Assessing Growing Smiles
Dr Naser-ud-Din particularly enjoys working with children. She assesses how their teeth and jaws are developing and discusses whether monitoring or treatment is recommended. Not every child needs early orthodontic treatment.
For selected children, options may include interceptive orthodontics using Invisalign® First or appliances to address particular bite concerns. Planning considers crowding, jaw development, and oral habits. Whether treatment involves removing teeth depends on the individual assessment.
She also enjoys helping adults understand their orthodontic options.
Making Visits Fun for Kids
Ever watched a child spin a 3D model of their own teeth? Kids love rotating their digital scans during her interactive planning sessions, and she builds each plan around their individual needs. As a mum herself, she knows how to connect with young patients and keep them interested, so they feel like part of the team.
Outside the Clinic
Dr Naser-ud-Din speaks several languages, which makes for some great chats with patients. She loves time with family and friends, and she paints Australia’s unique flora and fauna on canvas and wood. Her motto? Healthy, happy smiles start early.
