LUIS HUANCA

THE 3D ORTHODONTIST

DOCTOR
FATHER
SPEAKER
RUNNER

I could have been an engineer, but I turned my passion for problem solving into the most mathematical branch of dentistry: orthodontics.

I got my Dental Degree in 2006 in Milan and I followed my studies specializing in Ortrthodontics in 2009. I ended my study pathway in 2012 achieving a PhD with a main focus on 3D imaging.

I worked in Italy as the head of the orthodontic department of three hospitals in the area of Bergamo, where I was born and raised, and also in the dental office of my father.

Since 2013 I live in Lausanne, that I elected to be the place where I want to raise up my family. After a couple years working in the community dental service of Lausanne, I opened my practice in Epalinges, at the terminal station of the metro line (M Croisettes). I also work in Peseux, at the doors of Neuchatel since 2015.

I am married with a wonderful woman, named Samjhana, who I met in Nepal some years ago. She brought so much happiness in my life! We are married since 2016. In 2018 we became parents of our first little baby, Giulian that fills with joy the walls of our place in Lausanne.

We love to travel and with Samjhana we regularly travel to Nepal, where she still has part of her family. We have been together in more than 30 country around the world and we are looking forward to discover our beautiful planet as a family.

I love to lecture and to share my passion for orthodontics. I feel privileged into loving so much what I do and I am always willing to improve my skills, but also to give back by teaching to students in the university and colleagues. I am often invited to give lectures in universities and at conferences all over the world.

I serve as a researcher in the University of Geneva, also teaching to postgraduate residents. I regularly contribute to the advancement of knowledge in our field by authoring papers on the main international orthodontic journals.

I love to run in each moment of my free time as it makes me feel in contact with the nature. I love to run along the shores of the Lac du Leman and crossing the vineyards of Lavaux in our beautiful Switzerland.

When I can arrange longer breaks I love to climb mountains as highest possible. While dreaming of the Everest, I achieved to summit Mt Blanc and Matterhorn in the Alps, some peaks of more than five housand meters in Nepal, and Mt Aconcagua (6’962) in Argentine maybe the highest “hike” that you can reach without being an alpinist.

THE INVISALIGN SYSTEM

Invisalign is one of the most sophisticated systems available that can straighten your teeth in a virtually invisible and aesthetically pleasing way. The Invisalign system uses polyurethane, a transparent plastic that allows for a certain level of elasticity. This elasticity allows the teeth to shift little by little from their initial position of misalignment to the proper position. The extent of this shift depends more or less on the extent of the initial misalignment.

The procedure is done in stages, each stage corresponding to a different aligner. The total duration of the treatment can vary from 2 months to 2 years, depending on the patient.
