Made my daughter feel at ease
From the very first visit the whole team put my daughter at ease. She actually looks forward to her appointments now.
Two Specialists. Three Clinics. One Trusted Practice.
Bay Orthodontics is Tauranga’s specialist orthodontic practice, with clinics serving patients across Tauranga, Whakatane, and Rotorua.
Our practice is led by two registered specialist orthodontists, Mark Johnson and Justin Kearney, both of whom have completed advanced postgraduate training in orthodontics beyond general dentistry. That specialist qualification matters. A specialist orthodontist focuses exclusively on tooth movement and jaw alignment, ensuring a higher standard of diagnosis, treatment planning, and long-term outcomes for patients of all ages.
With clinics in Tauranga, Whakatane, and Rotorua, Bay Orthodontics makes specialist care accessible across the wider Bay of Plenty region. Whether you’re based in the city or further afield, there’s a Bay Orthodontics clinic close to you.
TREATMENTS
Braces, Invisalign, and More
Bay Orthodontics offers the full range of modern orthodontic treatments, including:
Starting Your Orthodontic Journey in Tauranga
Beginning treatment at Bay Orthodontics is straightforward. Your initial appointment gives our specialists the opportunity to assess your teeth, take digital panoramic X-rays if needed, and walk you through your options without any pressure or obligation. We believe informed patients make better decisions, so we take the time to explain what each treatment entails, what results to expect, and the timeline.
If you have been wondering whether braces or Invisalign in Tauranga are right for you, or if you have a child who may benefit from early orthodontic assessment, we encourage you to book a consultation with our team. Specialist care from a practice with deep roots in the Bay of Plenty community is closer than you think.
