The team at Ortho Heverlee includes two orthodontic specialists. An orthodontic specialist qualification is achieved by completing an additional 4-year degree in orthodontics after the successful completion of a university degree in dentistry. An orthodontic specialist is a specialised dentist and does not agree with the INAMI convention.
Our team is supported by an office manager, practice assistent, medical assistants/dental technician and dental hygenist. They manage the practice and will support you throughout your appointments. A dental hygienist has completed a 3-year bachelor training and is therefore allowed to perform certain reserved treatments in the mouth. They ensure proper follow-up of the oral hygiene of our patients and assist the orthodontist with specific treatments.
