  4. Brent and Harrow Section: Orthodontics

IN-PERSON EVENT, hosted by Brent and Harrow Section

What to expect

Join Anant Bakshi, Consultant Trained Specialist Orthodontist, for an insightful lecture exploring the integration of orthodontics with restorative dentistry through clinical cases involving braces, gingival grafting, composite build-ups, and bridgework.

Explore how orthodontics and restorative dentistry can work together to improve outcomes in complex cases. Anant will use real clinical examples to show how treatments like braces, grafting, composite build-ups and bridgework can be carefully combined for the best results.

You will learn how planning and timing each stage of treatment can make a big difference, including how pre-restorative orthodontics can support more predictable and long-lasting results. The session also highlights the importance of teamwork and communication across disciplines.

By the end, you will have a clearer understanding of how to plan and deliver combined orthodontic and restorative care to improve both function and aesthetics in everyday practice.
