AboutEmbrace Smile Studio Orthodontics

“When I was younger in orthodontic treatment, I had four teeth pulled. Naturally, I was mortified. I was thinking 'I thought we were straightening my teeth, not removing them.' As it turned out, it allowed my teeth to move into the healthiest and most aesthetically pleasing position. I learned from my doctor that there is an art to orthodontics, not an exact formula. Like a recipe to a chef, it is uniquely perfected. I absolutely love orthodontics for that reason. No two patients have the same treatment plan. While I carefully craft an individual’s smile, their overall confidence transforms as well. It is truly rewarding to be able to make such a positive impact on my patients’ lives.” – Dr. Neagu
