Dentist
Linda is a general dentist with more than 35 years of clinical experience in all aspects of dentistry. Her passion is to provide airway focused orthodontics to patients from the ages of about 6 and upwards. She has a special interest in how breathing patterns, muscle function, and tongue posture affect a child’s teeth, jaw development, sleep, and overall wellbeing. Linda has also spent many years learning about orthodontics for adults using braces and clear aligners, a discreet alternative to braces. Linda graduated with a Bachelor of Dental Science from The University of Melbourne in 1990 and completed a post-graduate diploma in Forensic Dentistry in 1994. Her training in forensic dentistry led her to be deployed overseas with the Australian Federal Police to assist with victim identification following the Bali Bombing and the Thai tsunami, and then with The Black Saturday bushfires. In her spare time Linda enjoys going to the gym, traveling to new and exciting places and spending time with her family.
