A nice smile can improve self-confidence
Research shows that orthodontic treatment can improve self-confidence, together with emotional and social well-being. This is particularly important for young people when they are learning to interact with others, as low self-confidence can affect social interactions.
Types of Treatment
We offer a variety of orthodontic treatment options for children and adults, including metal braces, clear ceramic braces, Invisalign, removable plates and functional appliances. All treatment is tailored to your individual needs. At the initial appointment Kirsty will provide advice on the ideal treatment, as well as appropriate alternative treatment options.
About Us
Hawke’s Bay Orthodontics is a friendly, family orientated practice where we treat every patient as we would treat one of our own family members. Our practice has a relaxed atmosphere where you and your children will feel comfortable and at ease
Our experience has been a wonderful one with Kirsty and the team at Hawke's Bay Orthodontics. Emily our daughter has completed her braces treatment and has been thrilled with the outcome of her beautiful smile. No questions are ever unanswered and we have always had wonderful reassurance and support all the way through. We would most definitely always recommend Kirsty and her fabulous team as the BEST in Hawke's Bay!!

A few days have passed now, and I can’t stop flashing my new smile to everyone – where I once used to be so ashamed of my teeth! Thank you for giving my confidence a boost, it was definitely worth it. I only wish I had done it earlier in life.

Both my daughters received full sets of braces through Kirsty and her team, and both had them on a little over a year and a half each. Kirsty is such a beautiful, caring person who made both my daughters feel at ease every time, never ever made them feel they weren’t important. Kirsty’s and her team of ladies are all wonderful and very professional & excellent at what they do. I highly recommend them.

Always professional, but more importantly very caring towards my two daughters during their treatment.

After having seen the end result of two of my children having braces, and witnessed the professional service and care that the boys received, I decided that I would give braces a go myself. Kirsty and her ‘ladies’ are an awesome team and I always enjoy my time there rather than dread it like the Dentist!
