Dr. Mahtab Nouri

Dr. Mahtab Nouri received her DDS (and ranked as the top student among her classmates!) as well as her Master of Science in Orthodontics from Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences (SBMU) in Tehran, Iran. She became a full Professor in the Orthodontic Department at SBMU after 26 years of working as a faculty member. Dr. Nouri has published many publications in distinguished scientific orthodontic journals, and is always looking for innovation in the field. She was one of the founders of the dental research centre at SBMU and the Iranian division of the International Association of Dental Research. She was elected as the first Iranian female president of Iranian Association of Orthodontists in 2012 and was accepted to become a fellow of International College of Dentistry. From 1995 to 2018, Dr. Nouri practiced in her own private office in Iran, closely following the evolution of orthodontics throughout that time. In 2018, she was accepted at the University of British Columbia as one of the three Dental Specialty Assessment and Training Program students chosen annually in Canada, then finished an equivalency training program before passing the National Dental Specialty Exam (Canadian Orthodontic Board). Dr. Nouri lives in Toronto with her husband — who is a dentist! — and has two adult children.
