Orthodontics
Braces, clear aligners, and Invisalign planned by an orthodontist for a healthy bite and a naturally aligned smile.

Orthodontic care at our Hialeah office is led by Dr. Maria Isabel Guevara, an orthodontist with a Master’s degree in Orthodontics and advanced training at the University of Illinois in Chicago. After evaluating your teeth, bite, and jaw relationship, she explains whether traditional braces, clear aligners, or Invisalign is the best fit for your goals and lifestyle.
- Braces for precise control of complex alignment and bite concerns
- Clear aligners for discreet, removable straightening
- Invisalign treatment planned with digital precision
