Facially Driven Orthodontics in Dubai & Sharjah
Reshape Your Face, Naturally
Looking beyond just teeth, facially driven orthodontics focuses on how your smile, jawline, and overall facial balance work together to create natural, lasting beauty. At World Class Orthodontics, Dr. Srinivas Rao Bogavilli — with over 15 years of orthodontic experience, — designs every treatment with facial harmony and non-surgical precision in mind.
What Is Facial Driven Orthodontics?
Facially driven orthodontics is a modern, minimally invasive orthodontic treatment approach that integrates digital smile design, jaw positioning, and soft tissue balance. It goes beyond traditional orthodontics by focusing on optimizing the face — not just aligning teeth.
We assess critical facial and dental elements such as:
-
Chin position and facial thirds
-
Lip posture and smile arc
-
Jaw projection and symmetry
-
Soft tissue harmony
To determine the correct facial and dental parameters for each patient, we use advanced diagnostic methods, including digital superimposition and facial esthetic analysis. Our complete digital workflow utilizes the latest technology, such as intraoral scan, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), cephalometrics, and treatment simulations, to guide predictable, functional outcomes and reduce the need for orthognathic surgery.
Why Choose a Facially Driven Approach?
This innovative approach aligns facial balance, tooth structure, and functional goals to achieve correct alignment and relationships, delivering superior long-term treatment outcomes. By leveraging digital precision and interdisciplinary planning, the approach is designed to optimize treatment outcomes, ensuring that esthetic and functional stability are achieved.
What Can We Improve with Facial Orthodontics?
Who Can Benefit?
Facially driven orthodontics is ideal for anyone concerned with more than just straight teeth — especially those with:
-
Facial asymmetry
-
Lip incompetence or gummy smile
-
Class II or III skeletal patterns
-
History of orthodontic relapse
-
A chief complaint related to facial or dental appearance
-
Esthetic concerns that motivate seeking facially driven orthodontics
-
Patients who have undergone orthodontics previously and may require further treatment due to relapse
-
Adults who, as a teenager, experienced orthodontic treatment and now sek further refinement
Our Facial Aesthetic Orthodontic Philosophy
At World Class Orthodontics, we use facially driven treatment planning supported by a complete digital workflow to align smiles with natural facial proportions. An interdisciplinary team of dental specialists collaborates closely to ensure comprehensive diagnosis, treatment planning, and execution. We begin by thoroughly evaluating the clinical situation, including the extent of tooth wear, existing restorations, and occlusal conditions, to determine the most appropriate treatment approach. Our approach follows a systematic procedure that integrates advanced imaging, digital workflows, and soft tissue considerations to achieve precise planning and optimal outcomes.
🧠 Full-Face Analysis
We combine cephalometrics, CBCT, intraoral scans, and facial photos to assess soft tissues and jaw alignment. Frontal view and lateral view analyses are performed to evaluate facial symmetry, occlusal relationships, and dental positioning. During cephalometric analysis, both soft tissues and hard tissues, such as bones and skeletal structures, are carefully examined. Special attention is given to the central incisors, as their position is critical for optimal facial and dental esthetic planning.
🎯 Functionally Guided Tooth Movement
Our treatments prioritize functional occlusion, not just straight teeth, helping preserve tooth structure and avoid relapse. In our planning, special attention is given to the positioning and movement of lateral incisors, as their alignment is crucial for both esthetic outcomes and functional dental harmony.
✨ Personalized Planning
We tailor every treatment using treatment simulations and digital smile design, optimizing each step for the individual face. During personalized planning, we determine the ideal tooth and jaw positions by analyzing digital records and facial features. The final positions are determined through careful assessment before proceeding with treatment. The value of digital tools lies in their ability to verify and validate treatment outcomes, ensuring precise and predictable results.
What to Expect: From Consultation to Confident Smile
Integrating Prosthetically Driven Orthodontic Treatment
For adult patients or those needing restorative work, we incorporate prosthetically driven orthodontic treatment into our plans. By utilizing a novel digital technique that leverages advanced software platforms, we can plan and execute orthodontic movements with greater precision and predictability. Our digital workflow is further enhanced by artificial intelligence, which streamlines landmark identification and automates complex planning tasks, improving accuracy and efficiency. This approach reflects our commitment to minimally invasive dentistry in all restorative and orthodontic procedures, ensuring alignment supports:
-
Minimally invasive restorative treatment
-
Future veneers, crowns, or implant placement
-
Better outcomes for general dental practitioners and interdisciplinary dentistry cases
Why Dentists Refer to Us
General dentists and private practice teams often refer complex esthetic or restorative cases because we offer a comprehensive approach to treating these cases, involving close collaboration with orthodontists for precise planning and outcome verification. Our orthodontist plays a key role in planning and executing complex cases, ensuring advanced imaging and digital treatment protocols are followed. By working with orthodontists, we verify treatment outcomes through digital superimposition and soft tissue analysis, providing:
-
Precise treatment simulations
-
Digital workflow for interdisciplinary planning
-
Alignment support for smile makeovers and implants
-
Facial and occlusal balance for better treatment outcomes

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is facially driven orthodontics?
It’s a digital, aesthetic-focused treatment that aligns the smile, face, and jaw for long-term, natural beauty — not just straight teeth.
2. How is this different from traditional orthodontics?
It includes soft tissue balance, facial analysis, and a complete digital workflow, not just brackets and wires.
3. Will I need surgery?
Often not. Growth modification, functional appliances, and early planning can avoid orthognathic surgery.
4. Do you work with general dentists?
Yes — especially when planning for prosthetically driven orthodontic treatment before veneers, implants, or full-mouth restorations.
5. Can adults benefit from this approach?
Absolutely. Adults often require more facial refinement, and this approach helps without needing aggressive dental work.
6. Do I need veneers or crowns after treatment?
Most patients don’t — but if cosmetic restorations are needed, we coordinate using virtual restorations and collaborative planning.
7. How long is the treatment duration?
Most treatments last 12–24 months, depending on complexity — but the results are designed to be stable and functional long term.
8. Why is it important to address periodontal problems before or during orthodontic treatment?
Addressing periodontal problems is crucial because healthy gums and bone support are essential for successful orthodontic outcomes. Untreated periodontal issues can affect treatment stability, prognosis, and the ability to achieve optimal functional and esthetic results, especially in interdisciplinary cases.
