About Dr Angus Pringle

Dr Angus Pringle is a UK-registered Specialist Orthodontist based in Fareham, Hampshire, listed on the General Dental Council (GDC) Specialist Register for Orthodontics GDC No. 79324. He has completed five years of postgraduate orthodontic training, including consultant-level hospital training. His clinical practice is limited exclusively to orthodontics, allowing him to focus entirely on tooth movement, bite correction and long-term stability.

He has personally treated over 500 Invisalign cases and many thousands of fixed brace cases, alongside a wide range of specialist orthodontic treatments including Damon braces, Spark Aligners and growth-guided orthodontics for younger patients.

Patients often choose Angus for his calm, thoughtful approach. He takes time to listen, explains treatment options clearly, and plans each case carefully — with the aim of achieving results that look natural, function well and remain stable long-term.

Why Choose a Specialist Orthodontist?

In the UK, only clinicians who have completed an additional three years of full-time postgraduate hospital training and passed Royal College examinations can register as Specialist Orthodontists.

This advanced training focuses on complex diagnosis, facial growth, bite development and long-term stability. Being listed on the GDC Specialist Register confirms recognised expertise in orthodontic treatment planning and delivery.
