Staying Up To Date

Pioneer in
Lingual Orthodontics

As a standout student, Dr. Brooks was awarded a competitive scholarship to travel to Beverly Hills and study lingual orthodontics directly from its inventor. Immersed in one of the most technique-sensitive disciplines in orthodontics, she quickly became a rising expert in the field.

Today, she brings that expertise to Coastland Dental, where patients seeking invisible braces behind the teeth can benefit from her unmatched precision and knowledge.
