              Get to Know Dr. Avila

              Dr. Avila was born to Brazilian immigrants in the city of Castro Valley, California, a suburb of Oakland. His father was an accountant, and his mother was a school teacher. Both of his parents had large families. Dr. Avila has 16 aunts and uncles in Brazil along with dozens of cousins.

              Dr. Avila's first job came when he was 6 years old. Since then, he has experienced many jobs from janitor to registered investment advisor. He has owned five patents and still operates media equipment at his church.

              Dr. Avila has lectured to orthodontic residencies in the U.S. and Canada on the SYNERGY Orthodontic Appliance. He has practiced orthodontics in Indiana since 1997 when he moved here from California. He received his rigorous orthodontic training at Loma Linda University in Loma Linda, California.

              He feels especially privileged to have had the opportunity to spend many hours with world-renowned orthodontist Ruell W. Bench. Dr. Bench has lectured extensively around the world on many orthodontic topics, including authoring a series of articles in the American Journal of Orthodontics on predicting how and when growth affects the human face.

              Orthodontic Specialization

              While many dental professionals may offer some kinds of orthodontic treatment, our office consists of certified orthodontic specialists. Certification requires all the training general dentists need, plus several years of post-graduate training in orthodontics. We focus solely on orthodontics so that we can provide you with the most effective and long-lasting treatment.

              Talented Staff

              Our orthodontic treatment options mean very little without a competent, qualified staff to deliver them. That’s why we take pride in our professional and courteous staff. Our staff members have multiple certifications, and continue to improve and update their many skills through continuing education throughout the year.

               

               

              Three Convenient Locations

              If you’re worried about being too far away from our office, worry no more! Our Muncie, Anderson, and Hartford City offices allow you to choose the most convenient location for you. It’s just one more way we work hard to take care of our patients.

               

              Retention

              Getting your teeth straight doesn’t mean much if they don’t stay that way! We want you to enjoy your new smile for a lifetime, which is why the cost of a retention system is included with your orthodontic treatment.

               

               

              Sterilization

              We know that being safe and comfortable in our office is your biggest concern, which is why we follow the strictest guidelines for bacterial control and sterilization set by groups such as the CDC and OSHA. We employ disposable tools and materials whenever feasible, and what tools must be re-used are always thoroughly cleaned and sterilized between each patient.

               

              Online Services

              We live in a digital age, which is why our practice offers loads of information at your fingertips through our helpful and entertaining website.

               

               

               

              Our Achievement

              Is YOU! We enjoy providing orthodontic treatment to our patients. We enjoy interacting with you many times each year. We are sad when you graduate to wearing your retainers because we know we will not be seeing you much anymore.

              Orthodontics changes your life. Your face is your first impression. Orthodontics is similar to plastic surgery, but instead is done over time using wires and brackets instead of anesthesia and scalpel. We are excited to see your transformation.

              After treatment our patients experience the satisfaction of having straight teeth along with the confidence of a super smile. At Avila Orthodontics, you’re a VIP!

               

              Convenient Locations

              Comfortable Setting: At our office, you are more than just a patient – you are family! We work together to provide personalized service and an enjoyable orthodontic experience in a comfortable, stress-free environment.
