I am Dr Rafał Brandt, a dentist specialized in orthodontics. I became interested in orthodontics right after completing my studies. I obtained my diploma from the Warsaw Medical University in 2004. From 2007 to 2009, I began my specialization in orthodontics at the Institute of Mother and Child in the Cleft Clinic, where we focused on treating children with congenital deformities, including clefts.Starting from 2009, I continued my specialization at the Orthodontics Department of the Warsaw Medical University. In 2012, I passed the specialization exam with the second-highest result in Poland. For the past 13 years, I have been exclusively dedicated to orthodontic treatment. Currently, I work in two renowned dental clinics in Warsaw, where I have the pleasure of collaborating with numerous specialists from various dental fields. Together, we treat very challenging cases by developing comprehensive, interdisciplinary treatment plans. In my practice, I often utilize various forms of skeletal anchorage. I primarily use palatal microimplants within the Benefit system, having placed the highest number in Poland. I have also designed my own modifications to this system to reduce its side effects.Around 4 years ago, I developed a method for digitally designing and printing templates for microimplants. The use of templates for screw placement significantly increased the precision and safety of the treatment.
