Wisdom in Teeth: OrthodontiX

Ronald Sluiter, orthodontist of OrthodontiX is proud to be New Zealand’s premier Orthodontic provider of Invisalign teeth straightening systems.

Invisalign was traditionally aimed at smaller dental corrections for adults, but Ronald is thrilled that the system now provides treatments tailored to teens. Called the Kids First treatment, it is available in a two-stage option. Children can receive treatment for buck teeth from around the age of eight. Then, as the teenage years beckon, the second stage of treatment can begin. Crucially, parents don’t have to pay for the second phase from scratch, as it comes at a reduced price in conjunction with the initial treatment.

Invisalign technology can make braces and functional appliances for the teeth a thing of the past. Ronald develops a treatment plan that uses a series of custom-made, removable, and virtually invisible aligners. There are no brackets to rub or wires to break, and none of the self-confidence issues associated with traditional braces.

Invisalign aligners can be removed, so great oral hygiene is possible and the technology allows for speedy improvements so visible correction occurs within as little as four months. With revolutionary dental monitoring through a phone app, there are fewer visits to the clinic needed too.

Ronald says the first consultation is free at any of the three OrthodontiX clinics and in-house financing, tailored to individual needs, is available. The system amounts not only to great teeth, but to a happier teen and who doesn’t want that?
