Omani resident orthodontist Dr Siju George, who has been practicing in Oman since 2003, has once again brought international recognition to the Sultanate with consecutive award-winning performances on both global and regional platforms.
Following his double triumph at the Invisalign Global Apex and Leading Star Awards 2025—held two months ago—where he was recognized among the world’s top aligner specialists and honored as Winner of the Best Orthodontic Case (Children Category) at the CAPP MENA Aesthetic Dentistry Awards 2024, Dr Siju has now been named Second Place Winner in the Best Orthodontic Case (Adult Category) at the upcoming CAPP MENA Aesthetic Dentistry Awards 2025.
The Aesthetic Dentistry MENA Awards are held in Dubai during November 2025. The event celebrates clinical excellence across the Middle East and North Africa, attracting participants from more than 25 countries. A 16-member international jury evaluates submissions based on treatment planning, execution, documentation, and overall smile impact.
“To receive recognition two years in a row is truly humbling,” said Dr Siju George. “These awards reflect not only my personal journey but also the dedication of my team and the rising standards of orthodontic excellence in Oman.”
With over 23 years of clinical experience and more than 12,000 completed orthodontic cases—including 1,600 Invisalign treatments—Dr Siju George has positioned Oman prominently on the global map of advanced aligner orthodontics.
His professional achievements also extend to academic contributions, notably as a contributing author to the internationally published textbook Atlas of Aligner Orthodontics (Elsevier). The book showcases complex clinical approaches and evidence-based treatment strategies shaping modern aligner therapy worldwide.
Among his other major recognitions include:
•EBAO Excellence Award 2024 (European Board of Aligner Orthodontics)
•Invisalign Apex and Leading Star Awards 2025 (first in Oman)
•Best Orthodontic Case – Children Category, CAPP MENA 2024
“Every recognition is a reflection of the teamwork and trust that patients place in us — values that define our daily work at Wassan Dental,” added Dr Siju.
These back-to-back international honors place Dr Siju George among the most decorated orthodontists in the MENA region and reaffirm Wassan Dental Centre’s standing as Oman’s leading hub for advanced orthodontic and aesthetic dentistry.
