What Does an Orthodontist Do?

An orthodontist is a dental specialist who aligns teeth and corrects the bite to improve both oral aesthetics and function. They use various techniques and systems—such as braces, invisible aligners, or functional appliances—tailored to each stage of life.

In modern dentistry, orthodontics does more than just enhance your smile. It also helps prevent jaw joint issues, tooth wear, and muscle pain caused by misalignment. Orthodontic care is a key component of comprehensive dental treatments, especially when tooth positioning impacts cosmetic restorations, implants, or smile design.

Her Unique Approach

Dr. Stefania Hernández is a certified Invisalign Doctor, allowing her to offer high-precision invisible orthodontic treatments with custom-made aligners.

She is also trained in the H4–PITTS 21 self-ligating system, an advanced technique that improves treatment efficiency while reducing patient discomfort. During consultations, she uses digital tools such as a 3D intraoral scanner, eliminating the need for traditional impressions and allowing for visual simulations of results before starting treatment.

Her clinical philosophy blends a minimally invasive approach with a focus on natural facial aesthetics and an interdisciplinary vision, enabling close collaboration with prosthodontists, periodontists, and aesthetic professionals. She believes that orthodontics should adapt to each person’s lifestyle and goals, not the other way around.

But beyond technique, her true differentiator is her human-centered care. She accompanies each patient through every stage of the process, answers questions with patience, and ensures that the treatment transforms not only their smile—but also the way they see themselves.
