Biography
Dr. Lina Farouk runs Aurelia's orthodontic department and has completed more than 1,200 clear aligner cases, placing her among the highest-volume Invisalign providers in the Gulf.
She qualified in Cairo, then completed her orthodontic specialist training in Edinburgh, earning Membership in Orthodontics from the Royal College of Surgeons. Her practice is split roughly evenly between adult aligner therapy and adolescent fixed appliances, and she is unusually direct about which cases aligners cannot solve — a position that has earned her a steady referral stream from clinics that would rather not say no.
She leads the clinic's digital treatment planning reviews, where every orthodontic simulation is checked against the surgical and restorative plan before a single aligner is printed.
“An aligner plan is a promise about where forty teeth will be in eighteen months. I do not make that promise unless the biology agrees with me.”

Patients
“Two clinics told me my case was too severe for aligners. Dr. Farouk showed me the simulation, told me it would take eighteen months, and it took eighteen months.”
“Eleven months, and the only difficult part was remembering to put them back in after lunch. Which is my fault, not theirs.”
