Dr Mahwash Masood graduated from dental college overseas in 1999 and completed 1 year of residency in Oral Maxillofacial Surgery .She moved to Canada after marriage and worked in a community dental set up for 4 years. After obtaining her Australian license in 2006, she experienced Australian lifestyles by working in private practices in different parts of Australia before finally settling in Geelong. Mahwash completed her mini residency in TMD, Pain and sleep from Brisbane in 2010, which changed her approach to diagnosis and treatment planning completely. She joined the AACP (American Association of Cranio-Facial Pain) and extended her training in the field through CPD courses. Her interest in the field became personal when Mahwash realized her 3-year-old daughter had all symptoms of sleep apnea. The journey to learn more about treatment of sleep apnea in paediatric patients ended up in a 3-year orthodontic mini residency. Mahwash has been practicing orthodontics since 2013 and is passionate about early intervention orthodontics due to her personal experience. Her approach to orthodontic treatment is not just about creating beautiful smiles, but also about treating the underlying cause of malocclusion, correcting postures and to maintain form and function for a healthy life. Mahwash spends most of her free time with her teenage daughter. She enjoys the outdoors, hiking, travelling and cooking in her spare time.
