WHO WE ARE


YOUR SMILE SPECIALISTS.

WE ARE THE BAY OF PLENTY’S TEETH STRAIGHTENING SPECIALISTS, WITH ORTHODONTIC
CLINICS IN MT MAUNGANUI, PAPAMOA (TAURANGA) AND WHAKATANE.

At The Orthodontic Hub, we are orthodontists, not dentists.

We are a modern, leading orthodontic practice, that provides specialist
treatment for dental, facial and skeletal irregularities. Founded by Specialist
Orthodontist Doctor Gareth Benic, The Orthodontic Hub is here to help you
achieve your perfect smile.

Based in Mount Maunganui and Papamoa (Tauranga), with a branch practice in
Whakatane, The Orthodontic Hub has a clear focus – to provide customised
treatment plans, create perfect smiles, happy and confident patients.

It is a long, competitive process to become a Specialist Orthodontist. Whether
it be clear ceramic braces, Clear Aligners such as Invisalign, or hidden
Incognito braces, Gareth has undertaken 10 years of Undergraduate and
Postgraduate University training to be able to safely and efficiently deliver
your ideal orthodontic treatment.

The Orthodontic Hub caters to the needs of patients from Tauranga, Otumoetai,
Mount Maunganui, Papamoa, Te Puke and Whakatane.



At The Orthodontic Hub, it’s the people as well as the teeth that matter to us.

WE DO IT FOR THE FIRST LOOK.

For the moment when you see what your real smile looks like.
And for afterwards, when you share your new smile with every person you meet.



WE DO IT FOR THE CONFIDENCE.

For the smiling in photos without a second thought.
And for when you eventually forget that you’d even had treatment at all.

WE DO IT FOR THE GLANCES IN THE MIRROR.

For those second takes when you forget,
and rediscover your new look all over again.



WE DO IT FOR THE PEOPLE.

For knowing that we helped give you the smile you deserve,
and helped to make you feel amazing.




WE DO IT FOR YOU.
