Mariia Kuchmina

Mariia Kuchmina is a specialist at the clinic, where orthodontics is planned through a functional, gnathology-informed lens. She is listed as an Orthodontist-gnathologist and Functional Orthodontics Expert, with a focus on TMJ disorders, growth guidance, and interdisciplinary care. Her approach includes gnathological aligners and the MEAW technique, alongside braces mechanics and functional occlusion planning. For patients, the clinical goal is not only alignment but coordinated joint therapy and dentofacial growth support. In diagnostic planning, Dr. Kuchmina works with the Gamma system for small and big functional analysis, and she uses imaging including CBCT, cephalometric radiography, and MRI. Treatment planning also includes TMJ disorder management via splint therapy, including miorelaxation splints and repositioning splints. Where orthodontic movement requires anchorage, she uses mini-implants (TADs), including palatal anchorage for rapid palatal expansion.

Clinical focus and techniques

Dr. Kuchmina’s clinical work centers on TMJ-aware orthodontics, combining functional diagnostics with biomechanics.

• TMJ disorder treatment with splint therapy: miorelaxation splint and repositioning splint.
• Growth guidance and dentofacial growth support as part of interdisciplinary orthodontic care.
• Gnathological aligners and functional orthodontics planning.
• MEAW technique and braces mechanics for controlled tooth movement.
• Functional occlusion and joint therapy as treatment targets.
• Use of mini-implants (TADs), including palatal anchorage for rapid palatal expansion.
• Orthodontic treatment with braces (metal, ceramic) and aligners systems including Spark aligners.
• Children and adolescents orthodontics: plates, Haas system, partial braces, palatal expansion, and space maintainers.

The clinic’s in-house diagnostic pathway supports consistent planning for complex orthodontic and TMJ cases. Mariia Kuchmina provides orthodontic care in Dubai, with treatment planning that can include CBCT and MRI when needed. For international patients, this functional orthodontic workflow is designed to coordinate joint therapy, growth guidance, and orthodontic mechanics into one plan.
