ADVANCED ORTHODONTIC CARE FOR BALANCED, HEALTHY SMILES

ORTHODONTIC DENTISTRY

Ashwin Magan Dental Surgery, located in Upper Hutt, NZ, and serving Lower Hutt, Porirua, Kapiti, Wellington, and Wairarapa, provides advanced orthodontic dentistry designed to align teeth efficiently and comfortably. Our goal is to help patients of all ages achieve healthy, balanced smiles using innovative orthodontic solutions, including Fastbraces®, SureSmile®, and custom retainers.

THE IMPORTANCE OF ORTHODONTICS

Beyond creating a more aesthetic smile, straight teeth improve oral hygiene, prevent premature wear, and support better jaw alignment. A well-balanced bite also helps prevent long-term problems such as TMJ pain, speech issues, and uneven tooth wear.

At Ashwin Magan Dental Surgery, we believe orthodontic care is not just about appearance; it’s about long-term oral health and confidence.

OUR EXPERTISE IN ORTHODONTIC CARE

Led by experienced professionals, our practice provides personalised orthodontic solutions that match your dental structure and lifestyle needs. Dr Ashwin Magan is a Senior Master Provider of Fastbraces®, a testament to his commitment to offering efficient, evidence-based orthodontic care.

Every patient receives an individualised treatment plan following a comprehensive consultation and digital assessment. This ensures precision and comfort throughout your orthodontic journey.

FASTBRACES®: STRAIGHTER TEETH IN LESS TIME

Fastbraces® is an advanced orthodontic system that gently aligns teeth in a fraction of the time required by traditional braces. Using innovative triangular brackets and a single wire, Fastbraces® move both the root and crown of each tooth simultaneously, significantly reducing treatment duration.

Benefits of Fastbraces® include:

• Faster results, often in around 120 days depending on case complexity
• Lower overall treatment costs compared to traditional braces
• Improved comfort due to low-force technology
• Natural bite alignment
• Proven success with over 30 years of clinical use

As one of New Zealand’s leading providers of Fastbraces®, Ashwin Magan Dental Surgery combines skill and experience to deliver remarkable outcomes with minimal disruption to your lifestyle.

EXPANDER THERAPY

Expander therapy uses an expansion orthodontic appliance to widen the dental arch through sutural expansion of the upper jaw. This takes 4 to 6 months and braces follow.



We can tell you at your 1^st Fastbrace consultation if a expander is needed and discuss the process. 

SURESMILE® CLEAR ALIGNERS

For patients seeking a more discreet alternative to traditional braces, we offer SureSmile® clear aligners. These transparent, removable trays gradually reposition your teeth without the need for metal brackets or wires.

Clear aligners are ideal for adults and teens who want to maintain a natural look during treatment. Because they are removable, aligners make brushing, flossing, and eating simple and convenient, ensuring optimal oral hygiene throughout the process.

At Ashwin Magan Dental Surgery, we use precise 3D digital scans to create custom aligners that fit comfortably and deliver predictable, effective results.

RETAINERS FOR LONG-TERM STABILITY

After orthodontic treatment, retainers are essential to maintain your new smile. Teeth naturally tend to shift back to their original positions without support.

We provide both permanent retainer wires (fixed behind the teeth) and removable retainers (custom trays worn at night). We will recommend the most suitable type based on your needs, ensuring your beautifully aligned smile remains stable for years to come.

WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM ORTHODONTICS?

Orthodontic treatment is not limited to teenagers; adults can achieve outstanding results too. You may benefit from orthodontic care if you experience:

• Crowded or overlapping teeth
• Gaps between teeth
• Misaligned jaw or bite
• Difficulty chewing or speaking
• Teeth grinding or uneven wear
