Trusted by thousands of Australian children, teens, adults and pensioners to achieve their perfect smile via braces and Invisalign, Dr Kamal Ahmed and the South Coast Orthodontics team are proud to establish their new practice at Corrimal, New South Wales, serving families all across the Illawarra.

After completing five years of study at the University of Sydney, Dr Kamal graduated with a degree in dentistry. He then pursued a further three years amounting to 5,000 hours of additional study, graduating and mastering the specialisation of orthodontics, again at the University of Sydney.

Adding to his academic and professional accomplishments, Dr Kamal is a member of the prestigious Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons, Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons in Orthodontics, European Orthodontic Society, and Royal College of Surgeons Edinburgh in Orthodontics at the United Kingdom.

In addition to his vast experience with traditional braces, Dr Kamal is one of Australia’s rare Platinum Elite Invisalign Providers, gaining recognition for his world-class excellence and experience in optimal patient service and results.

South Coast Orthodontics is located at Corrimal, but regularly serves patients from the Illawarra including Wollongong, Shellharbour, Kiama, Otford, Windang, Maddens Plain, and Cordeaux. Throughout Dr Kamal Ahmed’s decades of experience in dentistry and orthodontics, thousands of customers also regularly drive in from outside of the Illawarra including Sydney, to ensure that their braces and Invisalign treatments are directly led under the experience, care, work and supervision of Dr Kamal.

Dr Anel Blignaut | Specialist Orthodontist

Dr. Anél Blignaut brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to our practice in the Illawarra. Born and raised in South Africa, Anél graduated with her dental degree from the University of Stellenbosch in 2001. After gaining experience in Cape Town and the Netherlands, she took a sabbatical year to travel the globe before settling in Australia in 2007. It was in Cairns, while working for Queensland Health, that she rediscovered her passion for orthodontics and decided to pursue her specialty.

Completing her specialist training at the University of Sydney in 2014, Dr. Blignaut earned her membership to the Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons and certification from the Australian Orthodontic Board. In 2015, she acquired an orthodontic practice in Manly, where she quickly became an integral part of the local community and the orthodontic society.

Dr. Blignaut is not only a dedicated orthodontist, but is also a leader within the profession. She has served as the treasurer for the Sydney Orthodontic Alumni for six years and is currently the president of the Australian Society of Orthodontists. Additionally, she is the Vice President of the Manly Warringah Dental Study Group and actively participates on the Community Information Committee, overseeing the Orthodontics Australia website and social media.

Her commitment to continuous learning is evident; Dr. Blignaut regularly attends conferences, lectures at local study groups, and serves as an Honorary Clinical Educator at the University of Sydney’s Orthodontic Department.

Sleep Apnoea Solutions

A Better Life Starts with Better Sleep

One in ten Australians suffer sleep apnoea, a sleep disorder that causes pauses in breathing or short and shallow breaths during sleep. Both adults and children can suffer sleep apnoea, which is why South Coast Orthodontics is dedicated to examining, diagnosing and solving this critical medical condition.

Beyond breathing difficulties caused by the constant obstruction of the airway, sleep apnoea causes snoring, waking up at night choking or gasping, as well as lethargy and tiredness in the morning. Sleep apnoea can impact how you or your children function throughout the day as it affects your energy, mood and concentration.
