Why Duxton Dental?

We make orthodontics a positive experience. Most kids (and parents!) are nervous about the dentist. We’ve designed our Riccarton clinic to be calm, modern, and welcoming. Our skilled dental team uses the latest digital scanning technology—meaning no goopy moulds. Just a quick, comfortable 3D scan.

Why the 8-10 Year "Magic Window" Matters

Early intervention isn't just about straight teeth—it's about preventing bigger problems down the road.

Group 2

Catch Issues Early

Detecting crowding or bite issues at ages 8-10 allows us to guide jaw growth gently. This "Interceptive" approach often prevents the need for tooth extractions later in life.

Group 2

Tackle Teasing

Intermediate school can be tough. Fixing protruding or crooked teeth now ("Phase 1") helps your child enter their teenage years with a confident, happy smile.

Group 2

Shorter Treatment Later 

Fixing the foundations now often means if braces are needed in high school, the treatment time is significantly shorter and less complex.

Our goal is to educate children and parents on their current dental state. We offer advice on whether it is appropriate to assist at this stage, or simply monitor your child's growth and development—giving you a more holistic overview of their dental needs. We use digital 3D scanners and modern technology to make your child's assessment fast, fun, and completely comfortable.
