Dr. Paul Barnard

Dr. Paul Barnard is an orthodontist with 12 years of dental experience, specializing in straightening teeth and correcting bite problems for both children and adults. He practices at Mediclinic Abu Dhabi and is skilled in a range of contemporary orthodontic techniques, including self-ligating brackets (friction-free systems), mini implants for tooth movement support, and invisible clear aligners.

Dr. Barnard treats a wide variety of bite problems—from straightforward cases requiring standard braces to complex situations where teeth straightening must be combined with jaw surgery. He works with ceramic and metal braces, clear aligners, and both fixed and removable retainers to hold results long-term. For young patients, he also offers early interceptive treatment to guide jaw growth and prevent more serious problems later, and he helps correct habits like thumb-sucking that can affect tooth position.
