With over 24 years of experience as a senior orthodontist, I have made significant contributions to the field of Indian dentistry—particularly in the areas of clinical excellence, education, and professional leadership.
Specialisation and Clinical Expertise
I specialize in child ,teen and pediatric orthodontics, offering preventive and interceptive treatments for developing jaw and dental issues in children. My expertise extends to fixed orthodontic techniques and treatments for both children and adults, including the use of self-ligating, ceramic, and metal braces along with temporary anchorage devices such as bone screws to aid in correction of skeletal alignments.
I also have extensive experience in managing complex orthodontic cases, such as cleft lip and palate, and adults with skeletal malocclusions.
Pioneering Work with Invisalign
In 2012, I became one of the first orthodontists in India to receive Invisalign certification in Dubai. Since then, I have developed over 13 years of specialized experience with aligners and am recognized as a leading expert in this field.
Since 2017, I have served as a distinguished National Faculty Member and Key Opinion Leader for Invisalign India. I have trained and mentored over 800 orthodontists across the country—including in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kochi, Bangalore, Mangalore, Lucknow, Kolkata, Indore, Jaipur, Ahmedabad, and several other cities.
Invisalign has entrusted me with leading advanced study groups, certification programs, and national masterclasses for Invisalign-certified professionals.
A milestone in my academic journey was conducting the first-ever Invisalign Certification Program for faculty and students of the Department of Orthodontics at Maulana Azad Institute of Dental Sciences, New Delhi.
Speaking Engagements and Professional Contributions
I have had the privilege of serving as a keynote speaker at all four Align India Forums held in Jaipur, Kochi, Goa, and Chennai. Over the past 20 years, I have also been a regular invited speaker at the annual conferences and post graduate conventions of the Indian Orthodontic Society (IOS).
In addition, I serve as a faculty member at the IOS Annual Invisible Orthodontic Symposium, which brings together leading experts in aligner therapy from across the country.
My speaking engagements at National orthodontic conferences include:
Jaipur (2017)
Kochi (2018)
Bhubaneswar (2019)
Pune (2022)
Bangalore (2024)
I also conducted a pre-conference workshop on Clear Aligners (Invisalign) at the 1st National Invisible Orthodontic Symposium held in Jaipur in 2022.
More recently, I was invited to speak at the 3rd National Invisible Orthodontic Symposium in Chennai (2024), and at the Indian Society of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry conference held in Ahmedabad (2023).
Leadership and Service
Beyond my clinical and academic contributions, I proudly served as an Executive Committee Member of the Indian Orthodontic Society for three consecutive years. This role allowed me to further contribute to the advancement and governance of orthodontics in India.
