Are you looking to straighten your teeth in 3 months to a year?

Glendowie Dental Centre

Need something that’s affordable for you? Maybe you have a wedding or another special occasion coming up that you want to have a dazzling smile for? Then Fastbraces® could be for you!

Traditional fixed brace brackets are square in shape, and more often than not they move the crown of the tooth(The part of your tooth that you can see) in the first year, followed by the movement of the root of the tooth in the second year. The specially designed triangular design of the braces used for Fastbraces® gently allows movement of the crown and root of the teeth at the same time, meaning you can achieve full results in one year of treatment as opposed to two.
University research has shown that Fastbraces® are even more comfortable than traditional braces!

The research showed lower sensitivity compared to traditional braces. This may be because Fastbraces® use just one orthodontic wire throughout your treatment whereas traditional braces require multiple wires and adjustments throughout treatment.

Fastbraces® is now approaching its 25 year anniversary! Fastbraces® commitment to using top of the range tech to create faster and more comfortable braces means that we can have you smiling again in no time!

Many of our patients, both children, and adults, have heavily benefited from the fantastic technology of Fastbraces® here at Glendowie Dental Centre.
Dr. Gin Wong is one of NZ's Senior Master FastBraces Provider!

Original Art on Baseball Caps / Hats

Connie from Remuera

Hello everyone,

I am presenting a limited release of hand-painted artwork on Baseball Caps. There will only be 29 caps in this range. For now, please do have a look at the first seven Caps attached. I will post more in the future as I work on them.

Price per piece = $55.00.
Fabric look/feel is suede-like (not real suede). It is a really nice quality cap. You can zoom out each photo to view better.
Adjustable backstrap with metal clasp.
NOTE: Some Caps have more than one photo to give you views from different sides (I can send you more photos if required).

Mother's Day is just two weeks away. This would make a really memorable yet practical gift for that special person. OR...get it for yourself! Just know that when you are wearing it to brunch, on your walks or at tennis/golf, YOU are the only person in the world with this original piece of wearable art ☺️.

Pickup in Remuera or happy to courier:
P&p $16.00 (with signature)
Rural addresses +$5.50.
If you want it sent overseas, I am happy to quote.

For the remaining Caps that I will be painting, if you have any suggestions that you would like to see, or if you would like to order a cap with a particular bird/flower et , I am happy to consider. No portraits please! That would be too hard on fabric 😅.

Have a lovely weekend,
Connie.
PS. I apologise for the low photo resolution as I had to resize them down to be able to post.
