Education
Dr. Oweis graduated from dental school in 2008 and joined the orthodontic residency program at the University of Illinois at Chicago in 2009. After that, she graduated in 2012 with an Orthodontic Diploma and a Master’s degree in Oral Science.
Credentials
After residency, Dr. Oweis earned her certification by the American Board of Orthodontics, an accomplishment she is very proud of.
Research
During residency, Dr. Oweis researched the effects of upper jaw expansion on lower jaw growth in growing children; a subject she is still very interested in. Subsequently, her research was published in a peer-reviewed journal.
Experience
Dr. Oweis began her orthodontic career immediately after graduation. In the meantime, she practiced at an established orthodontic office in Chicago’s south suburbs and also practiced in multiple dental offices in the Chicagoland area. During this time, Dr. Oweis gained substantial clinical experience treating patients of all age groups but she particularly enjoys treating younger children and teenagers.
Band & Wire
Meanwhile, Dr. Oweis and Dr. Ramzi did so with a team-approach in mind when they established Band & Wire. Furthermore, they consult with each other often and plan the majority of cases together. Consequently, what this means for Band & Wire patients is that not only one, but two board-certified orthodontists are diagnosing and planning their treatment. Certainly, this is a real advantage that most other orthodontic offices do not offer.
Treatment Philosophy
Firstly, Dr. Oweis treatment philosophy is focused on facial aesthetics and treatment outcome and her goal is to finish every case with the most aesthetically pleasing result.
In addition, Dr. Oweis, a mother of three children, always empathizes with parents and does all she can to help them choose the best treatment option for their children. Thirdly, and most importantly, Dr. Oweis’s goal is to make orthodontic treatment as easy, enjoyable and comfortable for all parties involved as possible.
