Bay Orthodontics is Tauranga's specialist orthodontic practice, with clinics serving patients across Tauranga, Whakatane, and Rotorua. Whether you're exploring braces for your child, considering Invisalign as an adult, or simply looking for a trusted orthodontist in the Bay of Plenty, our team is here to guide you through every step.
Two Specialists. Three Clinics. One Trusted Practice.
Our practice is led by two registered specialist orthodontists, Mark Johnson and Justin Kearney, both of whom have completed advanced postgraduate training in orthodontics beyond general dentistry. That specialist qualification matters. A specialist orthodontist focuses exclusively on tooth movement and jaw alignment, ensuring a higher standard of diagnosis, treatment planning, and long-term outcomes for patients of all ages.
With clinics in Tauranga, Whakatane, and Rotorua, Bay Orthodontics makes specialist care accessible across the wider Bay of Plenty region. Whether you're based in the city or further afield, there's a Bay Orthodontics clinic close to you.
Braces, Invisalign, and More
Bay Orthodontics offers the full range of modern orthodontic treatments, including:
-
Metal braces are the tried-and-tested option for reliable results across a wide range of cases
-
Ceramic braces, which blend with the natural tooth colour for a more discreet appearance
-
Invisalign clear aligners are a removable, near-invisible alternative to traditional braces that is popular with both teens and adults
Our team will assess your case thoroughly during your initial appointment and recommend the treatment that best fits your clinical needs, lifestyle, and budget. There is no one-size-fits-all approach here; every treatment plan is tailored.
Starting Your Orthodontic Journey in Tauranga
Beginning treatment at Bay Orthodontics is straightforward. Your initial appointment gives our specialists the opportunity to assess your teeth, take digital panoramic X-rays if needed, and walk you through your options without any pressure or obligation. We believe informed patients make better decisions, so we take the time to explain what each treatment entails, what results to expect, and the timeline.
If you have been wondering whether braces or Invisalign in Tauranga are right for you, or if you have a child who may benefit from early orthodontic assessment, we encourage you to book a consultation with our team. Specialist care from a practice with deep roots in the Bay of Plenty community is closer than you think.
