Business Details
We have been delivering orthodontic treatment in the Bay Area for over a decade, building a reputation for clinical excellence. We specialize in Invisalign, selfligating braces, and temporary anchorage devices, leveraging the latest technology to create customized plans. We employ intraoral scanning, cone beam CT imaging, and lowdose radiation protocols to ensure precise diagnostics while protecting patient health. We are a Blue Diamond Plus Invisalign provider, placing us in the top 1% of practitioners nationwide. We have been selected by Invisalign to teach fellow orthodontists advanced treatmentplanning techniques, reflecting our deep expertise. We hold advanced degrees and research credentials, including a masters in Oral and Craniofacial Sciences and published work on the temporomandibular joint.
We maintain active memberships in the ADA, AAO, and serve on the Mid Peninsula Dental Society board, demonstrating our professional commitment. We schedule regular checkups every six to eight weeks to monitor progress and adjust mechanics, ensuring efficient treatment. We provide transparent communication, offering direct email access to Dr. Contro for any questions throughout the orthodontic journey. We prioritize patient comfort by creating a welcoming environment across our Cupertino, Palo Alto, and San Francisco offices. We are dedicated to achieving beautiful, functional smiles that patients can be proud of while upholding the highest standards of care.

Services
Invisalign
Invisalign provides clear, removable aligners that discreetly straighten teeth while allowing normal eating and oral hygiene. We recommend it for patients seeking an aesthetic orthodontic solution without the visibility of traditional metal brackets. Our Blue Diamond Plus status, placing us in the top 1% of Invisalign providers, ensures expertly designed treatment plans and accelerated outcomes.
SelfLigating Braces
Selfligating braces use a specialized bracket system that reduces friction and shortens overall treatment time. We fit them for patients who prefer a durable, lowmaintenance orthodontic option. Our practice leverages the latest bracket technology to deliver precise tooth movement with fewer office visits.
Temporary Anchorage Devices
Temporary anchorage devices (TADs) are miniscrews placed in bone to provide stable anchorage for complex movements. We employ TADs when conventional mechanics cannot achieve desired alignment efficiently. Our precise placement, guided by cone beam CT imaging, minimizes risk and maximizes treatment predictability.
Intraoral Scanning
Intraoral scanning with the iTero Element creates a digital 3D model of each patients dentition. We use this model to design precise treatment plans and fabricate custom appliances without traditional impressions. The technology enhances accuracy, reduces chair time, and improves patient comfort throughout care.
Cone Beam CT
Cone beam CT imaging delivers threedimensional views of bone structure, teeth, and airway for comprehensive diagnosis. We apply these scans to assess bite, plan orthodontic mechanics, and monitor skeletal changes. Our commitment to lowdose protocols ensures safety while providing the detail needed for optimal outcomes.
