Specialist Orthodontist
Over 30 years’ experience treating complex orthodontic cases in children, teenagers and adults.
Dr Janusz Banasik brings more than 30 years of clinical experience and the expertise to treat the most complex orthodontic cases, using advanced techniques tailored to each patient’s individual needs.
He was awarded an M.Sc. in Orthodontics (with Merit) by the University of Warwick and holds a second postgraduate M.Sc. in Clinical Periodontology from the University of Central Lancashire. This combination allows him to treat a broad range of patients — children, teenagers and adults, including patients with reduced periodontal support (stable gum disease). Where needed, he prepares patients with active gum disease for orthodontic treatment.
Dr Janusz is certified in the Invisalign system, Incognito lingual braces and Insignia Advanced Smile Design.

A graduate of the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, Dr Paulauskas also lectures there, passing on his core values to the next generation of dentists: the patient’s health comes first, and good care is built on lasting, two-way collaboration.
