Formación académica

Susan C. Montero Masis has built her orthodontic practice over decades at ConfiDental Costa Rica, where she has served as Owner and Orthodontics Specialist since November 2003. Her clinical direction combines straightening-focused orthodontics with functional orthodontics and orthodontic functional orthopedics. At ULACIT University, she graduated Cum Laude from the Specialist in Orthodontics and Functional program in 2023, after completing her earlier dental education there.

When treatment planning calls for modern mechanics, Montero Masis uses certified techniques and systems such as Dental Aligners with Align Technology (2022) and Autoligado Pitts21 (2022). She is also trained in miniscrews (certification in 2022) and in techniques in mini tubes (certification in 2023), which supports orthodontic strategies that may include temporary anchorage devices (TADs). Her training portfolio extends to oral surgery (Platinum Education diploma in 2016) and a certificate in dental implants (2019), helping her coordinate broader dental needs alongside orthodontic correction.
