About Dr. Sree, Specialist Orthodontist in Dubai
Orthodontic treatment is not only about straight teeth. It is about the relationship between the teeth, bite, jaws, lips, face and long-term stability.
Dr. Sree, Specialist Orthodontist, provides specialist-led orthodontic care in Dubai with a focus on facially driven planning, complex bite correction, teen orthodontics and stable long-term outcomes.
every smile should be planned around the person’s face, not just the dental arch.
Specialist Orthodontic Care Focused on the Face, Bite and Stability
Many patients begin orthodontic treatment because they want straighter teeth. But a specialist orthodontic plan must look deeper.
Facial Profile
Bite Function
Growth Stage when Relevant
Lip Support
Jaw Relationship
Gum & Bone Support
Smile Arc
Root Position
Long Term Retention Needs
This thorough evaluation creates a treatment plan supporting not only alignment, but also facial balance, comfort and stability
Meet Dr. Sree
Dr. Sree is a Specialist Orthodontist with clinical experience in orthodontic treatment since 2010.
His work focuses on diagnosing and treating children, teenagers and adults who need more than routine tooth alignment. This includes patients with crowding, deep bite, large overjet, crossbite, gummy smile, facial imbalance, relapse after previous orthodontic treatment and complex bite concerns.
Patients often know him as Dr. Sree because of his approachable communication style and his focus on explaining the diagnosis clearly before treatment begins.
Education and Specialist Orthodontic Training
Dr. Sree completed advanced specialist training in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics.
A Specialist Orthodontist is trained beyond general dentistry to diagnose and manage tooth movement, jaw relationships, facial growth, bite correction and long-term retention.
This distinction matters because orthodontic treatment involves biological tooth movement through bone. The quality of the result depends not only on the appliance used, but on how the case is diagnosed, planned, monitored, finished and retained.
The goal is not only to align the teeth, but to plan treatment around the patient’s face, bite, growth pattern, bone support and long-term stability.
Clinical Experience Since 2010
Dr. Sree has been providing orthodontic treatment since 2010, with experience across routine, growth-related, aesthetic and complex orthodontic cases.
His clinical focus includes:
-
teen orthodontics
-
facially driven orthodontics
-
complex orthodontic cases
-
braces and clear aligner planning
-
gummy smile correction
-
arch expansion
-
jaw growth modification

This experience helps him approach each case with a balance of clinical judgment, digital diagnosis, biomechanics and realistic treatment planning.
Why Dr. Sree Focuses on Facially Driven Orthodontics
Straight teeth alone do not always create a balanced smile.
Orthodontic movement can affect lip support, facial profile, smile width, chin balance and lower facial proportions. For this reason, Dr. Sree uses a facially driven orthodontic approach whenever planning treatment.
This means the face is considered from the beginning.
Facially driven planning looks at:
-
how the teeth support the lips
-
how the smile follows the lower lip curve
-
how tooth movement may affect profile
-
how bite correction may influence facial balance
-
how the final smile will look naturally on the patient’s face
The goal is not simply to align teeth. The goal is to create a smile that belongs to the face.
Clinical Expertise
Teen orthodontics is not simply about placing braces. Some teen cases involve jaw growth imbalance, impacted teeth, severe crowding, bite instability, gummy smile, large overjet, deep bite or facial profile concerns
Experience With Complex Orthodontic Cases
Some orthodontic cases are more complex than routine alignment.
Complex cases may involve:
-
Severe Crowding
-
Deep bite
-
Narrow arches
-
Gummy Smile
-
Open Bite
-
Cross Bite
-
Impacted Teeth
-
Large overjet with lip trapping
-
Facial or dental midline discrepancies
-
Class II or Class III bite patterns
-
Relapse after previous early treatment
-
Root torque or uncontrolled tooth movement issues
These cases require careful diagnosis, controlled biomechanics and realistic planning.
Teen Orthodontics and Growth-Focused Planning
Teen orthodontics is one of Dr. Sree’s major clinical focus areas.
During the teenage years, many permanent teeth have erupted, but growth may still influence the bite and facial profile. This makes timing important.
-
Growth stage
-
Overjet and Deep bite
-
Jaw relationship
-
Facial balance
-
Arch width
-
Retention needs
-
Eruption of canines and premolars
-
Crowding severity
For many teenagers, the right plan is not only about braces or aligners. It is about using the teen growth phase wisely and protecting the smile for the future
Braces, Clear Aligners & Appliance Selection
Braces and clear aligners are tools. The real value comes from the diagnosis and treatment plan behind them.
