GUEST SPEAKERS

Dr. John Flutter (BDS London Dental Surgeon)
Dr Flutter was born in England and qualified as a dentist at Kings College Hospital Dental School at the University of London in December 1971. He has been in general dental practice for thirty nine years with emphasis on orthodontics. His work is now exclusively dentofacial orthopedic and orthodontic treatment for adults and children. Dr Flutter opened his "Orthodontic Early Treatment Centre" in February 2007 focusing on treating growing children. In October 2009 he changed his clinic to MRC Clinic Brisbane.

Dr Flutter obtained Board Eligible tier status with the International Association of Orthodontics in Hawaii 1986. He is also a Certified Breathing Practitioner, Buteyko Breathing Practitioner and Queensland state president of Australian Association of Orofacial Orthopaedics.

Dr Flutter has lectured on "Myofunctional Influences on Facial Growth and The Dentition" in sixty six countries over the last twelve years and has published several articles in journals throughout the world.

Patrick McKeown is a graduate of Trinity College Dublin and the Buteyko Breathing Clinic of Russia. Patrick was a chronic asthmatic for most of his life. By correcting his breathing volume, he eliminated his asthma attacks and freed himself from his asthma condition. He is one of a few Western experts and the only practitioner in Ireland who is directly authorised and accredited by the Late Professor Buteyko to teach this method. Patrick's training in Russia has been complemented by his own research, in consulting with asthma specialists from different parts of the world, and through his experience of working with asthma, bronchitis, rhinitis/hay fever, and emphysema patients from all parts of Ireland, UK, Denmark, Holland and the USA. Asthma Care clinics are now available in eight countries worldwide.
