Dr. Theo Swanepoel (Orthodontist)
M.S.D.
Specialist in Orthodontics Treatment/Invisalign/ Lingual braces
With more than 28 years of experience and dedication to the field of Orthodontics, I strive to provide a pleasant patient journey combined with an excellent standard of care. I practice contemporary evidence-based orthodontics. The highlight of a working day is to see a patient with a great smile at the end of treatment, leading to my mission statement “a smile is a language everyone understands”.
I can use any kind of brace system available today, but my preference is in choosing between Win Lingual, Twin-wing or Self-ligating systems, Invisalign or in children, functional appliances.
I have 20 years of experience in providing NHS Orthodontic Services. I have worked in Specialist Orthodontic Practice since 2006, after limiting my field of practice to Orthodontics in 1998. I started using the Invisalign system in 2003 and have treated thousands of cases successfully. I attained a Masters Degree in Orthodontics in 2018, so you can be sure my knowledge is the most up to date, and combined with all the valuable years of experience, you are in safe hands.
