Dr Erika Ruiz-Mealin

Orthodontist

I qualified as a dentist in Colombia in 1997 and after a few years in dental practice I moved to London where I gained a Fellowship in Dental Surgery from the Royal College of Surgeons of England (MJDF 2009).

I qualified with a MSc in Orthodontics from the Eastman Dental Hospital of University of London (2008) and Membership in Orthodontics from The Royal College of Surgeons of England (2009) and I am active member of the British Orthodontic Society and the European Orthodontic Society.

I have been working at the Covent Garden Dental Spa for over 2 years, and I have enjoyed every minute of it. I have done some very exciting and challenging cases, with great results every time. The patients are always very pleased with the results. Seeing great results after several months of treatment is the best bit about my job. For my patients, providing them with the beautiful smile they have always wanted can be life changing too!

I straighten teeth using several options from the routine braces, to invisible braces such Invisalign and Lingual Braces. Ingonito (Invisible braces) is the most popular treatment choice, as the braces are tucked away and hidden behind the teeth.

When I am not working as an Orthodontist I like travelling to new and exciting places.
