Dr Roger Hammond Orthodontist Northside

Dr Roger Hammond, Northside Orthodontics

Wouldn't it be nice to go to work to make people smile? It is a rare privilege to not just make people smile but create that smile. And it is the creation of these smiles and the relationships that develop with my patients that keep me keen to do what I do daily.

At Northside Orthodontics, I am very fortunate to have the amazing support and collegiality of my orthodontic partner, Steve, with whom I studied then went on to establish the practice. While we treat our patients individually, we work together to assess patients, finesse our procedures and critique our results. All of this would not be possible without our fantastic workmates who are the collective
engine of Northside Orthodontics.

After graduating from  the University of Sydney in 1989 with a degree in dentistry, I moved to Armidale then Byron Bay. I gained invaluable experience treating the whole range of dental conditions in all ages and stages of life. I also took the opportunity to travel and have some great life experiences.

Ten years after graduating as a dentist, I was offered a position to study as a specialist in Orthodontics. I returned to full time study and was awarded a Masters of Dental Science (Orthodontics) from the University of Sydney in 2001 and my thesis on sleep apnoea devices was subsequently published in the American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics. I enjoy all aspects of orthodontic treatment from primary school kids to those that are way older than me!
