I believe orthodontics should feel personal. I want my patients to feel heard, cared for, and comfortable every step of the way — because choosing your orthodontist is more than just straightening teeth.
I believe orthodontics should feel personal. I know how much trust we put in the people caring for ourselves and children, and I want my patients to feel heard, cared for, and comfortable every step of the way. That’s the kind of care I want every patient to experience at Winnie Orthodontics.
Being a mom of four has shaped the way I care for my patients – with patience, empathy and a little more perspective.
I care for every patient the way I would want my own children cared for.

I look at how the face, jaws, and teeth all look together - from facial profile and jaw relationships to smaller details that make a smile feel uniquely yours.
I consider things like tooth shape, how much teeth show when you smile, the arc of the smile, smile shadows, and how the edges of the teeth come together to create the overall shape of your smile.
Ultimately, I want the result to feel balanced, natural, and right for you - it's not just simply straight teeth, but a smile that works harmoniously with your face.
Dental School
Columbia University College of Dental Medicine
Orthodontics Residency & Masters of Science
The University of Maryland at Baltimore
I earned my dental degree from Columbia University College of Dental Medicine and completed an additional three years of specialized training in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics at the University of Maryland, earning my Master of Science.
Orthodontics is my specialty, and it’s what I do every day. After treating thousands of patients throughout the Arlington and Ft. Worth community, I’ve had the opportunity to care for a wide range of orthodontic needs — from straightforward alignment to complex bite and jaw relationships.
That depth of experience has shaped the way I practice with an understanding of how the teeth, jaws, smile, and face work together to create the best possible result for my patients.
You’ll usually find me somewhere between school drop-offs, kids’ activities, and whatever else the day has in store. When I’m not at the office, I love traveling, trying new restaurants, searching for my next favorite pair of shoes, grabbing a good boba, and getting in a Pilates reformer session when I can.

Choosing an orthodontist is a big decision. I’d love the opportunity to meet you, answer your questions, and see how we can create a smile that’s uniquely yours.
See you soon, Dr. Winnie ♡ㅤ
