Dr Chris Farrell
BDS
El Dr. Chris Farrell se graduó de la Universidad de Sydney en 1971 después de haber adquirido un conocimiento integral de la ortodoncia tradicional utilizando la técnica BEGG. A través de la experiencia clínica, el Dr. Farrell se interesó por el trastorno de la ATM / TTM y, tras otras investigaciones, descubrió que la etiología de la maloclusión y trastorno de la ATM era miofuncional, lo que contradijo los puntos de vista establecidos de su profesión. El Dr. Farrell fundó Myofunctional Research Co. (MRC) en 1989 para desarrollar aparatos miofuncionales que resultarían eficaces en los tratamientos de ortodoncia temprana. Sus sistemas de aparatos Trainer y Myobrace® ahora son utilizados por ortodoncistas y dentistas en más de 100 países de todo el mundo.

From 2000-2002 Dr Roberts studied part-time in Washington DC and achieved a second medical degree in integrative medicine.
His new integrative dental and health practice opened in 2003 for collaboration between dentist and other complementary health practitioners. It was a UK leading model for dental care being part of a health care team.
Dr Roberts moved back to a more holistic dental clinic in 2017 and now works independently in several dental practices throughout England and Scotland in conjunction with complementary health practitioners delivering dentistry for health and healing.
