The New Zealand team (212 athletes, 112 men and 100 women, across twenty-one sports) collected a total of 20 medals, seven gold, six silver and seven bronze. Well done:-) Rowing led the sports with five medals, followed by canoeing with three medals, two medals in each of rugby sevens, cycling and athletics, and one medal in each of sailing, golf, boxing, trampolining, tennis and triathlon. It was the first time New Zealand won medals in trampolining (and gymnastics overall) and tennis.

Sprint canoeist Lisa Carrington won gold medals in the women’s K-1 200 metres, K-1 500 metres and with Caitlin Regal in the K-2 500 metres to become New Zealand’s most successful Olympian with six medals in all, including five gold medals. Rower Emma Twigg claimed the gold medal in the women’s single sculls after finishing fourth in the previous two games. The men’s rowing eight claimed the gold medal for the first time since 1972, with Hamish Bond becoming the first New Zealander to win a gold medal at three successive Olympics. Rowing pair Kerri Gowler and Grace Prendergast won the gold medal in the women’s pair before helping the women’s-eight win the silver medal. The women’s rugby sevens team beat France 26–12 to claim the gold medal.

Early treatment is one of the keys to avoid the need to extract perfectly good teeth.

When should a child see an orthodontist? 

The Association of Orthodontists recommends kids have their first orthodontic screening when parents notice signs of an orthodontic problem or, by age 7. 

By this time the first permanent teeth will have come through.

So we will have a pretty good idea whether or not treatment needs to be started.

We will offer a free, regular oral development monitoring program for your child. This allows us to begin their individual treatment at the best time possible. 

A referral from your dentist is not necessary.

We have many years of experience & training in assessing a child’s pace of oral development. As such, it is usually immediately obvious to us what level of treatment will be required. 

In most of the early treatment cases, it is UNNECESSARY to remove a tooth for any reason.

1. We can identify extra or missing teeth

2. Correct harmful habits

3. Guide tooth eruption 

4. Correct jaw growth problems and sleep disorder breathing (sleep apnea)

5. Make room for crowded teeth

6. Boost self-esteem 

7. Prevent damage and trauma to the teeth and gums
