Meet Dr. Katherine
M. Zhang
“What I love the most about being an orthodontist is getting to know the person behind the smile. Seeing my patients’ lives bloom after orthodontic treatment is one of my biggest professional satisfactions.”
Dr. Katherine M. Zhang brings her specialized facial aesthetics expertise in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics to our patients. She is committed to providing gentle and personalized care and stays up to date with the ever evolving field of orthodontics. She is highly skilled with aligners and braces and she specializes in facial aesthetics. Orthodontic treatment is much more than just about straightening teeth and creating a healthy functional bite - Dr. Zhang offers her patients a wholesome approach to achieve the most beautiful smile for life.
Dr. Zhang is a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics, a distinction held by only a fraction of practicing orthodontists and earned through rigorous additional examination beyond residency. She holds a Master of Science in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics from the University of Pennsylvania and completed additional training in Advanced Education in General Dentistry at the University of Connecticut. Dr. Zhang is also a Fellow of the Royal College of Dentists of Canada, a distinction earned by passing a rigorous oral examination in which candidates defend real clinical cases live in front of examiners — testing diagnosis, treatment planning, and judgment in real time, not just written knowledge. It's an entirely voluntary credential that most US-based orthodontists never pursue, since it isn't required to practice here.
