Dr. Gorantla’s passion for orthodontics started when he was in dental school and followed his cousin, who was in his orthodontic residency. He saw firsthand what orthodontics can do to put smiles on the faces of young kids, and has made it his life goal to make a difference in kids’ lives. He really enjoys interacting with patients and families. He loves his team and enjoys coming to work. Dr. Gorantla and the team at Smiles Ortho work very hard and are fun, welcoming and very easy to talk to.
