About the Orthodontist
At The Orthodontist, we want all young New Zealanders to grow up confident with a smile they can be proud of.
We will offer a market leading orthodontist practice with quality treatment for all of our guests, in a professional, fun, caring and friendly environment. Our practice philosophy is to create an experience that is memorable, not only for the client but the parents and caregivers as well.
The practice has been rebranded and is now known as “The Orthodontist”. It has also moved into a state-of-the-art surgery, located at 2 Connolly Street in Lower Hutt. This new location not only offers sophisticated orthodontic services but a wonderment of Bhavik’s love of all things children, with a display of Bhavik’s private model collection through-out the surgery.

Pricing
How we price treatment
Depends on how comprehensive or long your treatment will be or for instance whether you choose metal or clear braces. This is on a case by case basis and would be discussed before additional fees incur.
At The Orthodontist we offer an interest free payment plan system, easy to set up over internet banking that allows you to pay in monthly installments over time rather than in one lump sum payment.
Wish For a Smile
The Orthodontist is proud to be a provider for the Wish for a Smile Trust.
The Wish For A Smile Trust is a public health initiative of the New Zealand Association of Orthodontists (NZAO).
The Trust aims to make specialist orthodontic treatment available to young New Zealanders who would otherwise not be able to access orthodontic care.
Wish For A Smile orthodontists are full NZAO members and registered orthodontic specialists. Participating orthodontists have undertaken to treat selected children within their community who are unable to access orthodontic care because of financial hardship. The Wish For A Smile programme is only available in those areas serviced by participating members of the NZAO.
Orthodontic treatment can make a huge difference to a child through increased self-esteem and an optimistic future outlook. Unlike standard dental care, orthodontics is not free for young people in New Zealand.
