Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between braces and clear aligners?
Metal braces are bonded directly to each tooth and use wires and brackets to gradually shift teeth. They are highly effective for complex cases. Ceramic braces work the same way but use tooth-coloured materials for a more subtle appearance. Clear aligners such as Invisalign use a series of removable trays, offering a discreet option with simpler brushing and flossing routines. Pāpāmoa Orthodontist offers all three options and can recommend the most suitable treatment at your initial consultation.
At what age should children have an orthodontic assessment?
Early orthodontic assessment is available for children from around age 7, though treatment typically begins between 10 and 14. Early assessment can identify issues with jaw development and tooth alignment before they become more complex, potentially reducing the need for more extensive treatment later. Pāpāmoa Orthodontist offers early treatment consultations and will advise on the most appropriate timing for your child.
Does the treatment fee cover everything?
Yes. Pāpāmoa Orthodontist offers comprehensive treatment fees that cover the full course of treatment including placement, all adjustment appointments, retainers and follow-up visits. Flexible payment options are available to spread the cost. Discuss specific pricing at your consultation.
Is orthodontic treatment available for adults?
Yes. Orthodontic treatment is not only for children and teenagers. Pāpāmoa Orthodontist treats adult patients of all ages with both braces and clear aligner options. Many adults choose treatment to correct long-standing alignment issues or improve the appearance and function of their smile. A consultation will identify the most appropriate treatment plan.
Where is Pāpāmoa Orthodontist located?
Pāpāmoa Orthodontist is at 1G Tara Road, Pāpāmoa Beach. The clinic shares a purpose-built building with Tara Road Dental, though the two practices operate independently. The premises are fully accessible and free parking is available on site. The clinic is a short drive from Te Puke, Mount Maunganui and central Tauranga.
