At Confident Orthodontics, we believe that exceptional patient care starts with continuous professional development — and our very own Dr Helen Griffiths has once again demonstrated that commitment by travelling to Milan, Italy, to take part in a prestigious four-day advanced biomechanics course led by renowned aligner expert Dr Susana Palma.

Earlier this week, Dr Helen attended an inspiring Invisalign course in Manchester led by the incredible Dr Sandeep Kumar!

It was a fantastic opportunity to connect with other clinicians, share experiences, and dive deeper into the latest techniques and innovations in clear aligner treatment.

Our very own Dr Helen recently attended an event hosted by local MP Gideon Amos to discuss the lack of NHS dental care for children in Somerset. The Magic Dentist charity was also there – an inspiring initiative using magic to engage children and raise awareness about good oral health.

This inspiring one-day course was all about achieving great finishing results in orthodontic treatments, whether using braces, clear aligners, or a combination of both.
Led by orthodontic experts Dr. Sunil Hirani and Professor Michel Le Gall, the course also featured a brilliant “troubleshooting cases” session where they shared solutions for challenging orthodontic situations

We’re thrilled to share that our very own Dr Helen Griffiths has been recognised for completing 250 Angel Aligner cases – a fantastic achievement that reflects her clinical expertise and dedication to patient care.
