The results of this research were published in the Journal of Clinical Dentistry. Following a year as a vocational trainee in general dental practice, he had 2½ years of hospital surgical experience as senior house officer in maxillo-facial surgery. During this period Richard was awarded his Fellowship in Dental Surgery.  Richard spent a year in general dental practice gaining experience in all branches of dentistry before embarking on his orthodontic specialist training back at Guy’s. He completed the 3 year course in 2001, gaining an MSc and MOrth, and was then included on the General Dental Council specialist register (GDC No: 69758)  Richard now works in specialist practice providing friendly, high quality care. He actively keeps up to date with advances in orthodontics and is pleased to be able to provide a wide range of treatments and appliances to suit most patients’ needs.
