Dr Ashwin Nair

BDent (Hons)(Syd), DClinDent (Ortho)(Syd), MRACDS (Ortho), BMedSc (UNSW)

After completing a Bachelor in Medical Science at UNSW, Dr Ashwin went straight into dentistry at the University of Sydney, completing it with honours. HHe then worked in private practices in and around Sydney for seven years, working in all aspects of dentistry, while also participating in volunteer programs providing dental treatment to underprivileged people in Fiji.

Whilst in general practice, Dr Ashwin enjoyed treating children and teenagers and seeing the positive changes in their confidence whilst they underwent their orthodontic treatment with their orthodontist. After undertaking a number of continuing education courses, Dr Ashwin pursued his interest in orthodontics by returning to university. The three year specialist orthodontic program at the University of Sydney has provided Dr Ashwin with the skills to provide orthodontic treatment to a broad spectrum of patients, with treatments ranging from early intervention to orthognathic surgery.

It is vitally important to stay abreast of best practice and new developments within the field of orthodontics, and as such Dr Ashwin attends as many conferences and educational events as possible both in person and virtually. He is certified in the use of Invisalign, continuing to learn from the best in order to provide the most advanced treatment options to his patients.

While not at work, Dr Ashwin loves to spend time with his wife and friends, ideally with good food involved! He is also especially into both listening to and playing music and has been a part of a number of bands in and around Sydney. Sadly he is not nearly talented enough to quit his day job though (luckily for his patients).
