ORTHODONTIST

Orthodontics is an art and a science, and we believe a solo operator hands-on approach, with one orthodontist carrying out the treatment, lends itself to achieving the best and most efficient outcome for the patient. We believe that this individual focus at each appointment gives the attention each patient deserves... To become an orthodontist, you must first graduate as a dentist following a 5 year dental degree. You must then work a minimum of 3 years in general dentistry prior to applying for a university position to undertake a 3 year full-time orthodontic programme. Only 2 to 4 positions at each university are available every year, which makes entry highly competitive. The degree itself is a combination of both clinical training and research leading to a thesis... We are a specialist orthodontic practice which prides itself on providing personal one-on-one care and treatment.
