General Field: Orthodontics

Country of Origin: Iran

Country of Residence at the Time of Filing: Iran

Approval Notice Date: April 18^th, 2025

Processing Time: 1 year, 4 months, 3 days

Case Summary:

An orthodontist has devoted his career to solving a set of growing challenges at the front lines of dental science: how to effectively treat patients with complex orthodontic needs, how to make such treatments more affordable, and how to leverage dental knowledge in the service of broader applications like forensics. His solutions are grounded in a unique interdisciplinary approach, drawing from dental, medical, and biological data to rethink how orthodontic care is delivered and how dental records can serve public health, forensics, and personalized treatment planning.

At the heart of his proposed endeavor lies an ambitious goal: to transform orthodontic methodologies into scalable, data-driven, and more precise systems of care. Our client is especially focused on improving treatment for patients with overlapping dental and systemic conditions, where traditional protocols fall short. He also leads efforts to reduce the financial barriers to high-quality orthodontics by advancing cost-effective clinical procedures, which, when widely adopted, help ease the economic burden of care delivery.

His academic record reflects this dual commitment to innovation and accessibility. He has authored 17 peer-reviewed journal articles (5 first-authored) and 4 books, and his research has been cited 72 times to date. These contributions not only shape clinical protocols but also strengthen the use of dental data in forensics applications, a fast-growing need in forensic science. In recognition of his influence, one expert emphasized:

“[Client]’s findings in the field confer a myriad of benefits in addressing dental anomalies. Maltreatment of orthodontic issues aggravates a patient’s condition and hinders the implementation of corrective measures, thereby exacerbating risks to dental public health. Innovations in orthodontic procedures and imaging technologies pave the way for more robust and efficacious strategies in the rational treatment of delicate dento-facial deformities. Due to his work related to improving orthodontic procedures, [client] is therefore central to the advancement of dental techniques for multifaceted disorders.”

The North America Immigration Law Group (NAILG) saw clearly how our client’s research aligned with the national interest, not only through its contributions to precision medicine and public health but through its potential to improve access to effective care. By building a petition that focused on both scientific innovation and societal relevance, NAILG secured NIW approval without delay. He now continues his mission in the United States, where his research is helping define the future of orthodontics in both clinical and forensic domains.
