Very blunt, which is not the best approach to children. Scared my child and not in a good way to ensure her treatment was effective

Absolutely amazing experience, I can't thank Dr Shaneel enough.

Just over 18 months ago I promised myself to fix my teeth before I was 30, I was extremely self conscious of them and had mastered covering them up when I speak. I was 27 (28 now) and had an international move on the horizon. My partner and I were going to move our life to the UK (her home) once her visa finished in June 2020.

It was November 2018, so time was of the essence (if I wanted to stick to my promise of straight teeth @ 30). I compiled a list of orthodontists in my area and sent them photos of my teeth, with x-rays and info regarding my travel plans in 2020. Only one orthodontist got back to me.

Dr Shaneel was impeccable and went above and beyond from the get go, he saw me and my position, contacted me directly and literally moved things around to see me the next day! He had a look at my teeth and said he believed he could straighten them in time, he is definitely a man of efficiency! He made me feel very confident and after that one consultation we had all the paperwork sorted and we got my braces on before Christmas!

Dr Shaneel was always there, very fast at responding to emails and always happy to answer questions. As time went on my travel plans advanced to May, Dr Shaneel was happy to work with that and my teeth were coming along amazing.

As we approached May, the pandemic hit, through this time I was personally going through the nightmare of having an approved visa but everything in lockdown and all my flights cancelled. On top of that my original date to get my braces off had to be cancelled due to dental restrictions. Through this time I never doubted Dr Shaneel, he was completely transparent with me and we communicated constantly. It was not an easy position to be in for either of us but the way Dr Shaneel and all the staff at The Look navigated my situation was nothing short of incredible and professional.

After lots of communication with juggling the pandemic, my braces and my flights we managed to secure a time to get them off, before my partners visa expired and 3 days before my departure.

Not only did The Look and Dr Shaneel make me a more confident person and helped me achieve a personal goal, but they did this through extreme circumstances and never dropped the ball once. I would recommend The Look Orthodontics to anyone looking for braces, I seriously could not flaw them.

I am now living my new life in the UK, getting used to showing my teeth, but a much happier confident person.
Thank you so much!

I got my braces on here last week by Dr. Shaneel Shastri and was very pleased with the experience. I was quite nervous to get them, however Shaneel made the process comfortable, and the procedure was very quick. Would definitely recommend this practice.

I want to introduce my amazing Ortho Dr. Shaneel Shastri from @thelookortho, Shaneel has been fantastic with not only allowing me to film and take photos of the process, but taking the time in telling/showing me every step that he is doing along the way. I feel very privileged and lucky that I have him as my orthodontist, I highly suggest anyone who is going to The Look Orthodontics to ask for Shaneel (Tell him Kim from Instagram sent you)
