#107 - The Ortho-Dentist - Josh Rowley

Here’s something you don’t find every day - a specialist orthodontist who’s still carrying out day-to-day cosmetic and restorative work. This week’s guest, Josh Rowley, explains how and why the two go together hand-in-hand and tells how a once-in-lifetime alignment of the stars saw him take an unorthodox route to early specialist status. Josh also lifts the lid on why he loves being an educator and lets us in on not one but two clinical errors that changed the way he does dentistry.   “Teeth are stupid. If you push on them hard enough and long enough, they will move. They don't know if they're being moved by a bit of plastic or a bit of wire.” Josh Rowley In This Episode 01.00 - Backstory and parental influences19.15 - Into dentistry and orthodontics26.09 - Specialisms and marketing31.49 - Josh’s practices34.46 - Being an ortho-dentist43.52 - Teaching and lecturing54.49 - Blackbox thinking part one59.11 - The patient journey01.08.45 - Blackbox thinking part two01.12.01 - Direct-to-consumer orthodontics01.18.11 - Turkey teeth01.24.49 - Last days and legacy About Josh Rowley Josh Rowley graduated from The University of Dundee in 2014.  He was nominated for the Best Young Dentist award at Dentistry Scotland Awards in 2017 and 2018.
