We provide our patients with the highest quality orthodontic care in a personal, professional environment. Getting to know you and meeting your individual orthodontic needs are our foremost concerns. The majority of our patients have been referred to our office by their dentist, friends and/or family members.

We view this as testimony that our office is highly regarded for the results we achieve and the way we care for our patients. We believe that we offer the finest care in the team-delivered orthodontic experience. Our entire team is well-trained and dedicated to providing a superior level of orthodontic treatment and personalized care.
Services
Dr. Poggio's passion for Orthodontics brought her to San Diego in 1994, to receive specialized Orthodontic training at the Lawrence F. Andrews Foundation for Orthodontic Education and Research. After years of professional training at the Foundation and subsequently at the University of Detroit-Mercy, Dr. Poggio's love for San Diego led her to return to the area to open her Orthodontic practice, serving the Eastlake community.
Poggio and the entire staff at Otay Lakes Orthodontics has basically been part of our life for 10 years. My daughter had many phases of work needing to be done at appropriate times of development with a multidisciplinary team and through the years this office has taken such good care of my daughter as if she was their own.
At the first visit to the orthodontist a medical/dental history, and a clinical examination are performed. If treatment is recommended diagnostic records are made to determine the best course of treatment. Complete diagnostic records typically include plaster study models of the teeth, photos of the patient's face and teeth, and X-rays.
Our goal at Otay Lakes Orthodontics is to make orthodontic treatment affordable for everyone. As a matter of convenience to patients, Dr. Poggio also offers an automatic draft from checking accounts or credit cards. We will review all the fees associated with treatment and the financial options available during your complimentary orthodontic consultation.
It's more important than ever to brush and floss regularly when you have braces, so the teeth and gums are healthy during orthodontic treatment. Patients who do not keep their teeth clean may require more frequent visits to the dentist for a professional cleaning. Adults who have a history of gum disease should also see a periodontist during orthodontic treatment.

The staff were all very friendly and attentive. I felt very comfortable during my visit. Of course I expected that since Dr Poggio did braces for both my children…

Dr. Poggio and her staff are amazing. They are always so kind; both when in-office and on the phone. My oldest son started orthodontic treatment with Dr. Poggio in 2017, and when he finished his braces in 2019, I started Invisalign. It has always been a great experience.

Everyone in office took time to explain all details and answer our questions. Much appreciated to the time the office gave us. Never felt rushed or that our questions and concerns were invalid. It was our first appointment and probably not our last.

I love their service, always very clear answering my questions and very friendly. I’ve been going here since I was a kid and by personal experience, they have made my teeth perfect. I love my smile and they’re always so nice and really get to connect with you as a patient. 10/10 recommend to go here. Even during covid they’re very protective and make me feel safe.

We are at the end of my son (Donovan) time with braces, this has been the best experience from beginning to end. Today everyone was just as excited as we are to have his braces removed. From the front office to the back office EVERYONE is amazing.
You will not find a better orthodontist in this area, they are the best. In the couple of years we have been coming here we have not had one bad experience.
Satisfied Mom!
