Vita Dr. med. dent. Julia Steinmaier
After completing her dental degree at the Westfälische Wilhelms University in Münster in 2016, she worked in general dentistry as an assistant dentist at Dr. Jochims' practice in Diepholz. There she was able to deepen her practical knowledge and experience before continuing her specialist dental training at Dr. Werner Schupp's practice in Cologne.
During her further training in Cologne, Dr. Julia Steinmaier (née Funke) established in-house aligner therapy in Dr. Werner Schupp's practice as an orthodontist in Cologne.
Dr. Julia Steinmaier (née Funke) has also become an experienced user of the Invisalign treatment method and skeletal anchorage techniques (minipins).
In 2020, Dr. Julia Steinmaier (née Funke) continued her specialist dental training at the Freiburg University Clinic under the direction of Prof. Dr. B.A. Jung, where she deepened her knowledge in the field of orthodontics and refined her skills in the treatment of complex cases.
In 2021, Dr. Julia Steinmaier (née Funke) received her recognition as a specialist dentist for orthodontics by the Baden-Württemberg Dental Association and joined forces with Dr. Schupp in the joint practice Dr. Schupp, Dr. Steinmaier (née Funke).
Dr. Steinmaier has been using the DMD system since 2022. This enables her to examine and treat her patients' temporomandibular joints very precisely.
In January 2024, Dr. Steinmaier took over the practice from Dr. Schupp. At the same time, she also became a mother for the first time.
Dr. Julia Steinmaier (née Funke) is a member of the German Society for Orthodontics (DGKFO) and the German Society for Dental, Oral and Maxillofacial Medicine (DGZMK), as well as the Professional Association of German Orthodontists (BDK). She is also actively involved in the Craniomandibular and Musculoskeletal Medicine (CMM) working group and regularly takes part in further education and training courses in the field of CMD.
Her passion for orthodontics and her striving for excellence, which she also expresses through regular publications in specialist journals, have contributed to her being a popular speaker at congresses and advanced training courses as an orthodontist in Cologne.
