Her work focuses on the diagnosis and management of complex orthodontic malocclusions, dental discrepancies, and craniofacial deformities that require combined orthodontic and orthognathic surgical treatment.
She earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) in 2007 and a Master’s degree in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Aesthetics in 2011, both from Al-Baath University, Syria. She is a licensed Specialist Orthodontist with the Dubai Health Authority (DHA) and the Department of Health – Abu Dhabi (DoH).
