About Dr Afraaz Khan
Dr Afraaz Khan is one of the two consultant orthodontists at Dental Plus, planning braces for teenagers and adults with crowded, gapped or crooked teeth.
Orthodontics is about more than looks. Crowded teeth are harder to brush properly, and a bite that does not meet evenly can make chewing awkward. Moving teeth into a better position fixes both, which is why straight teeth tend to be easier to keep healthy for life.
Adults are welcome too. Plenty of people never had braces as teenagers and decide to sort their teeth out later, and there is no upper age limit as long as the teeth and gums are healthy.
Orthodontics has deep roots at Dental Plus. The clinic was founded in 1984 by Prof. Dr Amjad Mahmood, an orthodontist and a founder member of the Pakistan Association of Orthodontists.
