It’s all about a good team.

Bachmann Orthodontics

What is the best orthodontic practice without a team which is working perfectly together like clockwork?
After losing some awesome team members by pregnancy, we have some new team members on board. All new orthodontic team members studied a lot of new techniques during the Easter break to be always at the pulse for the latest orthodontic state-of-the-art methods. Our professional, skilled and friendly team are always helping us to create your beautiful smile.
Thank you, team. You are fantastic and doing a great job!
You make us smile.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
