Our Philosophy
Why Choose a Board-Certified Orthodontist
Your care is led by Dr. Shruthi Lakshmana, DMD, MS, ABO Diplomate (board-certified). Board certification is a voluntary, rigorous process through the American Board of Orthodontics that requires advanced case submission, peer evaluation, and ongoing re-certification. In practical terms, that translates into:
- Treatment plans that balance facial aesthetics, function, and long-term stability
- Meticulous case tracking and timely adjustments to keep progress on schedule
- Clear communication about options (braces vs. aligners, timing, and any adjuncts)
With a specialist who treats orthodontics all day, every day, you can expect efficient mechanics, fewer surprises, and results designed to last.
Digital Orthodontics & Technology
Modern tools make care cleaner, quicker, and more precise, without added fuss.
- Carestream 9600: State-of-the-art panoramic/CBCT imaging with airway analysis when indicated. We use 3D imaging thoughtfully, only when it adds meaningful diagnostic value to safety or accuracy.
- iTero Lumina: Align’s newest scanner captures high-definition 3D models quickly and comfortably (no goopy impressions) for braces planning, aligners (Invisalign®, Angel Aligners™, Spark™), and retainers.
- A-dec dental chairs: Ergonomic, quietly comfortable seating that helps longer appointments (when needed) feel easy.
- Digital workflows: Efficient wire progressions, precision appliance fit, and streamlined check-ins designed to respect your time.
Why Our Patients Love Their Smiles
- Clarity at every step. We show you your bite in 3D, explain choices in plain language, and map out timelines and investment before you start.
- Comfort you can feel. Gentle techniques, low-profile braces or nearly invisible aligners, and technology that reduces chair time.
- Consistency that builds trust. On-time visits, proactive communication, and progress you can see.
- Results that last. Conservative tooth movement and tailored retainer plans protect your new smile long-term.
Our Smile Transformations
Every case is unique, and that’s exactly how we plan it. From early guidance that sets up healthy growth to comprehensive teen treatment and discreet adult alignment, we design movement that complements your facial features and bite. Curious how your own smile could change? At your consultation, we’ll review your 3D scans, discuss goals, and outline a plan: from the first tray or wire to the day you celebrate with retainers.
