Why Epsom families choose a specialist
A specialist, every time

One all-inclusive fee
Records, appliances, every appointment, retainers and aftercare are quoted in one fee, so nothing turns up later.
Easy for busy weeks
Opposite the train station, so teenagers can come from school on their own and adults can slip out at lunchtime.
Braces, clear aligners and early treatment
Braces
Metal and clear braces for teenagers and adults, including the complex bites aligners cannot handle well. See braces in Auckland.
Clear aligners
Near invisible removable trays, planned by a specialist using the Clarity and Angel Aligners systems. See clear aligners.
Children and early treatment
A first check around age seven, and early treatment only where it genuinely helps. See children's orthodontics.
Clear pricing, the same at both clinics
The first step is a free 20 minute Smile Assessment with our Treatment Coordinator. A full diagnostic work-up, written plan and exact quote is $390.
Fees include records, appliances, every appointment, retainers and aftercare. Full details on our prices page.
Epsom questions, answered honestly
Is there a specialist orthodontist in Epsom?
The closest specialist orthodontic clinic to Epsom is Milk Orthodontics at Suite 27, 2 Nuffield Street, Newmarket, a short drive up Manukau Road or Gillies Avenue. Some Epsom dental practices offer tooth straightening, but at Milk every plan is made and directed by Dr Shaz MacAvoy, a registered specialist orthodontist. No referral is needed to book.
How do I get to Milk Orthodontics from Epsom?

There is paid parking in the Nuffield Street Carpark, activated through the Westfield Plus app and entered from 40 Nuffield Street, and Suite 27 is under a minute's walk from there. We are also directly opposite Newmarket Station.
Do you offer Invisalign in Epsom?
Looking for Invisalign in Epsom? We offer specialist-planned clear aligners using the Clarity and Angel Aligners systems, chosen case by case. We treated patients with Invisalign in the past and no longer use that brand. What matters is that a specialist orthodontist plans and monitors the movement, rather than a lab or an app, and we will happily explain how the systems compare.
How much do braces cost for an Epsom family?
Simple cosmetic treatment starts from $7,900 and comprehensive specialist treatment from $9,900, all-inclusive of records, appliances, every appointment, retainers and aftercare. Children's Phase 1 early treatment starts from $4,500. A full diagnostic work-up with a written plan and your exact quote is $390, and interest-free in-house payment plans are available.
Can a teenager get to appointments from school on their own?
Yes, and a lot of them do. There are several secondary schools within a short bus ride of Newmarket, and we are directly opposite the train station, so review appointments can happen without a parent taking half a day off. We will always let you know what was done and what comes next.
