I have provided specialist orthodontic care for over 17 years, treating both children and adults. I have experience with NHS and Private treatment, providing fixed, removable and Invisalign appliances. I am trained and certified with Align to use the Invisalign Clear Aligner system and I am pleased to be able to offer more virtual care and fewer visits to the practice.
