Services

Invisalign

Invisalign uses custom-made, nearly invisible plastic aligners to gradually straighten teeth. The iTero Digital Scanner ensures precise 3D scans for a perfect fit, offering a comfortable, hygienic alternative to traditional braces without metal brackets or wires.

Metal Braces

Durable metal braces utilise brackets, archwires, and elastic bands to effectively reposition teeth. Modern designs feature smaller brackets and clear components for improved aesthetics while maintaining proven results for complex cases.

Ceramic Braces

Ceramic braces blend with natural teeth using translucent porcelain brackets. This discreet option provides the same effectiveness as metal braces, ideal for patients prioritising aesthetics during orthodontic treatment.

My daughter Georgia needed braces and Dr Con came highly recommended. We were booked in late Feb 2019 and all appointments before and during her time with braces were great. Even during Covid times, the staff were welcoming and professional and they had the upmost care for Georgia. Braces are never fun to deal with but Dr Con always made her feel at ease and smile whenever we saw him. Braces came off in June 2021 and the results are simply beautiful. Her smile speaks for itself. Would definitely recommend Dr Con to anyone needing orthodontic work.

Thank you to Dr Con for his patience and professionalism with my daughter. Each visit Dr Con and The Orthodontics Team was very clear in their communication. I would also like to give the reception staff a big shout out who managed to secure a date prior to my daughters 16th birthday to have the braces removed. They look amazing! I would recommend Dr Con and his staff without any hesitation to anybody looking to have orthodontic work, treatment and care.

My daughter Emily has low functioning autism and has been attending the Hutt street clinic for 2years.
Con laparadis has been absolutely wonderful, he truly cares about his patients. Always gives positive feedback to us at every visit. Is patient and understanding with my daughter as she is non verbal. Jade is wonderful too, her soft kind nature shines through every time. Emily always feels welcome and safe with jade. Thankyou to everyone involved in Emily's dental experience. Kind regards Michelle nikolavcic.

Lovely, caring people that always try their best. Con is an amazing doctor and person and his work is of such high quality, he looks after you like he would his own children. Jade has technically been so professional and again her work is of a high standard, she has been so lovely to work with and has made the whole process so much easier. I couldnt imagine going through this experience with any other practice Thank you Dr Con and team.
