Many of the team have worked at the practice since its inception which says volumes for the principals and environment that the practice promotes.
Mr T.I. Davies
Principal
BDS, FDS (Orth) RCS, M.Den.Sci, M.Orth.RCS
After qualifying in 1984 from Dundee Ian gained hospital experience in all aspects of dentistry before starting his orthodontic speciality training in 1988. Ian trained in Birmingham to gain the M.Orth RCS qualification and then went onto further hospital specialist training at the Eastman and Guildford Hospitals. Ian moved to Suffolk with his wife, Karen, and four children in 1996 to take over the Orthodontic Department at Ipswich Hospital as the Consultant. It became apparent that there was not sufficient provision of orthodontic specialist treatment and Ian founded the Suffolk Orthodontic Practice in 2000. Since then the practice has gone from strength to strength based on high quality results in both NHS and private sectors.
Outside of work at the hospital and practice Ian has little time as his main occupation seems to be driving his children to and from rugby, cricket, dance and triathlon events!

I would like to say thank you to Ros for everything that she’s done over the last 18 months and I am very grateful.
I may have been one of the longest servicing patient having started in 2012 but throughout my time there the staff, facilities and atmosphere was always 10/10.
I’d like to thank everyone for the patience given – I know I was a special case and requiring more than normal – but the team was great.
Thank you so much for your kindness and care during my journey of a perfect smile. I am more than delighted with the result.
Extremely happy with my result and how helpful Suffolk Orthodontics were throughout the whole experience.
Thank you to everyone, Lucy is the happiest, most enthusiastic person I have met. Their reception staff were friendly and helpful and go above and beyond to help. It’s been a fab experience.
