Dr Geoffrey Hall

Orthodontist

Dr Geoffrey Hall completed his dental training at the University of Melbourne in 1983, and then pursued his postgraduate orthodontic training at the University of Pennsylvania in 1990. While he had mixed results with his undergraduate dental education, he found his passion in orthodontics, coming first in his class at the University of Pennsylvania. ​ That passion led him to open his successful practice at South Caulfield in Melbourne, where he specialised iin adult and children treatments including early treatment, conventional adolescent therapy, short-term orthodontics (Smilefast) and cosmetic treatment options including lingual braces, Invisalign and other aligner systems, and a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary treatment, including orthognathic surgical cases. . Over 28 years in practice and 10,000 orthodontic cases later, he has now dedicated himself to being the leading orthodontic educator for General Dentists, through The OrthoED Institute. ​ Having developed the short term cosmetic orthodontic treatment called Smilefast, (with over 500 dentists having completed their training in Australia) the success is based around the unique digital indirect bonding system, the comprehensive theory, formulated from sound orthodontic principles and pre-course material. Add in the online support and Smilefast has developed into a profitable revenue stream for many of the dentists, who have embraced orthodontics into their practice. ​ Dr Hall developed the OrthoEd Institute programme to give General

When is the time for orthodontic tooth movement after periodontal treatment? Periodontal health is a sine qua non condition before any orthodontic treatment. Defining health and healing outcomes after periodontal treatment for gingivitis and early-stage periodontitis patients might be more straightforward. However, this is definitely not the case for advanced stages and grades of periodontitis cases. When is the time for orthodontic tooth movement after periodontal treatment? In this talk, the current concepts of health and periodontal stability, periodontal therapy endpoints, and the timing to achieve them based on the biology of periodontal wound healing will be explored, trying to answer this question.

Plastic Predictability Pearls: Improving the Predictability of Clear Aligners I like predictability because I know what I’m getting into. – Actress, Katherine Heigl As the limitations of clear aligner treatments have been identified, conceptualizing techniques and devices to improve the predictability in producing desired results has been the next logical step. A variety of concepts, methods, and adjuncts have subsequently been introduced to enhance the efficacy and effectiveness of clear aligners. As a consequence, the scope of biomechanics and type of malocclusions that can be more predictably treated has increased. As one example, the inclusion of miniscrew temporary skeletal anchorage has permitted the addition of direct and indirect anchorage to support and control more predictable programmed tooth movements with aligners. In addition, specific instruments have also been developed to facilitate the individualization of aligners to apply specific forces.*

Due to the genetic nature of the vertical growth, however, it has been recognized as very challenging to correct the hyperdivergent face. A latest meta-analysis revealed the lack of clinical evidence in the vertical control using conventional appliances including high pull head gear. In contrast, our recent clinical & experimental studies revealed the possibility of total arch movement according to the force direction with regard to the estimated center of resistance of entire dental arch. Therefore, replacement of orthopedics using reliable total arch intrusion using miniscrews is inspiring. In this session, the biomechanics, clinical effects and stability of vertical control using total arch intrusion will be explained in the aspects of etiology, protocols and stability in Class II, III and asymmetry cases. Additionally, the rationale and possibilities of radical root movement of lower incisors leading to ‘symphyseal remodeling’ in children with hyperdivergent face will be demonstrated

Worked as General Dentist in Jordan from 2016 until 2019. Worked as General Dentist in Sydney from 2019 until 2020. Started postgraduate course in Orthodontics at the University of Melbourne, 2020 The Ortgho Postgrad Experience: foxes, bugs and the MORG Introduction: To understand health and disease states fully, it is essential to change our evaluation of disease from only a clinically focused assessment to one which incorporates the study of disease-associated microbiota. Examination of the microbial content of plaque can help provide a more comprehensive answer to whether clear aligners pose a reduced risk to WSL and periodontal disease when compared to fixed orthodontic appliances. Aim: To determine and compare the oral microbiota changes and clinical dental health outcomes of patients being treated with full fixed appliances (FFA) and clear aligner therapy CAT). Method: A total of 113 patients were enrolled, 65 with FFA, 48 with CAT. Clinical data and plaque samples were collected from an upper lateral incisor and an upper second premolar before the start of treatment (T0) and 6 months after commencement of treatment (T1). The clinical measures assessed were gingival index, plaque index, and ICDAS II. The oral microbiota composition was detected using 16S rRNA gene sequencing Ion Torrent Personal Genome machine; a next generation DNA extraction technology. Preliminary and expected results: At T1, patients in both the CAT and FA groups are expected to have increases in periodonto-pathogenic bacteria and decreases in health-related bacteria based on the 2018 pilot study. The current data so far show that there has been a decline in oral hygiene and gingival health in both groups. However, patients in the CAT group have better health outcomes compared to the FA group.
