Lanit Anand is a specialist orthodontist. Lanit grew up in the East Auckland area attending local schools, before undertaking a Bachelor of Dental Surgery at the University of Otago.
Following a year of work at Wellington Hospital, he completed a Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery at the University of Auckland.
Following this, Lanit rotated through various medical and surgical specialties across the Auckland hospitals, before working as an oral and maxillofacial surgery registrar both in Middlemore, and at Westmead hospital in Sydney.
With dual degrees in dentistry and medicine, Lanit believes in delivering evidence-based care and has published several research papers which he has presented at conferences nationally and internationally. Lanit has a special interest in complex cases requiring surgery as well as cleft lip and palate care.
Lanit was accepted onto the orthodontic programme at the University of Queensland, where he undertook three years of specialist training. He remains on staff, holding an honorary lecturer position in Brisbane where he continues to be involved in both undergraduate and postgraduate teaching.
Outside of work Lanit is married with two young children, stays fit with running and hiking, and enjoys watching sport and spending time with his family.
Lanit has returned home to Auckland and joins Craig Sharp at both his Ormiston and Newmarket locations.
Craig Sharp Orthodontic started in 1987 when Craig purchased an existing and well-established Specialist Orthodontic Practice from Dr John Peat, in Remuera. The practice is still at the same address, all these years later, albeit at the other end of the building. Craig then opened a new practice in 2009 in the Ormiston Hospital building in Flatbush.
Craig has been at the forefront of the inclusion of digital equipment/techniques in New Zealand for their practical use in orthodontic treatment for many years and was the first practice in Australasia to incorporate digital models into a patient’s treatment workflow. There has been a steady stream of digital equipment/techniques ever since.
Craig is very much looking forward to Lanit’s arrival into both practices to help with the ever-growing patient numbers. Most importantly, Lanit’s background in oral surgery and medicine is going to be of significant benefit to his future orthodontic patients.
