Orthodontist, Breathwork Educator, Keynote Speaker, Conscious Clinician.

Dr. Vishal Sharma is a Canadian orthodontist, entrepreneur and educator with more than fifteen years of experience blending clinical precision with whole-person care.

A graduate of NYU College of Dentistry and Clinical Leader at UBC Dentistry, he is the founder of Aura Orthodontics, one of British Columbia’s leading orthodontic practices, with three locations recognised among the Platinum Top 1% Invisalign Providers in North America.

Over the course of his clinical practice, the questions Dr. Sharma asks have expanded beyond alignment alone. His work explores the relationships between orthodontics, craniofacial development, airway health, nasal breathing, oral function and sleep, and what these relationships can reveal about the conditions in which children grow and develop.

That evolving perspective has shaped an approach to care grounded in both clinical precision and curiosity.

Dr. Sharma is particularly interested in early intervention and in helping families understand the patterns they may be seeing, while recognising when collaboration across orthodontics and other areas of healthcare may be valuable.

Beyond the clinic, his work brings those clinical questions into a wider conversation about medicine, mindfulness and what whole-person care can become. Through speaking, education and Protecting the Breath, he explores where science meets lived experience, and how clinicians and families alike can learn to ask better questions about breathing, development and well-being.

As both doctor and storyteller, Dr. Sharma advocates for a future where healthcare honours calm, clarity and connection. His work invites people to look beyond teeth alone, protect the breath, and create the conditions in which people can grow well.
