Dr. Sharma-Makwana’s journey to orthodontics began in high school, inspired by her love of science, her perfectionist tendencies, and the life-changing work of her own orthodontist.
She received her B.S. in Biological Sciences and B.A. in Spanish from the University of Illinois at Chicago, continued to complete her D.M.D. at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, OH, and then graduated from the specialty degree program in orthodontics at Tufts University in Boston, MA.
With patients looking forward to their orthodontic appointments, Dr. Sharma aims to make them feel proud and happy about their smiles. She loves building relationships with patients through the course of treatment and celebrating their achievement at the end!
Dr. Sharma grew up as an only child, moving around the country with her parents and learning to make friends everywhere she went. Since being born in Nebraska, she has moved almost 15 times and has lived in California, Missouri, Ohio, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Massachusetts—and now Arizona! Dr. Sharma enjoys traveling and has wonderful memories from Mexico, Spain, New Zealand, Guatemala, Panama, India, Greece, South Africa, and Thailand. She has also loved dancing since she was a child, so don’t be surprised if you see her busting a move in the office! Dr. Sharma enjoys puns and spending time with her husband, daughter, and new son.
Dr. Sharma-Makwana is a member of the American Association of Orthodontists, the Pacific Coast Society of Orthodontists, the American Dental Association, and the Arizona Dental Association.
