners for teenagers and adults, limited adult treatment focused on the front teeth, and comprehensive care combined with other dental treatment.

Clear Aligners as an Alternative to Braces

Clear aligners use a series of custom-made trays to gradually move teeth, and suit patients looking for a more discreet option. At your assessment, our dentists will advise whether aligners suit your case.

Treatment Duration and Costs

Most treatment takes 12 to 24 months, and cost varies with the complexity of your case. We first need a diagnostic appointment with imaging, after which we’ll give you clear pricing before anything begins.
