Profile
I completed my Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) and Master’s degree in Orthodontics at Jordan University of Science and Technology (JUST), where I also worked as a Research and Teaching Assistant.
Currently, I am a PhD student in the School of Dentistry at the University of Leeds. My research focuses on the biomechanics of deep overbite correction, combining clinical orthodontic approaches with computational modelling and finite element analysis (FEA).
Research interests
Orthodontic biomechanics, finite element analysis (FEA), force systems in orthodontic appliances, and mechanical factors influencing tooth movement and deep bite correction.
