About Dr Obaid Ullah Qureshi
Dr Obaid Ullah Qureshi is one of the two consultant orthodontists at Dental Plus. Much of the work starts with an assessment: finding out whether treatment will genuinely help, and when is the right time to start it.
Timing matters most with children. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic check by age 7, while baby and adult teeth are both present. Many children who are checked early do not need anything yet, but a few problems are simpler to deal with while the jaw is still growing.
The other end of treatment matters just as much. Once braces come off, teeth tend to drift back towards where they started. A retainer, worn as advised, is what keeps the result you worked for, so the retainer stage is part of the plan from the very first appointment.
- BDS
- Bachelor of Dental Surgery, the degree every dentist qualifies with.
- FCPS
- Fellowship of the College of Physicians and Surgeons Pakistan (CPSP), a specialist qualification earned through years of supervised training and exams.

Questions for Dr Obaid Ullah Qureshi
When should my child first see an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists suggests a first check by age 7. It is usually just a look, not treatment. Before then, regular visits to our children’s dentist keep the teeth healthy.
How long do I need to wear a retainer?
Your orthodontist will set the schedule for your teeth. Teeth can keep shifting for years after braces, so many people wear a retainer at night long term to protect the result.
Is an orthodontic assessment the same as starting treatment?
No. An assessment is a look and a conversation. You leave knowing your options and the cost, with no obligation to go ahead.
