  • About

    As Pediatric Dentistry specialized in Jaw Functional Orthopedics, I have a very valuable base in physiology and anatomy of the stomatognathic system in children to prevent, diagnose and treat malocclusion and their functional imbalance as early is detected, impacting positively their quality of life. My experience in clinical practice has led me to develop effective and empathetic communication skills with children and their guardians. I firmly believe in the importance of educating and raising awareness in the community to prevent malocclusion and oral ailments that affect the quality of life of our children. Always updated on the latest scientific evidence and recommendations on the prevention of malocclusion in children, I feel committed also as a speaker to share my knowledge and skills with other colleagues to elevate the range of action towards better oral health in our patients.
