Dr Bal has a unique and modern eye for detail, combining the management of facial proportions and teeth and relating the structures of the face to the smile aesthetics. Her specialist areas include:
Dr Bal believes orthodontic treatment is crucial to healthy dental development. She is passionate about contemporary approaches to early management of paediatric (children’s) malocclusion and interceptive treatment for children aged 7-10.
She uses comfortable, affordable clear aligners to allow children and teenagers to gain confidence in their smiles without brackets and wires.

In her spare time, she enjoys travelling, horse riding and reading.
