Since completing Dental School in 2007, Nadia has shown her passion for learning and developing new skills as she embarked on her path to specialise. She gained experience in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Oral Medicine, Radiology and Paediatric Dentistry in the early part of her hospital career. The journey to becoming a Specialist and Consultant Orthodontist took Nadia across the Midlands and Yorkshire, gaining a wide range of experience in various hospitals, which shaped her training experience.
Nadia carried out her specialist training in Leeds and gained the Membership in Orthodontics from the Royal College of Surgeons England in 2016, alongside undertaking research in auto transplantation of teeth. Nadia passed her MSc with Merit from the University of Leeds.
Since 2016, she has built her experience in specialist Orthodontic practice. Further training in Birmingham Dental Hospital to become a Consultant, led to the Fellowship in Orthodontics. During this final part of training, she enjoyed treating patients needing multidisciplinary treatment and in particular Orthognathic surgery and hypodontia (missing teeth), as well as regularly attending Birmingham’s Children’s’ Hospital to attend cleft clinics with the multidisciplinary team in one of four craniofacial units in the UK.
Nadia has completed a postgrad certificate in dental education and has a passion for teaching. She has been involved in a number of orthodontic books for postgraduate.

Talking to my patients and building rapport to ensure they feel comfortable to share their orthodontic journey with me to reach the goal of their dream smile.
What is the most rewarding part of your job?
Seeing the final results of my patients’ orthodontic treatment and their reaction when their smile is revealed after their braces have been removed.
What do you enjoy doing out of work?
Baking and training for the GBBO (hopefully 2023 watch this space), Bollywood dance with the international shiamak academy, hiking adventures, being in the art studio with oil paints and a blank canvas, being in my kitchen cooking for dinner parties, creating memories with my family, working on various projects as a certified life coach.
What makes you smile?
Sunshine, the sound of waves on a beach, baking for friends, family and colleagues, and travelling to new places to explore.
