Canepa Orthodontics

Canepa Orthodontics is a well-established orthodontic practice with two locations in Ohio: Lorain and Rocky River. The practice is spearheaded by Dr. Ian Canepa, D.M.D., M.S., who specializes in providing comprehensive orthodontic solutions for patients of all ages. Dr. Canepa received his D.M.D. and Masters of Orthodontics from Case Western Reserve University School of Dental Medicine, and is well-versed in various orthodontic biomechanics, phase I early intervention, and extensive clear aligner treatment. Canepa Orthodontics offers a wide range of services designed to address various bite and alignment issues. These include traditional braces, which are effective for more serious misalignments, as well as aesthetic options like clear aligners (e.g., Invisalign) for those seeking a more discreet treatment. They also focus on early intervention (Phase I) for children to address potential problems at a younger age, which can often lead to more successful and less extensive treatment later on. Adult orthodontics is also a significant part of their practice, recognizing the increasing number of adults seeking to improve their smiles. The clinic emphasizes the use of innovative technology to enhance patient comfort and treatment efficiency. They are committed to staying abreast of the latest advancements in the field through continuing education courses and seminars. Patient care is a top priority, with a focus on compassionate and personalized treatment. The team is described as friendly, well-trained, and dedicated to providing a supportive and nurturing environment. They believe in transparent communication about treatment options, risks, and costs, ensuring patients are well-informed. Beyond orthodontic treatments, the broader "Canepa Dentistry" family, which includes Dr. Linda Rak Canepa (DDS), also provides general and cosmetic dentistry services such as professional cleanings, exams, fillings, crowns, bridges, teeth whitening, and dental implant restoration, although Canepa Orthodontics specifically focuses on orthodontic care. Patient testimonials consistently praise the professionalism, warmth, and patient-centric approach of the Canepa practices, highlighting their commitment to comfort, clear communication, and excellent results.
