Welcome To
San Rafael Orthodontics
Where Innovation Meets Compassion
At San Rafael Orthodontics, we believe every smile tells a story—and we’re here to help you write yours with the perfect blend of cutting-edge technology and compassionate care. Led by Dr. Ana Calles Zand, a Harvard-trained, board-certified orthodontist and Fulbright scholar, our practice represents the future of orthodontic treatment: where advanced digital innovation meets genuine human connection.
Where Technology Meets Heart
Our commitment to the highest standard of care means you will be treated comprehensively with the newest, evidence based technology and treatments. We use iTero digital scanners and CBCT x-ray imaging to create customized treatment plans that are accurate, comfortable, and predictable. Dr. Ana’s training at Harvard Medical School and Harvard School of Dental Medicine taught her the importance of approaching patient care with a foundation in medicine.
When you choose our practice, you choose a provider and team that genuinely care about you and your specific treatment goals. There is no standardized prescription for your orthodontic needs and Dr. Ana prides herself in taking the time to properly listen, diagnose, and meet your orthodontic goals.
Personalized Care From An Expert In Orthodontics
Discover a range of orthodontic treatments tailored to your unique needs. Whether you’re seeking a subtle adjustment or a complete transformation, our expert team is here to guide you every step of the way.
Invisalign® Clear Aligners
Invisalign employs clear, detachable trays that progressively reposition your smile. This method permits convenient removal during meals and streamlines routine dental care, offering an easy, adaptable system for orthodontic treatment.
Metal Braces
Conventional metal brackets represent the most popular choice for orthodontic treatment. New hi-tech metal braces are more compact, enhanced for comfort, and constructed from resilient metallic materials. Best of all, you can personalize your brackets with colors to match your style.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces, also called clear braces, feature tooth-colored brackets and wires, offering a less noticeable alternative to traditional metal braces. These brackets use the same proven technology as metal braces, making them a popular choice for patients who want to straighten their teeth more discreetly.
