our orthodontists

Richard joined Smart Orthodontics in 2001 after completing his Bachelor of Dental Surgery from Otago, New Zealand and Doctor of Clinical Dentistry from the University of Adelaide. Since then he has been an active member of the orthodontic community, serving as a council member for several years and then as President of the South Australian Branch of the Australian Society of Orthodontists in 2007-2008.

Since 2003 Richard has served as a Consultant Orthodontist to the Women’s and Children’s Hospital and Australian Craniofacial Unit where he regularly works with patients with complex medical conditions, craniofacial disorders and cleft lips and palates. He has presented at both Orthodontic and Craniofacial Conferences on this subject and is involved in the education and teaching of post-graduate students from the University of Adelaide.

With his wide range of experience and active involvement in both the orthodontic and craniofacial community, Richard strives to provide his patients with the best possible care.
