This year marked the seventh annual McIntosh Dental Orthodontic Scholarship.
Our specialist team spent lots of time carefully reviewing each and every applicant. Each year we receive more applicants than the last – after reviewing hundreds of applicants, the top 8 finalists came for a comprehensive orthodontic consultation and to share their story in more detail.
After meeting these amazing young people, the two winners of the 2024 Orthodontic Scholarshop are Marius Leituala, a Year 11 student from Liston College and Nitish Gupta, a Year 13 from Henderson High School!
