When it comes to our children, there’s nothing more precious than their smile. It’s the way they light up a room, the confidence they carry into
school, or the joy they share with friends. At Apex Orthodontics, we believe every smile tells a story—and we’re here to help make that story one
of health, happiness, and confidence.
Why See an Orthodontist?
Just as medicine has cardiologists for the heart or dermatologists for the skin, dentistry has its own specialists—orthodontists. Orthodontists
focus solely on straightening teeth and correcting jaw alignment, helping to create smiles that don’t just look beautiful, but also support lifelong
health and confidence.
Dr Tapiwa Gwengo, the specialist orthodontist at Apex Orthodontics, explains:
“Orthodontics is more than moving teeth—it’s about unlocking confidence. I love seeing a shy child who starts treatment with their hand over
their mouth and ends it laughing freely with a smile they’re proud to share.”
The Apex Difference
Choosing orthodontic treatment is a big decision, whether for your child or yourself. At Apex Orthodontics, we understand the emotions and
questions that come with it. That’s why we’ve built our practice around one simple idea: every patient should feel heard, supported, and cared for.
From the first consultation to the day the braces or aligners come off, we aim to make every step warm and reassuring. Parents often tell us their
children actually look forward to their visits—something we’re very proud of.
One mum recently shared that her daughter, once nervous about her teeth, now can’t stop smiling in family photos. “She’s like a different child,”
the mum said, “and that’s thanks to Dr Gwengo and his team making her feel safe and understood.”
Affordable, Accessible Care
We also know orthodontic care is a significant investment. At Apex Orthodontics, we believe financial worries shouldn’t stand in the way of
a healthy, confident smile. That’s why we offer flexible, transparent payment options designed to fi t family budgets.
As Dr Gwengo puts it:
“Every family deserves access to great care. We’re here to make it possible, without compromises.”
Meet Dr Gwengo
With specialist training from the University of Queensland and a warm, approachable manner, Dr Gwengo brings together advanced expertise
with genuine compassion. He is an expert in treating patients with both braces and clear aligners (such as Invisalign), and has helped children,
teens, and adults choose the option that best fi ts their lifestyle and smile goals.
What sets him apart is his belief that every patient is more than just teeth on a chart.
“I always take time to listen to what’s most important to my patients. For some, it’s about health and function. For others, it’s about self-esteem.
My role is to guide them to the best outcome while making the journey positive and empowering.”
Dr Gwengo’s advanced training also allows him to treat more complex orthodontic cases, including those that may require jaw surgery, always
with a focus on comfort, stability, and long-term results.
A Place for Families
At Apex Orthodontics, we’ve created a welcoming environment where families feel at ease, questions are encouraged, and every milestone is
celebrated. Whether it’s a child’s first consultation or an adult’s long-awaited transformation, we’re honoured to be part of these journeys.
Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about straight teeth—it’s about confidence, joy, and a smile that lasts a lifetime.
