Orthodontics

specialists are

dental surgeons with

a doctorate in dental surgery

who have undergone additional

advanced training in a very

specific field:

dentofacial orthopedics.

This specialist training lasts

4 years and includes theoretical

training at a university

and clinical training

in a hospital setting.

Your first appointment

will be a chance to get

to know you and to decide

whether treatment is indicated.

After that we will carry out

a comprehensive orthodontic

assessment to make

a precise diagnosis and draw up

a personalised

treatment plan.
