Raquel Kühn: orthodontist in Joinville

Dr. Raquel Kühn is an orthodontist in Joinville, in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil, registered as CRO-SC 13.709 / CRO-SP 75.183 and in clinical practice since 2001. She specializes in Orthodontics and Functional Jaw Orthopedics and has run her own clinic in the América district of Joinville since 2015, treating both children from the age of 4 and adults.

Education

She completed her Dentistry degree at UNESP (Araçatuba, São Paulo) between 1998 and 2001. Her further training includes a course in Orthodontics and Functional Jaw Orthopedics at SBOOM in São Paulo (2003-2005) and a specialization in Orthodontics at Universidade Braz Cubas in Mogi das Cruzes (2011-2013), plus more than 300 hours of congresses and short courses.

Areas of practice

Her work covers clear aligners, orthodontic preparation for orthognathic surgery, functional jaw orthopedic appliances that guide craniofacial growth in children, self-ligating braces along with conventional, aesthetic porcelain, and metal fixed braces, and preventive care for adults and children, including semi-annual prophylaxis, cavity and periodontal disease control, and oral cancer screening.

Technology

Treatment planning uses intraoral scanning, which removes the need for conventional impressions, and clear removable aligners. With the clear aligners, some trays can be changed at home under guidance.

Career across multiple clinics

Before opening her own clinic in 2015, Dr. Kühn practiced across several clinics in the states of São Paulo and Santa Catarina. In Mogi das Cruzes (São Paulo), she ran her own practice, Clínica Ortognatus, from 2001 to 2019. During the same period, she also treated patients at Consultório Dra. Mônica Tanaka, in Itaquaquecetuba (São Paulo), a role she has held since 2012. Earlier in her career, between 2002 and 2014, she worked at practices in Guararema and in the city of São Paulo, as well as at Best Odonto, in Santo André, and Cáritas Odontologia, in São Paulo.

In Joinville, she practiced at Clínica Felicitá from 2014 to 2019 and at Clínica Alcance from 2019 to 2024, alongside running her own clinic. This experience across multiple practices, built up over more than two decades, spans functional jaw orthopedics for children from age 4 and orthodontic treatment for adults, including orthodontic preparation for orthognathic surgery.
