The Smile Expert Behind Your Care

Meet Dr. Margarita Lachica

For more than 27 years, Dr. Lachica has had the privilege of helping patients create healthy, confident smiles. As a U.S. Navy veteran and orthodontist, she values building relationships, earning trust, and providing the highest quality care for every patient who walks through our doors.


Her passion for orthodontics began with her own smile journey. Having braces as a patient showed Dr. Lachica firsthand how transformative orthodontic treatment can be, not only for your smile, but for your confidence as well. That experience continues to inspire the care she provides every day.


When Dr. Lachica is not in the office, you can find her enjoying the outdoors, whether that’s amateur river rafting, tackling a landscaping project at home, or cheering on her daughter at her lacrosse games. She also enjoys travel, psychological thrillers, the ukulele, and great sushi.


Dr. Lachica is committed to helping her patients achieve a smile they’ll be proud to share.
