I received my dental degree from the School of Dentistry at the Universidad Central de Venezuela in 1993. Then I traveled to Philadelphia, where I obtained my orthodontic specialty certificate from the University of Pennsylvania in 1997. After returning to my home in Venezuela, I joined my mother and we practiced together for several years. I thoroughly enjoyed that time. I came in with my new ideas and my love for technology, and was able to meld that with my Mom’s years of experience and wisdom.
In 2003, I accepted an associate professorial position at the Center for Advanced Dental Education at Saint Louis University. I loved it! I taught orthodontic residents. As a result, I continued to expand my own education, so I had the opportunity to use different technologies and see how they worked first hand and up close. While there, I was also a member of the Cleft Lip/Palate & Craniofacial Deformities Team at Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital in St. Louis.

Dr. Atique is a top-notch orthodontist, gifted as a teacher, thorough and precise in her treatment of her patients, determined in her pursuit of excellence, and always striving to lead instead of following. It is always very gratifying to see a colleague do very well in her professional career! Great role model!
