Meet the Team
Meet the team that work together to achieve the best smile for you!
Your treatment is delivered by Dr Daniel De Angelis and this awesome bunch!Â
Dr De Angelis personally designs your orthodontic treatment plan – how, when and where your teeth will move. Moving teeth and correcting bites is not a simple process and should be done by someone with the right specialist expertise and experience. Dr De Angelis is also responsible for delivering and overseeing your treatment – this is done together with our team of qualified and specialised clinicians. Our hygienists are pivotal to the practice and work closely with Dr De Angelis to deliver professional and gentle care for all TOC patients.
You will get to know the entire team over the course of your treatment. They can’t wait to put a smile on your face!
Dr Daniel De Angelis
Specialist Orthodontist
I am a Specialist Orthodontist with over 20 years’ experience in dentistry and orthodontics.
I love what I do! I first studied to become a dentist then I did an additional three years of study at the University of Adelaide to specialise in straightening teeth and correcting bites. With qualifications recognised both nationally and internationally, I have treated over 10,000 patients. This is a real honour and privilege to me.
As a father of two young boys, I am particularly passionate about treating and improving the lives of children. I’m really passionate about transforming the smiles and the lives of all my patients – adults, teens and children.
I am also partial to a gin and love to run to keep fit.
Radhika
Treatment Coordinator
My love for dental began 6 years ago when I started out as a trainee dental nurse. I knew from my very first day that this was my passion!Â
Over the years, I’ve been blessed with many opportunities to expand my knowledge in a field I am so passionate about. In further efforts to broaden my knowledge, I chose to begin a new chapter in orthodontics with the team at TOC.Â
I pride myself in being able to provide patients of all ages with the best possible experience. This is to ensure that they feel relaxed and informed during their appointment. I see it as a privilege to assist anyone in achieving their orthodontic goals. The most rewarding thing for me is our patients leaving with a smile they love!
In my spare time I love curling up with a good book and a warm cup of tea. I also have two beautiful cats that like to curl up with me.
Sirena
Practice Manager
I began my dental career over 20 years ago, initially as a dental assistant, which has provided me with a wealth of dental knowledge.
Over the years I have actively seeked to improve my skills and knowledge base with further education and countless short courses. This gives me the flexibility to do a vast number of duties and different roles in the dental field.
I’m passionate about providing patients with the best possible service. I understands that patients can sometimes be frightened or stressed. I pride myself on making sure the whole experience is as comfortable and relaxed as possible for them and their loved ones.
When I’m not working I enjoy spending quality time with my husband and five children.

I pride myself in making patients feel comfortable and relaxed in their orthodontic appointments by being kind and gentle. I have had orthodontic treatment as a child and an adult so I can relate to the patients undergoing treatment at TOC.
