Dr. Sophia Usmani, Orthodontist

Dr. Sophia Usmani was the first in her family to venture into the dental field. Since making the decision to pursue dentistry she has never looked back!  A native of Toronto, Canada, Dr. Usmani moved to Houston, Texas and received her undergraduate degree at the University of Texas in Austin.  After graduating with honors, Dr. Usmani enrolled in the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Dental Medicine and was awarded the coveted Dean’s Scholarship in recognition of her academic achievement. It was during her time in dental school that Dr. Usmani developed a strong interest in dentofacial orthopedics.  Inspired by the ability to help influence a child’s growth potential, Dr. Usmani began to consider the option of specialization after dental school.  It was also during her time at Penn that she met and married her husband, Dr. Sohaib Usmani. After finishing her dental school training, Dr. Usmani enrolled in Christiana Care’s General Practice Residency.  The following year, she was given the opportunity to work with one of the most prominent figures in orthodontics today, Dr. Robert Vanarsdall.  Under his tutelage, she gained a profound knowledge of orthodontics and was accepted into Penn’s prestigious Orthodontic Residency Program.  Dr. Usmani joined the Delaware Smile Center team in July 2011 and since then has been an asset for treating complex orthodontic cases.
