We Make Beautiful Smiles a Reality

At Southlands Orthodontics in Aurora, CO, Drs. Jennifer Terrio and Michelle Mian believe orthodontic care is about more than straighter teeth—it’s about confidence, function, and long-term health. We welcome patients of all ages, from kids starting early treatment to adults finally saying yes to the smile they’ve always wanted.

The Kind of Patients We Love Working With

• Kids, teens, or adults who are ready to invest in their smile
• People who value their oral health and want a comfortable, functional bite
• Patients who stay consistent with appointments and follow treatment recommendations
• Families who ask questions, share feedback, and remain engaged throughout their care
• Anyone who appreciates a welcoming environment where they can feel at ease

Orthodontics for Every Stage of Life

Dr. Terrio cares for patients of all ages. While braces and orthodontic treatment are often seen as rites of passage for teens, many individuals only have access to corrective dentistry once they are adults. Whether you start your journey toward perfectly aligned, straight teeth at 7 or 70, our compassionate and friendly staff will make you comfortable throughout your treatment plan.

• Traditional Braces – Rethink what you know about conventional braces. Today’s braces are more comfortable, less noticeable, and more effective than the old “train tracks” of a generation ago.
• Clear Braces – Sometimes called clear aligners, these convenient, nearly invisible alternatives to metal braces are loved by children and adults for their versatility and comfort. Clear braces are ideal for those who need mild to moderate orthodontic correction.
• Retainers – Custom-designed retainers prevent teeth from shifting back after braces are removed, so your smile continues to look beautiful. Wearing retainers ensures your investment in straightening your teeth isn’t wasted.
• Preventive Appliances – Early intervention helps prevent severe orthodontic issues from developing. If your child is part of our monitoring program, we may be able to fit them with a preventative dental appliance to minimize their time in braces or eliminate the need for braces.

Problems We Commonly Solve

• Crooked or crowded teeth
• Bite issues such as overbite, underbite, or crossbite
• Jaw growth concerns in children

• Speech or chewing difficulties caused by misalignment
