Orthodontics for Adults

HELLO. WE ARE FARELLA ORTHODONTICS.
Welcome to Farella Orthodontics, where Professor Mauro Farella, a globally recognized orthodontist, designs beautiful, confident smiles for all ages. Conveniently located in Dunedin, our clinic offers cutting-edge digital technology for a comfortable and effective orthodontic experience. At Farella Orthodontics, we offer a wide range of clinical services to straighten your teeth and to correct your bite at any age. So come on in!
Orthodontics for Children
Early childhood screenings at Farella Orthodontics help prevent and treat orthodontic issues, ensuring a healthy smile from the start.
Orthodontics for Teens
The ideal time for orthodontic treatment is between age 11 and age 14 years. At that time, all or most of the baby teeth have been lost, and adult teeth should be in place. These are surrounded by a relatively soft bone making orthodontic treatment much easier and a lot more effective, whilst causing very minimal discomfort, if at all.

Meet Jen
Admin / Receptionist
Jen joined Farella Orthodontics in October 2022 and brought with her a healthy mix of work experience including Advertising, Recruitment, Personal Training, Pilates teaching, and, since moving to Dunedin in 2016, Medical Reception/administration and more Pilates teaching! Accordingly, it’s safe to say Jen loves a job where the needs of people are at the forefront. In this role, she loves meeting new and existing patients and really enjoys the “familiar, family atmosphere” which is inevitable in the Orthodontic space, due to the regularity of visits over the course of treatment. She gets a real kick out of seeing positive changes in the smiles and confidence of our patients.
Meet Sherry
Dental Assistant / Oral Health
Sherry is Chinese born in New Zealand and can speak English, Mandarin and Cantonese. She was raised in China and moved to Dunedin for university and is now in her second year of studying Oral Health. In her spare time, she enjoys going to the gym, baking, cooking and seeking new recipes. Sherry has been working as a dental assistant with Mauro since November 2022. Her dedication and compassion shine through as she provides supportive care to patients throughout their orthodontic treatments. Sherry is deeply committed to integrating her experiences and knowledge from the field of oral health into her role. She consistently takes the initiative to assist patients in enhancing their oral hygiene while undergoing orthodontic treatments with braces.
Meet Delwyn
Receptionist
Delwyn joined Farella Orthodontics in May 2023 doing reception for the Wednesday clinic. Delwyn has worked in banking and administration for over 30 years and is loving the people contact that working in this clinic brings. She has two grown children, one of whom had orthodontal care under Prof. Farella at the Dunedin dental school. So seeing confidence and self esteem grow and blossom when children have their smiles fixed is very close to her heart. “I love the continuity of orthodontics. You get to know the patients and their family pretty well over the time of treatment”.
Meet Lulu
Practice Manager
Ludovica (Lulu) is originally from Italy, but she has traveled around the world in pursuit of her dream and vocation in the field of dentistry. She graduated in Dentistry in Spain in 2016, and specialized in Orthodontics in Italy in 2020. She is trilingual and speaks Italian, English and Spanish. Lulu is our practice manager and understands that a visit to the dentist/orthodontist can be a source of anxiety for some, so she goes above and beyond to create a welcoming and reassuring environment for all patients.
