He started his education at Barbaros Primary School, continued to Yenimahalle Secondary School, and completed his high school education at Tevfik Fikret High School. During part of his high school years, he studied in France at Strasbourg Gimnase Jean Strum due to his mother's work. In 1971, he entered the Ankara University Faculty of Dentistry. Throughout his education, Prof. Dr. Koral Çalgan provided him with classical violin lessons.

During his studies at Ankara University Faculty of Dentistry, his poems were published in Turkish journals such as "Türkiye Yazıları", "Türk Dili", and "Ilgaz". From 1977-1979, he was featured in Varlık Yıllığı alongside his contemporaries, Enis Batur and Murathan Mungan, as one of the "promising poets."

After graduating from Ankara University Faculty of Dentistry in 1976, he began his doctoral studies at the Hacettepe University Faculty of Dentistry, Department of Orthodontics, in 1977.

Prof. Dr. Orhan Okyay was born in 1898 in Istanbul. He graduated from Galatasaray High School and then completed his studies at Istanbul University Faculty of Medicine, School of Dentistry in 1924. In 1925, he became an assistant at the same institution and, thanks to a scholarship provided by the French Government, he went to Paris in 1926, where he graduated from the Paris School of Dentistry. During his studies in Paris, he became interested in orthodontics and studied under Prof. G. Villain. Upon returning to Turkey, he continued his assistantship and began lecturing on jaw orthopedics to students in the form of conferences. In 1933, following the University Reform, he became an associate professor. During this period, orthodontics was no longer just a lecture but became a separate course in the dental curriculum.

From 1966 to 1970, he served as the Dean of the Faculty of Dentistry, and as the head of the department until 1974. During his tenure, he trained many prominent scientists who significantly contributed to Turkish Orthodontics. Prof. Dr. Okyay passed away in 1975 and was the first Turkish member of the European Orthodontic Society.
