Her role in the practice has evolved and changed over the years and together with her husband Estan have jointly designed the clearbrace.me® removable brace system.This has been quite an exciting time as it has allowed them to help patients achieve life changing results.They share the same philosophy of a holistic approach to treatment and both are equally passionate in their belief that prevention is better than cure.Sharon is an avid reader and could easily spend hours and hours in a book shop, much to the delight of Estan who is quite happy that she dislikes clothes shopping!  She is passionate about swimming and daily swims 70-80 lengths. She accompanied Estan abroad to the voluntary dental clinic and found that the experience was life changing. It is definitely worth going back next year.
