After several years practising in regional WA, he returned to Perth to pursue postgraduate study in orthodontics and took up a teaching appointment in the Department of Restorative Dentistry at UWA. He entered private practice in 1996 and has been based in the Hampden Road precinct in Nedlands ever since.

A special interest in sleep & jaw

Where sleep, jaw function and dental health meet

Over his career, Dr Lego developed a particular interest in the relationship between sleep, jaw function and dental health. Today this specialist knowledge shapes everything he does — a holistic approach with particular emphasis on how sleep bruxism, snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea can affect dental health and overall wellbeing.

He works in close collaboration with:

Sleep physicians ENT specialists Physiotherapists Radiologists Oral surgeons

His approach, in his own words
