Abstract
Tell us a bit about your background. Where have you trained and what motivated you to become an orthodontist? I am an academic orthodontist at Newcastle University. After graduating from India in 2009, I moved to the UK to pursue a Master of Dental Public Health, followed by a studentship to do my doctorate at The University of Sheffield. I was awarded my doctorate in 2018. Close association with orthodontists during my PhD years, exploring patients' experience of orthognathic surgery, piqued my interest in two different but very closely associated sciences – orthodontics and behavioural sciences. Hence, I was encouraged to undertake clinical training in orthodontics as part of my NIHR Clinical Lectureship at Newcastle University and qualified as an orthodontist in 2022. I highly value the training I received in applying behavioural sciences in dental research, and passionately continue my work as an interdisciplinary researcher in orthodontics.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Orthodontics has an international circulation, publishing papers from throughout the world. The official journal of the British Orthodontic Society, it aims to publish high quality, evidence-based, clinically orientated or clinically relevant original research papers that will underpin evidence based orthodontic care. It particularly welcomes reports on prospective research into different treatment methods and techniques but also systematic reviews, meta-analyses and studies which will stimulate interest in new developments. Regular features include original papers on clinically relevant topics, clinical case reports, reviews of the orthodontic literature, editorials, book reviews, correspondence and other features of interest to the orthodontic community. The Journal is published in full colour throughout.
