Michael Mew
|
Michael has been working in Dentics in the heart of the City of London for 6 years since qualifying as a specialist orthodontist. His practice is limited to quality adult orthodontics aimed at providing non-visible solutions using a range of appliances (including Invisalign) to a demanding clientele.
Education;
- General dental training at the Royal London Hospital, qualifying in 1993 at the age of 23
- Postgraduate specialist orthodontic training at the Royal Aarhus Dental School (considered to be the best programme in the world for adult orthodontics) under the Prof Birte Melsen (the most published female orthodontist in the world- and a hard task master)
History and influences;
Dr Mew is one of the only third generation orthodontists, his Father (John Mew) is probably the most controversial orthodontists in the world which has kept him on his toes within the community and always up to date with the latest techniques, ideas and news from before he even entered the world of dentistry. With orthodontics and controversy in his blood he has an experienced caring approach.
- One year as a Senior House Officer in Maxillofacial surgery and Orthodontics 96’ till 97’ in Eastbourne and Brighton, involving facial surgery and complex surgical orthodontic treatments. It is only when you have seen and felt the bones under the skin that you can really visualise them and know what you can and cannot do.
- Working in a busy NHS “factory” orthodontic practice, seeing children at 10min intervals for 4 years part time from 97’. This gave him an invaluable breath of knowledge in both what to do and what not to do. It is in these types of clinics that most orthodontics is provided in the country but the financial and time constraints are not compatible with a high level of quality. Once you start cutting corners few clinicians recover, and unable to maintain the level of quality that he desired he no longer provides NHS treatment of any type.
- He has worked one day a week in a chair alongside his Father since 97’ which has been invaluable, “there is no better way to learn” and there is no one in the country and possibly the world more experienced than his Father. This has been an invaluable learning experience which is just not possible for most people.
- Qualified and registered as an Invisalign provider in 2004’, and has been providing quality Invisalign treatment ever since.
Horizon widening experience;
He has worked in South Africa providing surgery and primary dental care in the Johannesburg townships including Soweto and teaching in the University of the Witswatersrand, and also in Darwin, Australia in a community clinic, flying into aboriginal townships to provide dental care. He has travelled the world teaching Orthotropics with his father in North and South America, Australia and Europe.
Few orthodontists have had the chance to gain the width and breadth of experience that Michael has so far gained. He continues to be at the forfront of orthodontics asking questions that few want to face such as his latest publication “The Black Swan”
