Dr John Mamutil

Dr John Mamutil graduated from Sydney University in Dentistry and Orthodontics in the 80s.
 
The 80s - apart from generating some of the best music, also saw the advent of personal computing.  So John at the time developed his own cephalometric software as part of his Masters thesis.  
 
Together with a practice that has predominantly been non-extraction since the 90s and his love for technology - Invisalign became the best fit for the evolution and growth of his office in Castle Hill.
 
Today, he is an accredited presenter for Invisalign and has been on the Align Advisory Board since 2017.
 
John's practice is now 85% Invisalign and is a progression of his love for art - photography & music - and technology.
