Why She Was Nominated:

Dr. Bhavnani believes in classic orthodontics that will remain stable for a lifetime. Her office is completely digital, with 3D CBCT X-ray units and iTero scanners. She’s also trained to provide InBrace, a behind-the-teeth straightening device.

Why She Became a Dentist:

“I knew that I wanted to become an orthodontist when I was 12 years old. I love that it is my job to give patients, who didn’t have it before, the confidence to smile.”

Tool She Can’t Live Without:

“A good old-fashioned bird beak—a tool used to detail the orthodontic wire which then, in turn, details the tooth position.”

Impact of the Pandemic:

“Other than the obvious financial loss, I would say it has brought my team closer together. We appreciate each other and support each other more than ever.”
