Your Cooper City orthodontists
Dr. Kristen Igualada-Heine is a Miami native who earned her DMD at NSU, graduating in the top 1% of her class. After dental school she was selected for a Craniofacial fellowship, then completed her orthodontic training at NSU. She is a member of the American Association of Orthodontists.
She takes a conservative approach to treatment, recommending only what each patient actually needs at every visit. You can read more about Dr. Kristen's training and approach on our team page.
Dr. Penelope Reingowsky grew up in South Florida after moving from Lima, Peru, at age seven. She studied at UF for both her undergraduate degree and an Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) certificate, earned her DMD at the University of Pennsylvania and finished her orthodontic training at NSU. She also belongs to the American Association of Orthodontists.
Dr. Penny tailors each treatment plan to the individual patient, and she speaks fluent Spanish.
Cooper City Braces
Traditional braces are one of the most efficient orthodontic tools we have. They're made of metal or ceramic brackets attached to your teeth and connected by wires and small rubber bands or elastics. With regular adjustments from our doctors, these parts work together to apply gentle pressure that slowly moves the teeth into the correct position.
Braces are an excellent choice for correcting both simple and complex tooth issues, and they remain one of the most widely used treatments in orthodontics. You can compare metal and ceramic options on our types of braces page.
Cooper City Invisalign
Instead of brackets and bands, Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually move the teeth into place. The aligners are made of a comfortable plastic that fits snugly over your teeth, and they're usually switched out every 1 to 2 weeks for the next set in the series.
You need to wear your aligners 20 to 22 hours per day for them to do their job. Patients who don't wear them as directed can affect their results and add time to treatment.
Invisalign is most effective for many of the most common orthodontic issues, though it may not be the right option for certain complex cases. Teens can use it too, and our Invisalign for teens page explains how it works for younger patients.
Find the Right Treatment for Your Smile
Our skilled doctors and staff provide customized treatment plans for each patient we see. When you visit our office for a consultation, you'll find that we focus on your particular orthodontic needs, along with your specific tooth shape, the movement of your lips and your face shape. Using this information as the basis for treatment helps make sure you end up with a beautifully aligned smile that's just right for you.
