Dr. Liliana Calkins
Education and Commitment to Continuing Education

I attended the National Autonomous University in Mexico City for my Doctorate of Dental Surgery and hold two degrees in orthodontics, one from Mexico, the other a Specialty in Orthodontics from Howard University’s Postgraduate Program, in Washington, D.C. Her degree is recognized by the American Board of Orthodontics with successful completion of Phase I on the American Board of Orthodontics.
Every year I complete many hours of continuing education. In addition to attending numerous lectures, seminars, and conferences, I participate in the Damon® and Insignia™ Forums, am part of the Spears Study Group, and the Northern Virginia Orthodontic Study Club.
With the constant changes in orthodontic and dentofacial orthopedic treatments and technologies, it’s essential I remain current. My patients trust me to provide the highest level of care; continuing education ensures I exceed their expectations.
