Dental & orthodontic care in English, French and Arabic
Before any treatment, it is essential to fully understand your diagnosis and the options available. That is why Dr El Melali sees patients in English, French and Arabic. Are you an expat, a student or working in Paris and looking for an English-speaking dentist in Paris? Would you rather describe your needs in Arabic, or are you accompanying a relative who is more comfortable in that language? The examination, explanations, treatment plan and follow-up take place in the language you choose. Having a bilingual dentist in Paris also helps bilingual families.
Orthodontics, teeth alignment & INVISALIGN®
Dr El Melali provides orthodontic treatment to correct misaligned teeth and jaw discrepancies. Teeth are aligned with fixed braces (brackets bonded to the teeth) or with invisible aligners, which are clear and removable. As an INVISALIGN® Full certified provider, she offers invisible aligners in Paris for kids and adults alike.
Who is it for?
In children, orofacial orthopedics supports healthy jaw growth. In teenagers, crowded or spaced teeth are common reasons for a consultation. In adults, treatment can realign teeth that have shifted over time.
What to expect from invisible aligner treatment
- Assessment: clinical examination, discussion of your expectations and X-rays if needed.
- Digital scan and treatment plan: the movement of your teeth is planned step by step, then presented to you before any decision is made.
- Wearing the aligners: you receive a series of custom-made aligners, each worn for the period specified. You take them out to eat and to brush your teeth.
- Follow-up: regular check-ups monitor progress and allow the treatment to be adjusted.
- Retention: at the end of treatment, a retainer helps stabilise your teeth.
General dentistry
Alongside orthodontics, Dr El Melali provides routine dental care for the whole family: check-ups, scaling, treatment of cavities and gum care. With training in surgical periodontics, she also treats gum inflammation and periodontitis. This all-round care matters in orthodontics: teeth and gums must be healthy before any orthodontic appliance is fitted, and thorough oral hygiene at home remains important throughout the whole treatment. Other treatments available at the practice are described in the Dental Care section of the website.
My approach
Communication, transparency and empathy are at the center of my practice. I listen to your expectations and concerns, then explain each step, the possible options and what they involve, so that you can make a fully informed decision. With children, I adapt my explanations to their age and involve the parents. In English, French or Arabic: looking forward to meeting you!
