WIRE No.8
Number 8 wire was the preferred wire gauge for sheep fencing, so remote farms often had rolls of it on hand, and the wire would often be used inventively to solve mechanical or structural problems. Accordingly, the term "number 8 wire" came to represent the ingenuity and resourcefulness of New Zealanders, and the phrase "a number 8 wire mentality" evolved to denote an ability to create or repair machinery using whatever scrap materials are available on hand.
Our prefered wire is the high-end wire which comes with the SPEED™ SYSTEM
SPEED braces are a state of the art orthodontic system that does not use elastomeric ligatures. Instead, SPEED braces use spring-clips to straighten teeth. The clips are programmed by Bachmann Orthodontics to move teeth over time.
SPEED braces are smaller than regular braces making them easier to wear, more comfortable and aesthetically more refined. SPEED braces are also easy to clean, which helps patients maintain optimal oral health one of our primary concerns here at Bachmann Orthodontics.
Why SPEED™?
1). Improved oral hygiene
2). Smaller
3). Sleeker
4). Improved aesthetics
5). Faster treatment time
6). More comfortable to wear

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
