Choosing Smarter Orthodontics means choosing a privately owned, doctor-led practice founded by Dr. Maria Yazji, with more than 30 years of experience, advanced orthodontic technology, and care that’s personalized to you. Dr. Maria Yazji evaluates and creates a unique treatment plan for every patient, with a focus on both your smile and your overall facial aesthetics.
With three offices serving South Florida, Dr. Yazji and her team have cared for more than 20,000 patients since 1995, including generations within the same families.
For more than 30 years, Dr. Maria Yazji has built Smarter Orthodontics around caring for people, not just straightening teeth. Since opening her first office in Miami in 1995, she has expanded to Weston and Brickell while staying true to the same thoughtful, compassionate approach to care. Dr. Yazji believes your treatment should be as individual as you are, thoughtfully planned around your smile, your facial features, and the confidence you want to feel every day.
Orthodontics is about more than simply straightening teeth, and that belief is at the heart of the Dr. Yazji Smile. Dr. Maria Yazji looks at the bigger picture, considering the teeth, smile, bite, jaws, and facial aesthetics together so she can create a treatment plan that feels uniquely suited to you.
Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, Dr. Yazji focuses on how your smile fits your individual features, function, and overall appearance. That thoughtful, whole-face perspective is what defines the Dr. Yazji Smile: a smile planned around you, not a standard formula applied to every patient.
With over 30 years of experience, Smarter Orthodontics founder Dr. Yazji personally evaluates every patient and oversees their treatment plan, combining her expertise with a whole-face approach that considers both smile alignment and overall facial harmony.
Our team treats every patient with the same kindness, patience, and gentle care they would want for themselves. Some team members have been part of Smarter Orthodontics for 20 to 30 years, bringing a level of experience, familiarity, and connection that patients can feel when they walk through the door.
Orthodontic care has changed tremendously over the past 30 years, and Smarter Orthodontics has continued to evolve right along with it. Dr. Yazji uses tools like the iTero™ digital scanner to create detailed 3D models of the teeth without traditional impressions and Planmeca ProMax® 3D imaging to evaluate the teeth, jaws, facial structure, and surrounding anatomy when planning care. Together, you and Dr. Yazji can choose the approach that makes the most sense for your smile, your goals, and your day-to-day life.
Dr. Yazji believes that the community that has helped Smarter Orthodontics find success deserves love back. She is a regular volunteer with Smiles Change Lives and is the creator of Smiles Against Bullying, which offers free orthodontic treatment to students in need in the Greater Miami area. Giving back to her local community gives her so much joy.
