From metal and ceramic braces to clear aligners and specialty appliances, Dr. Blanco collaborates closely with the clinical team to manage appliance selection, inventory, and care protocols that support exceptional outcomes and efficient workflows.
But Dr. Blanco's contributions to orthodontics go beyond administration. She is also the visionary behind ChessSmile™ braces, a one-of-a-kind system featuring brackets shaped like chess pieces—an inventive nod to her background as a Woman International Chess Master, a title awarded by the World Chess Federation. Her goal was to create a treatment option as distinctive as the individuals who wear them—especially those with a love for chess, creativity, or standing out with a bit of flair.
Originally trained abroad, Dr. Blanco holds a foreign specialty degree in orthodontics, equipping her with an international perspective and a deep understanding of appliance-based treatment.
