Dentistry as a profession runs in the Silva family. Not only was my father a dentist, but seven of my eleven siblings are also dentists. As an orthodontist in Lakewood, CO, I love what I do and enjoy providing the very best service to my patients. I feel blessed to be able to change teeth positions into the most beautiful smiles.
I have been in education as a faculty member for the past 33 years of my life, I love to share what I do, what I know and also learn what I don't know. I am an eternal student! I have found in dentistry a very rewarding profession, our patients are the best of our daily work, I love to interact with them, get to know them and share many things.

About Orthodontics
Report
Do you need Orthodontics? Lakewood residents should know the American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children of about seven years are examined for the first time by an orthodontist (at that age permanent teeth begin to appear in the mouth) to identify any potential problem. Early detection and orthodontic care in Lakewood can help prevent possible tooth extraction or possible problems later.
Types of Braces
Report
Stainless steel (metal) are the most popular and traditional. Metal braces straighten your teeth using and brackets and archwires. Today the brackets are much smaller than they use to be and allow customization with different colors elastics. Self-ligating braces are similar to traditional braces, however these type of braces do not require the use of elastics.

Orthodontics for Teens
Report
OMG!, My world is going to end! That can be a typical response when a teenager is told he or she will have to have braces. Dr. Silva would like to assure all teens that those horror stories they have heard are not as bad as all that. Today the brackets are much smaller than they use to be and allow customization with different colors elastics and wire guides.
Orthodontics for Adults
Report
Adult braces are no longer as taboo as they once were, with more stylish and practical designs, braces are no longer just for children and teens. The number one reason for adults to choose a Lakewood Orthodontist is the importance of a healthy mouth. Misaligned or crooked teeth allow food and plaque to hide and over time lead to decay, gum inflammation and gum disease.
