About

I’m Dr. Abhiyanth an Orthodontist, a Speaker, an Entrepreneur, and a mentor. I completed my BDS from the prestigious AB Shetty Memorial Institute of Dental Sciences, Mangalore in 2002 and my MDS in Orthodontics from Rajiv Gandhi University of health science in 2006. I have also done my fellowship in neuromuscular Orthodontics and Gnathology in 2016 from Italy and later completed my Masters in Neuromuscular Orthodontics & Craniomandibular Orthopaedics in 2020 from University of Jaume, Spain. I have nearly two decades of professional experience across geographies such as India, Dubai, Kuwait etc. During my time in Kuwait, I took a keen interest in Clear Aligner Therapy and was one of the earliest adopters of In-office aligners back in 2016. I have expertise in Clear Aligner Treatment Planning across various software, most notably 3Shape, NemoCast and ArchForm and I have also tried my hand at various 3D printing systems. I believe that with the right experience and guidance, Clear Aligners can be used to treat the most complicated of malocclusions. As a result of my hands-on experience, I am proud to state that I am currently treating more than 300+ patients every year using Clear Aligner Therapy. I specialize in delivering Aligner therapy to patients as young as 7 years to patients as old as 70 years. My motto is treat the cause and not the problem. As you may know by now, I am extremely passionate about Orthodontics and Clear Aligners. Starting in 2021, I have also helped set up Clear Aligner companies across various geographies such as New Zealand, India and Dubai and I now offer a one-stop shop Clear Aligner setup service encompassing patient education & case selection, treatment planning, manufacturing, treatment tracking and patient compliance. These are tied together using a software which I have helped develop ensuring a truly digital practice from Day 1 with benefits such as – - Digital Practice with Doctor & Patient mobile app - Production versatility - Positive patient engagement If you are looking to set up your In-Office Aligners, you have reached the right person – DM me, I’m happy to chat!
