Dr Sara Belo

Dr Sara Belo graduated from the University of Porto with a Master's degree in Dentistry in 2016. She has a passion for rebuilding patients' smiles with minimally invasive techniques using teeth straightening, to improve the appearance of the smile, yet by preserving as much natural tooth as possible. Dr Sara works exclusively in the field of Orthodontics; which is the area of dentistry that deals with diagnosing, preventing, and correcting mal-positioned teeth and jaws, and misaligned bite patterns. She has completed a Diploma in Intensive Advances Biomechanics in Clear Aligner Technique, a Diploma in Treating Growing Patients with Clear Aligners, a Post-graduate diploma and a Master's in Clear Aligner Orthodontics and Facial Orthopaedics. Dr Sara has focused her practice on mastering the biomechanics of the Clear Aligner Technique allowing her to have the knowledge and expertise to treat a vast range of complex cases with clear aligners so that her patients can enjoy a more comfortable and descrete treatment journey. Dr Sara has been awarded "Best Orthodontic Treatment with Clear Aligners" in September 2023. She provides clear aligner treatment to patients of all ages - children, teens, and adults, not only to improve the aesthetic of the smile but she also reinforces the importance of achieving a functional bite and chewing pattern. Dr Belo is a strong believer of intervention at an early age when needed. Teeth can have a big impact on the growth of a child. By introducing teeth straightening techniques this can help reduce the risk of crowding and bite issues, the risk of trauma to the teeth and the need for long and complex orthodontic treatment later down the line. She is known to be very gentle and caring even among patients with a fear of dentists.
