Orthodontist Hoppers Crossing

Dr. Sachin Agarwal (Specialist Orthodontist)

Affordable Orthodontics in Melbourne Biography-Dr.Sachin Agarwal has received his dental and postgraduate qualification in orthodontics at Manipal University. To further his understanding of orthodontics, he went to University of Connecticut (UConn), School of Dental Medicine, USA to undertake advanced dual degree (Certificate in Orthodontics and Masters
of Dental Science), where he was guided and nurtured by the world-renowned gurus of orthodontics professor Charles J Burstone and professor Ravindra Nanda. In 2015, he was offered a teaching position as Senior Lecturer, Melbourne Dental School at the University of Melbourne. Since then, he has been engaged in teaching
the next generation of orthodontists in Melbourne and practicing as a registered specialist orthodontist.

Giving Back to the Orthodontic Community

As a part of our social and professional responsibility to give back to society, Dr. Sachin conducts the Orthodontic Biomechanics course every year, where he presents about Orthodontic Biomechanics (understanding of force applied on to teeth and how they move within the bone). The course is open to orthodontic postgraduate students and practicing orthodontists; money raised goes to the Orthodontic Department, the University of Melbourne to enhance the teaching facilities for undergraduate and postgraduate students (https://www.aso.org.au/events/orthodontic-biomechanics-course). Dr. Sachin also supports Give A Smile program, a public health initiative established by the Australian Society of orthodontist (https://www.aso.org.au/give-smile).

Bespoke Orthodontic treatment outcomes, Evidence based approach backed by decades of continued study and published research work. Trained and mentored by late Professor Charles J Burtstone and Professor Ravi nanda (Global Authority in orthodontics).Following the gold standards in orthodontic biomechanics.
