Meet our Specialist Orthodontists

Our Specialist Orthodontists, Dr Anne-Marie Smith and Dr Anjli Patel, have both been recognised with the prestigious Chapman Prize. We are the only orthodontic clinic in the country where both principal orthodontists have this recognition.

Having grown up in rural Lancashire, I relocated to London for university where I stayed for 15 years during my dental and orthodontic training. I moved to Derby in 2003 with my GP husband Kevin and daughter Emily, with Rebecca following soon after. I've loved watching my girls growing up in this beautiful county and we’ve made the most of Derbyshire's stunning countryside as a family.

Helping patients plan their journey and loving their delight as their smile improves throughout treatment.

I was born in Kenya before moving to London at the age of 12, and later to Derby with my husband in 2011. When not working, we’re the busy parents of two beautiful daughters. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, cooking and exploring the outdoors. If I hadn’t become an orthodontist, I would have loved to be an adventurer like Ben Fogle.

Seeing people blossom.

I rarely have time to watch films anymore but can recite all the words to Pretty Woman and Dirty Dancing. I am currently ploughing my way through "Grey's Anatomy"!
