The Dr. Yazji Smile:
a seven-part treatment plan
Dr. Yazji knows that a brand new, stunning smile is not just simply about straighter teeth. Instead of only fixing malocclusions (gaps, spaces, and bites), Dr. Yazji focuses on seven key areas to ensure your smile is designed for your unique facial structure:
- 1. Smile Width
- 2. Smile Arc
- 3. Buccal Corridor
- 4. Incisor Display
- 5. Tooth Shape & Proportions
- 6. Smile Symmetry & Occlusal Balance
- 7. Airway & Functional Health
Every patient is different, but a focus on these features allows Dr. Yazji to build you a smile that is well-balanced, proportionate, and functional.
Braces, Invisalign and early treatment for kids, teens and adults
Smarter Orthodontics offers a full range of treatments tailored for kids, teens, and adults, from braces and clear aligners to beyond. At our practice, using state-of-the-art technology supports a broader mission: a face-first and aesthetic approach tailored to your unique needs.
Braces
Whether you prefer classic metal, low-profile ceramic, lingual, or Insignia™ custom-designed braces, we offer options that fit every lifestyle.
For kids, our WildSmiles® brackets add a fun, personalized twist to orthodontic treatment, making every smile one of a kind.
Invisalign and DreamSmile™ Aligners
As a Diamond Plus Provider, Dr. Yazji has helped thousands of patients transform their smiles with Invisalign. Super Elite Provider status indicates that not only are we among the most experienced Invisalign® practices in the country, but we are also committed to staying current with the latest Invisalign® treatment techniques.
We also offer DreamSmile by Dr. Yazji. This nighttime aligner technology offers a convenient, comfortable way to straighten teeth and is ideal for patients of all ages who want results without the all-day commitment.
Early Treatment
Like the American Association of Orthodontics, we recommend that all children see an orthodontist by age 7. Using advanced diagnostics and tools, we guide facial development in kids and prevent more complex issues down the road.
Our goal is to limit extractions and give kids an early start to a fantastic smile.
Retainers
Retainers keep your smile looking its best for years and are available in fixed and removable options.
With our Smart Retain Program, you’ll receive extra retainer sets as needed. At Smarter Orthodontics, we’ve got your back from start to finish and beyond.
Botox® Club

This treatment is perfect for relieving jaw tension and clenching. Botox also smooths fine lines, all under the care of a skilled orthodontic provider.
