Dr Tony Weir


Married to Sharon, with 3 grown-up children. Sharon and I have run more than 30 ultramarathons together. I have a BDSc (Hons) Queensland 1983 and MDS Ortho Adelaide 1991, and have been in private orthodontic practice in Brisbane since 1991, as well as appointed Senior Dental Specialist to West Moreton Oral Health Services (2019-present).

I have collected a large database of cases (16,000 plus) from 17 experienced orthodontists in Australia, New Zealand and the United States to enable independent research into the efficacy of aligners, which is my primary research interest. I was 2021 Milton Sims Visiting Professor, University of Adelaide, and in 2022 I was awarded the P Raymond Begg Research Award, Australian Society of Orthodontists.

I have been involved in the publication of 20 scientific articles and textbook chapters since 2016 as well as some 20 ongoing research projects
