About

Dr. Salma Ghoneim treats orthodontic cases in adults, teenagers and growing children, working extensively with clear aligners as well as conventional appliances. She has a particular interest in gummy smiles, improving facial proportions, and treatment using miniscrews. She also holds a cosmetic facial fellowship from the University of Genova in Italy, and has eight years of experience with botox and fillers — which lets her address facial symmetry and gummy smiles alongside orthodontic treatment rather than referring those cases out. She consults in Arabic, English and Spanish.
