Class 1 Ortho

Dr Chris Orloff

Dr Orloff is passionate about Class 1 Orthodontics and leaves no stone unturned to emphasise how it is no ordinary practice, and how it is dedicated to providing exceptional orthodontic care in a modern and relaxed environment. Dr Orloff's take on what makes Class 1 different:

• We are specialists in orthodontics
• We are try and promote a fun, relaxed atmosphere
• with our patients and family, but still do our job with the utmost professionalism and care
• We have a lab on site, so can deliver appliances / care quicker
• We are the only orthodontists in Australia to have a cafe in our practice (Rockingham) for our patients and their family

Dr Orloff was born and educated in the UK, receiving his dental education at Kings College School of Medicine and Dentistry. He was awarded the Prize in Orthodontics as well as prizes from the Medical Protection Society and Wisdom Dental.

Dr Orloff went on to work as a dentist in the south of England, until he married and moved immediately to Australia.

In 2002, Dr Orloff established the practice in Rockingham. At the time the Southern Coastal suburbs had a limited, part time Orthodontic service, and the development of a contemporary, multi-chair orthodontic Clinic was designed to bring the 21st century to a rapidly growing and increasingly sophisticated population.

Meanwhile, Dr Orloff tries to find time to spend with his family, which is wife Sarah and two children. When he can, he loves to go boating or fishing, or enjoying weekends with friends over a good meal with a glass of wine, or exploring the best state in the nation, in his 4 WD.

Dr Nida Khan

Dr Nida grew up in Queensland and attended school in Brisbane. Following this, she completed her dentistry degree at The University of Queensland, achieving Class I honours. She practiced dentistry in both Queensland Health and private practice, during this time she was heavily involved with working with children through the school dental service.

Exposure to orthodontics, as a child and as a dentist, allowed Dr Nida to realise her passion. She undertook a Doctorate of Clinical Dentistry in Orthodontics from The University of Adelaide. Upon entry into this program, Dr Nida was awarded the Australian Postgraduate Award, a scholarship to recognise academic excellence. Dr Nida is committed to providing her patients with optimal care and this reflected in her clinical work. She has been recognised with awards for the Australian Society of Orthodontists (SA) prize for best clinically treated case by a postgraduate orthodontist and the Raj Prasad award for best clinical case in 2014 (SA).

Following graduation, Dr Nida has had the opportunity to practice in both public and private practice, here in WA and interstate. She currently also holds an appointment at the Oral Health Centre of WA.
