Dr. Michael Tselepis BDSc, MDSc, FRACDS

You may be wondering what all those initials mean! To become an orthodontist you must first qualify as a dentist. This involves a 5 year full time university degree (BDSc). After 2-4 years of general dental practice one then applies to do a specialist orthodontic degree (MDSc). This is a 3 year full time university course. After graduation and 2-3 years of supervised training under a senior orthodontist you can finally register as a specialist orthodontist!

Dr. Tselepis is a fellow of the Royal Australasian College Of Dental Surgeons (FRACDS) which requires entry by study and examination.

Dr. Tselepis is married to Julianne and they have a two wonderful sons Jonathon and Conor.

As well as running a busy private practice, Dr Tselepis is a member of the Queensland Orthodontic Study Group, the Australian Dental Association, and the Australian Orthodontic Society. Dr Tselepis is a past President of the Apollonian Dental Society and a past consultant to the Royal Children's Hospital.
