About the Centre

Meet Dr. Faizel Mansoor & Dr. Mariam Alli

Dr Faizel Mansoor founded FresherBreath and still practises in it. He is a dentist first. The clinics grew out of one question he kept returning to. Why does dentistry treat teeth as though they are separate from the rest of the body?

He qualified with a Bachelor of Dental Science from the University of the Witwatersrand in 2003.

His clinical interest is how breathing, facial growth and jaw function affect each other. He is listed with the South African Airway and Myofunctional Society.

Dr Mansoor was central to establishing Myobrace in Southern Africa, and FresherBreath runs a dedicated Myobrace programme in Johannesburg. He lectures to other dentists on the system, on myofunctional rehabilitation, and on how practices can work across disciplines instead of in isolation.

He is a director of the TMJ and Sleep Therapy Centre of South Africa. It belongs to an international network of centres treating craniofacial pain and sleep-disordered breathing.

  • Vice-Chairman of the South African Dental Association, and a director on its board
  • Founding President of the Young Dentists' Council of South Africa, 2013 to 2015

He has served on the SADA Dental Practice Committee since 2013, including negotiating funding with medical aids on behalf of the profession.
