The nation’s longest-running orthodontic partnership, Garrett & Boyd Orthodontics, has welcomed a new orthodontist to the family. Dr. Carina Perez-Cisneros joined Dr. Boyd and his team of highly skilled orthodontic professionals this spring.

Dr. Perez-Cisneros is excited to get to know patients and help them gain confidence and happiness in their smiles. She’s on a mission to transform lives, one smile at a time. “A smile is a way of communication — it is a way of projecting,” she says. “It always amazes me how a beautiful smile impacts other people and how a nice smile increases the confidence of the person who wears it.”
