After completing his undergraduate dental training in Newcastle in 2001, Andrew progressed through vocational training and general professional training. He then embarked on two and half years of maxillofacial surgery training before starting his specialist orthodontic training in 2006.

Andrew won the only British Orthodontic Society Medal for excellence in clinical treatment in 2009, and completed his specialist orthodontic training in the Yorkshire region the same year. In 2011 he qualified as an Orthodontic Consultant, and he currently sits on the editorial board of the Orthodontic Update journal.

Andrew holds a part-time consultant position at Montagu Hospital, Mexborough where he is involved in complex treatments, teaching and research. Andrew has interests in all areas of orthodontics, including a special interest in aesthetic and lingual appliance systems.

When he is not spending time with his young family, Andrew continues to enjoy his lifelong passion of football and winter sports, although his failing knees are pointing him toward the golf course. His knees, however, have held up recently for him to complete numerous 100km non-stop races across the national parks.

Mick is originally from Kent but moved to Yorkshire in 1993 to undertake his undergraduate dental training. He completed his dental degree at Leeds Dental Institute in 1998.

After working as a children’s dentist in Australia for a year he returned to Yorkshire to continue his studies in oral surgery and general dental practice. He entered specialist orthodontic training in 2007 at the Leeds Dental Institute and York District Hospital.

Mick completed specialist training in 2010 and has since worked exclusively in a specialist orthodontic practice in the region.

During that time, he developed a keen interest in treating adolescent patients with jaw discrepancies and using discreet orthodontic appliances such as clear aligners and lingual appliances (braces on the inside of the teeth).

Mick is married and has a busy family life with four young children who occupy most of his spare time. He does, however, find time for the occasional game of golf now that his rugby-playing days are behind him.

Paul studied dentistry at Leeds University, qualifying in 1999. He then spent several years gaining a broad postgraduate education, working in both NHS and private general dental practice, community and hospital service in both the UK and New Zealand – with posts in paediatric dentistry and maxillofacial surgery.

He was awarded a Fellowship in Orthodontics by the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh in 2012, recognising his training to consultant orthodontist level.

Paul undertook his postgraduate orthodontics training at Guys Hospital London, where he was awarded the degree of Master of Science in Orthodontics (King’s College London) and Membership in Orthodontics from the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh in 2007.

Paul also won the University Teachers’ Award for the best research project at the 2007 British Orthodontic Conference.

Paul has worked as a specialist in North Leeds since 2007 and in 2009 undertook further consultant training, treating cases requiring multidisciplinary care, such as hypodontia, cleft lip and palate and orthognathic surgery at Leeds Dental Institute and York District Hospital.

As well as working as a Specialist Orthodontist at Yorkshire Orthodontics, Paul holds a part-time consultant post with a special interest in cleft lip and palate at Doncaster Royal Infirmary and the Montagu Hospital, Mexborough.

Paul has published extensively in dental and orthodontic literature and is currently a reviewer for a number of orthodontic journals. His main clinical interests are adult orthodontics, the treatment of patients with cleft lip and palate, orthognathic surgery and teaching.
