Modern Zen Orthodontics is a specialized orthodontic clinic located at 19735 Germantown Rd #230, Germantown, MD 20874. The practice is spearheaded by Dr. Elizabeth Robles, a Certified Specialist in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics with over 25 years of experience. Inspired by her mother's orthodontic practice, Dr. Robles pursued her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree and completed a post-doctorate orthodontic residency program at NYU. Modern Zen Orthodontics distinguishes itself by integrating a "zen-inspired" approach into its practice, creating a tranquil and comfortable environment for patients. This includes features like water walls, aromatherapy, relaxing music, and EMF mitigation technology. Beyond traditional orthodontics, Dr. Robles places a significant emphasis on airway health, recognizing its foundational role in overall well-being and addressing issues like sleep apnea. The clinic offers a range of modern, evidence-based orthodontic treatments for children, teenagers, and adults. These include passive self-ligating Damon® braces, known for their efficiency and comfort, and Spark™ Clear Aligners, a virtually invisible and convenient alternative to traditional braces. Dr. Robles utilizes advanced imaging technology and proprietary software for precise treatment planning. The practice aims to achieve exceptional results in less time and with reduced discomfort, often minimizing the need for extractions. They also provide Phase 1 treatment for younger patients to guide jaw and facial growth. Modern Zen Orthodontics is an independently owned practice that prioritizes personalized service and building lasting relationships with patients. They offer remote monitoring for teeth movement, enhancing convenience for patients. In addition to her orthodontic expertise, Dr. Robles is also an Access Bars Consciousness Facilitator, 3rd Degree Reiki Practitioner, and Reconnective Healing Practitioner, reflecting her holistic approach to health and well-being.
