Orthodontic Practice in London City E1

Dr Murtuza Hasnaini
Specialist Orthodontist, Practice Principal
BDS (Hons), MFDS RCS (Eng), MSc, MOrth RCS (Ed), MOrth RCS (Eng)
Invisalign Gold Practitioner

As the Leader of the team, it is my aim to make sure that all of our patients receive a world class service and attain outstanding treatment results; and this is exactly what I believe we achieve. It is especially rewarding to hear our clinics recommended to the friends and family of patients we have treated. We don't just look to change smiles at The Brace, we want to make a real difference to the lives of our clients.

To wind down I enjoy playing both cricket and squash. I am also fascinated by learning about new cultures and love to travel to new places. As a father though, my young son has to be my biggest hobby! I do have one burning ambition...to learn to fly an aeroplane!
