dr Liis Raud
Orthodontist
Introduction
I am an orthodontist with extensive clinical experience in both orthodontics and dental prosthetics. I have been working as an orthodontist since 1995 and previously in the field of dental prosthetics, which has given me a strong understanding of overall dental function and rehabilitation. I continuously update my skills through international training in orthodontics and myofunctional therapy, including complex malocclusions, growth abnormalities, anchorage techniques, and orthodontic finishing. I am a member of the Estonian Orthodontic Society and the Estonian Dental Association, and I value evidence-based and patient-centered treatment.
