Orthodontists in New Zealand
Top 5 rankings across New Zealand
Orthodontist is a specialist title in New Zealand. It belongs to dentists registered with the Dental Council of New Zealand as orthodontic specialists, which takes a postgraduate orthodontic qualification on top of a dental degree, and the council publishes a public register you can search by name. A general dentist can also offer braces or clear aligners but is not an orthodontist, so ask who will plan and carry out your treatment. Braces are a private cost for almost every family, so ask whether the quote covers records, every adjustment visit, removal, retainers and replacement retainers, and how long follow-up reviews run.
