Ridwan grew from a quite young boy to adulthood during which time he visited FIRST Ortho.

His treatment took just 16 months during his teenage years and his mature development to a young man was exceptional.

Memorable moment: Meeting with his mother soon after fitting the brace. She wanted the expander removed as he was having difficulty in the first few days. Ridwan listened to our explanation to give it a bit more time. He did and explained to his mum he will be alright – and he was. Something I will always remember.

Arch expansion is an excellent way to correct crossbites and create space without the need for extractions. It is very efficient and achieved in 3-4 months cutting down on treatment times by 30%.

Memorable moment: his photoshoot. Best image being the Black and white seen at the end of the video.

As orthodontists we can overlook, or underestimate, the value of our work. Probably as we can get engrossed on a technical levels to ensure a result. Then, someone comes over and says something simple, yet profound, that touches on the very essence to the meaning of our work and being. This is Carmen’s story.

Carmel recently came for a 9 year review. I asked her for a video testimonial and I must say there was a very moving moment which caught me unaware which really underlined the benefit of orthodontics.

Adult tooth movement is similar to teenagers. It can be affected if teeth have been lost either for previous orthodontics or dental health reasons or reduced bone support. We planned a conservative approach which was a wise decision.

The orthodontics was completed in 8 months and was very stable 9 years on.

Most Memorable moment/s: Carmel video testimonial.
