Book Dr. Vishal Sharma
Speaking EngagementsDr. Vishal Sharma is an orthodontist, educator and speaker exploring what becomes possible when we look beyond teeth alone.
Drawing on more than fifteen years of clinical practice, his talks explore orthodontics, craniofacial development, airway health, nasal breathing, sleep, early intervention and whole-person care.
His work begins with the clinical questions he has learned to ask differently: How does this patient breathe? How do they sleep? How are the jaws and face developing? What role might oral function play? And what changes when clinicians look beyond alignment alone?
From there, Dr. Sharma brings those questions into wider conversations about medicine, mindfulness, leadership and masculinity, combining clinical experience with storytelling, humour and an approach designed to make complex ideas accessible.
A graduate of NYU College of Dentistry, Clinical Leader at UBC Dentistry, and founder of Aura Orthodontics, Dr. Sharma brings the perspective of a practising clinician, educator and practice leader to every stage.
In Fall 2025, Dr. Sharma delivered a lecture at Bharati Vidyapeeth Dental University in Navi Mumbai, exploring early orthodontic intervention, airway awareness and the evolving questions shaping his approach to clinical care.
His presentations combine clinical insight with clear, human storytelling, translating complex ideas into conversations that invite professionals and wider audiences to think differently about breathing, development and care.
Whether speaking to healthcare professionals, students, parents or broader audiences, Dr. Sharma creates space for both evidence and inquiry, bringing curiosity, humour and humanity into subjects that are too often discussed in isolation.
