0:00 1:07:34

Afsar Hussain is the first to admit that his grades weren’t the best when growing up in Doncaster, South Yorkshire.

But a tough talk from mum and dad appears to have paid off — Afsar purchased his first practice just eight months into his VT year and has since grown the practice into one of South Yorkshire’s most successful.

He chats about turning the practice around with a shift from NHS to private practice and reveals what it takes to become one of Europe’s few Invisalign Apex providers

Enjoy!
