The department focuses on the management of anomalies in growth and development of the teeth and jaws including both syndromic and non-syndromic disorders. We have a special expertise in caring for patients with severe malocclusions, especially those requiring complex multidisciplinary care and for which we have a world-wide reputation, including dentofacial and craniofacial deformity, hypodontia, and combined orthodontic / prosthodontics and paediatric care.
We also have extensive experience and expertise in caring for young patients with dento-alveolar trauma and special needs. There are strong links with Great Ormond Street Hospital and University College Hospital
