StaffNewbury Orthodontic Centre was established in 1988, Mr. Mak has worked here as an associate since 1992 and as a principal since 1998. Miss Wilson joined us as an associate in 2003. Miss Jackson joined as a locum orthodontist in 2008 and as an associate in 2009.

This is a practice that limits its treatment to Orthodontics; your dentist provides all other dental treatment. It is essential that you continue to see your dentist for regular routine care to ensure good oral health throughout your orthodontic treatment.
