Dr Peter D Hoang is a male Specialist Orthodontist.
Dr Hoang is a passionate Specialist Orthodontist, with two favourite aspects of his job. The first being the transformational quality that orthodontic treatment can have and seeing people’s reactions when they see the results of the process.
Creating a beautiful smile for someone usually means they use it more! His other favourite aspect is helping treat obstructive sleep apnoea with orthodontic treatment. The effect disrupted sleep can have on someone’s health and wellbeing can be drastic. Dr Hoang particularly loves being able to help repair the situation in a local multidisciplinary team, collaborating with ENTs, dentists, sleep physicians and sleep psychologists.
Dr Peter was born and raised in Sydney, where he attended Fort Street High School. After completing high school, he travelled to Adelaide to complete his degree in Dentistry. Peter returned to Sydney to work in private practice and to tutor oral surgery students at the University of Sydney.
A pivotal figure in Dr Hoang’s career was Smile Team’s Dr Joe Geenty, who taught him his Long Orthodontic Course at the University of Sydney. It was Dr Geenty that encouraged him to become an orthodontist. Dr Hoang then went on to become a fellow of the Royal Australian College of Dental Surgeons by examination, completed a Masters in Philosophy and a research degree on orthodontic miniscrews. Peter then went on to complete his specialist’s degree: Doctor of Clinical Dentistry in Orthodontics at the University of Sydney. Dr Hoang has again returned to teaching at the University, this time teaching the next generation of Orthodontists at the University of Sydney.
