What is a Specialist Orthodontist?
Specialist Orthodontists have undertaken extensive training to understand the nuances of creating beautiful smiles. In New Zealand, Specialist Orthodontists undertake eight years of full-time university study and must be registered with the Dental Council of New Zealand under the Specialist Scope of Orthodontic Practice. It is this intensive training that places them in the best position to provide bespoke orthodontic care to their patients. Specialist Orthodontists have trained as dentists, completing a five year degree in dentistry, before returning to university to complete a further three year Doctor of Clinical Dentistry in Orthodontics, comprising both clinical treatment and research leading to publication of a thesis.
Dr Kimberley Timmins received both her Bachelor of Dental Surgery (Distinction) and Doctor of Clinical Dentistry (Orthodontics) at the University of Otago.