Dr. Sree may recommend braces, clear aligners or a combined approach depending on:
-
Case complexity
-
Bite correction needs
-
Root control requirements
-
Growth stage
-
Oral hygiene
-
Compliance
-
Smile and facial goals
For many teenagers, the right plan is not only about braces/aligners. It is about using the teen growth phase wisely and protecting the smile for the future
Gummy Smile and Vertical Bite Correction
Some patients show excessive gum display when smiling because of tooth position, deep bite, vertical imbalance or facial proportions.
Dr. Sree evaluates gummy smile cases by looking at:
-
Upper tooth eruption
-
Deep bite
-
Smile arc
-
Vertical control needs
-
Lip posture
-
Facial proportions
In selected cases, gummy smile correction may be planned with orthodontic intrusion, braces, aligners or TAD-supported mechanics.
The goal is to reduce gum display when appropriate while maintaining natural smile character and facial balance.
Digital Diagnosis and Treatment Planning
Modern orthodontic treatment depends on accurate records and careful planning.
Depending on the case, Dr. Sree may use:
-
Clinical photographs
-
Digital scans
-
OPG and cephalometric radiographs
-
Bite analysis
-
Facial profile assessment
-
Digital treatment simulation
-
Progress monitoring
These records help evaluate tooth position, root direction, jaw relationship, facial balance and treatment progress.
Digital tools are useful, but they do not replace specialist judgment. They support diagnosis and help explain the treatment plan more clearly.
Ethical, Specialist-Led Treatment Planning
Orthodontic treatment should be recommended only when it is appropriate.
Dr. Sree’s planning approach includes:
-
Explaining the diagnosis clearly
-
Discussing treatment options honestly
-
Avoiding unnecessary treatment
-
Explaining limitations and risks
-
Considering long-term stability
-
Planning retention before treatment ends
Not every case needs early intervention. Not every case is suitable for clear aligners. Not every complex bite can be corrected without broader treatment planning.
A trustworthy orthodontic consultation should make these points clear.
Long-Term Retention and Stability
Orthodontic treatment does not finish when braces or aligners are removed.
Teeth can shift over time due to growth, habits, bite forces, gum support and natural aging. Retention is essential for protecting the result.
Dr. Sree’s planning approach includes:
-
removable retainers
-
fixed retainers in selected cases
-
retention instructions
-
follow-up reviews
-
relapse risk reduction
Long-term stability is part of the treatment plan, not an afterthought.
Specialist Orthodontist vs General Dentist
A general dentist and a Specialist Orthodontist both play important roles in dental care, but orthodontics requires advanced training in tooth movement, facial growth and bite correction.
A Specialist Orthodontist is trained to assess:
-
jaw relationships
-
root movement
-
facial balance
-
growth patterns
-
bite stability
-
complex biomechanics
-
relapse risk
This is especially important for patients with complex bite problems, teenagers during growth, adults with relapse, or patients considering clear aligners for more than minor alignment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a dentist and a Specialist Orthodontist?
A general dentist focuses on overall dental care. A Specialist Orthodontist has additional training in tooth movement, jaw relationships, facial growth, bite correction and retention.
Why should I see a specialist for clear aligners?
Clear aligners are only a tool. The final result depends on diagnosis, movement planning, attachment design, bite control and monitoring. A specialist can assess whether aligners are suitable and safe for your case.
What does facially driven orthodontics mean?
Facially driven orthodontics means treatment is planned around the face, lips, smile arc, profile and bite — not just straightening the front teeth.
Can orthodontics improve facial balance?
In selected cases, yes. Orthodontic treatment may influence lip support, smile width, chin balance and profile harmony depending on the diagnosis.
Do you treat complex orthodontic cases?
Yes. Dr. Sree evaluates complex cases such as deep bite, overjet, crossbite, impacted teeth, gummy smile, relapse, asymmetry and difficult bite corrections.
Can complex bite problems be corrected without surgery?
Some cases can be managed orthodontically without surgery, depending on severity, age, growth pattern and treatment goals. More severe skeletal cases may require multidisciplinary planning.
Do you treat teenagers?
Yes. Teen orthodontics is one of Dr. Sree’s focus areas, especially cases involving growth timing, overjet, deep bite, crowding, impacted teeth and facial balance.
Why is retention important after orthodontic treatment?
Teeth can shift after treatment. Retainers help maintain the result and reduce relapse risk.
Is every patient suitable for clear aligners?
No. Clear aligners can work well for selected cases, but some complex movements are more predictable with braces or combined mechanics.
What happens during the first consultation?
The first consultation includes discussion of the concern, clinical assessment, explanation of the diagnosis, and guidance on possible treatment options.
