Orthodontic Services in Epsom, Auckland

Guiding smiles into place—with precision and care

A well-aligned smile isn’t just about how teeth look—it’s about how they function, how they feel, and how they set you (or your child) up for long-term oral health. At Alpers Dental, we provide personalised orthodontic care for all ages—from early childhood guidance to clear aligner therapy and traditional braces.

Our goal is simple: help every patient feel confident in their smile, and supported through every stage of treatment.

Our Approach to Orthodontics

We take a thoughtful, whole-person approach to orthodontics. That means considering facial development, breathing, speech, and long-term jaw function—not just straightening teeth.

We start with a comprehensive assessment, explain your options clearly, and walk with you every step of the way. No pressure. No one-size-fits-all.

Our Orthodontic Services

Early Orthodontics

Supporting healthy development from the start

The earlier we identify orthodontic concerns, the more options we have to guide proper growth. Early treatment (often around ages 7–9) can reduce the need for more complex interventions later. We focus on habits, jaw development, and spacing—gently and preventatively.

Clear Aligner Treatment & ProSmilers

Discreet, comfortable, and flexible

We offer clear aligners—including our custom ProSmilers system—for patients seeking a nearly invisible alternative to braces. These smooth trays gradually shift teeth into place and can be removed for eating and brushing. Ideal for adults and teens looking for convenience without compromise.

Metal Braces

Tried-and-true technology, modern comfort

Metal braces remain the most effective treatment for many moderate to complex alignment issues. Today’s systems are more comfortable and efficient than ever. We use low-profile brackets and personalised plans to ensure optimal results.

Underbite Correction

Improving bite, function, and facial balance

An underbite occurs when the lower teeth sit in front of the upper teeth. If left untreated, it can lead to speech issues, wear, and jaw discomfort. We offer early intervention and orthodontic solutions to bring the bite into alignment.

Overbite Correction

Protecting teeth and improving smile aesthetics

A deep overbite can cause excess tooth wear, jaw tension, and aesthetic concerns. Depending on the age and severity, we may use aligners, braces, or bite appliances to correct the imbalance.

Open Bite Correction

Closing gaps for better function and speech

If the front teeth don’t meet when the back teeth bite down, it’s called an open bite. It can affect speech, chewing, and self-esteem. We offer orthodontic solutions to gently guide the teeth into proper contact.

Crowding and Spacing Correction

Creating harmony without extractions when possible

Whether teeth are overlapping or spaced too far apart, we provide tailored solutions that restore balance and symmetry. We often use a combination of aligners, braces, and space-maintaining appliances to guide optimal alignment.

Space Maintainers

Protecting developing smiles

If a baby tooth is lost early, neighbouring teeth can drift into the empty space—causing crowding later. Space maintainers gently hold the gap open, guiding the proper eruption of adult teeth and reducing the need for more complex treatment down the track.

Retainers

Keeping the smile you worked for

After active treatment ends, retainers help prevent teeth from shifting back. We offer both removable and fixed options to suit your lifestyle—and we’ll make sure you understand how to care for them long-term.
