Dr. Athulya KP
BDS, MDS. Orthodontist & Aligner Specialist
Reg. No. 10216 · Kerala Dental Council
I started out as a general dentist and spent the better part of a decade in busy clinics, including several years in the UAE. The cases that always pulled me in were the ones where teeth and jaws didn't sit right. So I went back to school for three more years and specialised in orthodontics at KMCT Dental College.
Since then I've done nothing but orthodontics and dentofacial orthopaedics: clear aligners, fixed appliances (MBT, Damon, double-slot brackets), growth modification for kids, and the harder cases that need bone anchorage (TADs), MARPE expansion, or coordination with an oral surgeon. My MDS thesis was a CBCT study on buccal shelf bone for miniscrew insertion, which is still how I plan most of my anchorage cases today.
The clinic is built around how I'd want to be treated as a patient: enough time per appointment to actually answer questions, transparent pricing, CBCT-based planning where it matters, and the option to message me on WhatsApp between visits when something feels off.

Specialised in
Orthodontics first, but every speciality on call.
Some cases need more than one specialist: a tooth that needs a root canal before bracketing, a wisdom tooth that has to come out, gum work, a child who needs early intervention. Our visiting consultants cover every speciality, so you don't have to chase a referral elsewhere.
