Athyr graduated from United Medical & Dental Schools of Guy’s & St Thomas’ in 1996 and has been providing orthodontic treatment since 1999.
He is experienced with traditional types of of orthodontic appliance, but is especially interested in the more ‘discrete’ options such as Invisalign and lingual orthodontics. He has been awarded the status of Platinum Invisalign Doctor in view of the number of cases treated.
His treatment planning is based on facial profile, and the establishment of a healthy relationship between the teeth, joints and facial muscles.
Technology is an important part of the treatment planning process, with computerised assessment of the face and underlying skeletal structure, and predictions of facial profile following treatment, in addition to smile assessment.
In addition to orthodontic treatment, Dr Al-Killidar diagnoses and treats many patients referred for jaw joint problems, and related disorders including headaches, neck aches, ear symptoms, excess tooth wear, tooth clenching and grinding.
He is involved in research, lectures to various groups, and his professional memberships include the British Dental Association, British Orthodontic Society, ADAPT, and the British Society for the Study of Craniomandibular Disorders.
This combined with his caring and meticulous approach to treatment have enhanced his reputation amongst his professional colleagues and patients alike.
