Important Stats on Orthodontics in Pakistan You Should Know

How Many Orthodontists Are Practicing in Pakistan?

One of the biggest challenges in orthodontic care in Pakistan is access to trained professionals. According to past statistics, Islamabad and Rawalpindi had only 17 registered orthodontists in 2015—serving a combined population of over 10 million. That’s roughly 1 orthodontist per 630,000 people.

Pakistan’s current orthodontic landscape reflects:

  • A shortage of trained specialists in rural and tier-2 cities

  • Unequal distribution of professionals, with major clusters in Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad

  • Limited postgraduate orthodontic programs

These numbers make it clear that Pakistan needs more skilled orthodontists and more accessible treatment options—especially digitally supported solutions like those at ClearPath Orthodontics.
