Based at Deane, near Bolton, our pratice specialises in Orthodontic treatment. Dr. Olsberg is the principal orthodontist. He employs clinical assistants who have a special interest and further training in orthodontics. Depending which days you attend for your appointment you will see the orthodontist in attendance that day. You will therefore see different practitioners at different appointments. However, Dr Olsberg does all the treatment planning and he also sees you at different crucial stages of your treatment to ensure the smooth running of your treatment. The clinical assistants are working to his prescription.
Principal Clinician
Dr Harry Olsberg

GDC registration number - 47176

1973- Graduated from Kings College Hospital, University of London.
1975- 1983- Clinical Assistant in Orthodontics in Bolton, Bury and Wigan hospitals.

My fascination has always been the link between faces and braces and the ability of orthodontic treatment to improve, or in incorrectly treated cases to worsen the facial profile post- treatment. I enjoyed the speciality of orthodontics but instinctively felt that the forces I was putting on the teeth was too great and that too often extraction of healthy teeth was needed to create room to straighten the teeth.

2001- I attended a course given by an American orthodontist Dr. Dwight Damon on his new System using his Damon brackets. This System ensured that light forces could be used meaning a more comfortable treatment experience for my patients with far fewer extractions needed and a more aesthetic facial appearance at the end of treatment.

I was one of the first orthodontic practitioners in the UK to use the  Damon brackets.

Dr Daniel Winston

GDC registration number - 77610

"I qualified at the University of Glasgow in 2000.I have worked at this orthodontic practice for over 5 years and take great job satisfaction from the "drill free" smile make overs that we give our patients.I have a special interest in orthodontics and am currently in my final year of a Masters degree in the subject. I work in Bolton two days per week with the rest of my time being spent at my practice in Mossley. I think the Damon braces we use in the practice bring orthodontics into the 21st century and ensure that our patients finish with beautiful smiles in the shortest possible time."
