My staff and I are pleased to introduce our practice in Colchester, a member of the OrthoWorld Group.

There has been, in recent years, an incredible upsurge in the number of patients who now realise the benefits of good orthodontic treatment. One cannot over-estimate how an attractive smile and facial appearance can generate new found confidence for youngsters as well as for the more mature person.

I have been in specialist practice for over 20 years. I gained my degree as a General Dentist in 1970 and practiced as such in London for 4 years. As part of my second degree, I concentrated on psychological considerations in dentistry. This was then followed by a Masters degree in the branch of Orthodontics in 1980. All these degrees were achieved at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa.

In addition to the above, I have been on the teaching staff at the University from 1974 until 1992. My commitment to orthodontics also involved me in becoming Secretary to the South African Society of Orthodontics plus being a member of various subcommittees within the Society, one of which was the Continuing Education Committee. In addition to organising various courses, I have been active in updating my knowledge so that I can deliver modern, up-to-date orthodontics to all, from the young child who is just getting new permanent teeth to the mature adult.

The staff at the Colchester practice is truly committed to giving all our patients their best attention. They are friendly and knowledgeable and have been involved in the treatment of orthodontics for many years. They can empathise and relate directly with our patients' needs both before and during treatment and are always available to help or chat about apprehensions and difficulties the patients may experience.

We look forward to seeing you at the practice.
