09 4381668Rachel J Moore BDS, MDS Orthodontics
Registered Specialist Orthodontist
Having been brought up in Southland, Rachel attended Otago University, graduating as a dentist in 1991. Following three years in general dental practice, she gained a special interest in cosmetic dentistry and creating beautiful smiles. Orthodontics beckoned her and Rachel quickly recognised that “a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing”, so she returned to Otago University for a further 3 years of study, graduating with a specialist master’s degree in orthodontics in 1997.
Since then, Rachel has been in specialist orthodontic practice at Northland Orthodontics, now Your Smile Orthodontist, in Whangarei and also holds the position of Consultant Orthodontist at Whangarei hospital. She has been actively involved in the Northland branch of the NZDA, as well as various committees of the NZAO and has given regular presentations on orthodontics to Northland’s dentists, dental therapists, and hygienists.
Rachel certainly understands how busy life is for families these days, with two teenagers of her own! When not busy improving smiles, she enjoys spending time with her family, particularly at Northland’s wonderful beaches.
