Dottoressa Catia Zanfanti

Dr. Catia Zanfanti graduated from the University of Bologna in the academic year 1991/92. Since then, she has specialised in orthodontic practice by attending various schools for the application of different techniques, from interceptive mobile therapy for children to various fixed techniques on permanent dentition, to invisible techniques with removable aligners. The basis of orthodontic therapy always remains maximum attention to pre-treatment diagnosis. This allows for the development of targeted treatment plans tailored to the real needs of patients, whether adults or children, minimising the duration of treatments.



SPEECH THERAPY IS PART OF OUR DAILY WORK


Many excercises to improve together

Dr. Caterina Cataldi, speech therapist, assists the orthodontist's treatment. Often the intervention of the speech therapist facilitates or even eliminates the need for long orthodontic therapies. Her professionalism and friendliness help children to practise and improve.
