Larry has made oral presentations at the prestigious European Orthodontic Congress and has published five scientific articles, including three clinical case reports in international dental and orthodontic journals.

In 2018, he was inducted as a Fellow into the prestigious Pierre Fauchard Academy. This accomplishment is awarded to nominees who are truly outstanding and epitomize excellence in the dental community.
Larry has been in the field of dentistry for more than 20 years and orthodontics for over 12 years. He worked in some well-known orthodontic practices in Melbourne and Adelaide before establishing Modern Orthodontics with his wife Kyoko.
Larry is a caring and friendly Specialist Orthodontist. He enjoys the profession he has chosen and wishes to create beautiful and happy smiles for all his patients.
