Dr Roelien has dentistry in her genes. Her father is a very prominent orthodontist in South Africa and her grandfather also practised as a general dentist and lectured at Pretoria’s dental school. As a child, she was exposed to braces, crooked teeth and the happy smiles of patients who finished their treatments.
Dr Roelien brings over a decade of experience in Orthodontics to the team. She has profound specialist knowledge in maxilla-facial and oral surgery, as well as dentofacial orthopaedics. Continuously updating her knowledge, Dr Roelien is versed in different orthodontic treatments. She is able to explain differences, advantages and disadvantages and decide with her patients which treatment provides the optimal way to beautiful and healthy teeth.
She completed her education and training in South Africa, Scotland, Sweden and Dubai. She owns her own clinic in South Africa and has years of professional experience in the UAE. When she is not at the clinic, she is publishing and lecturing on orthodontics, in the UAE and abroad.
