A polymath with a main focus in orthodontics, dr. Sherif Kandil tries to bridge the gap between orthodontics, material science, and software engineering. For over 10 years, he has worked with clear aligners as a practitioner, technician, entrepreneur, and a patient. Kandil has treated over 4500 cases with clear aligners, owns 6 patents, and has given over 170 lectures in CAT worldwide. Since 2018, Kandil has been involved in R&D at K Line Europe in Germany, where where he has found an amazing platform to pour in years of multilevel experiences and lateral thinking methods.

Kandil is an advocate of eco-friendly solutions and implementing them in orthodontics. He graduated in 2006 and worked as a dentist until 2012, when he specialised in orthodontics. As an entrepreneur, Kandil has established 3 companies servicing and manufacturing clear aligners.

I believe we live in the most exciting times where so many innovations are possible, this is a serendipitous opportunity to change orthodontics for the better.
