Meet Dr. Christine Brinley
“I became passionate about orthodontics after having braces myself. I saw firsthand how a great smile can have a huge impact on one's self-esteem and open doors to limitless possibilities. I am fascinated by the art and technology involved with orthodontics and love the relationships it allows me to form with my patients throughout the course of treatment. I want having braces to be a great experience for all in my care.”

Meet Dr. Kostelac
“As long as I can remember I have always wanted to be an orthodontist. At the age of 12, I vividly remember how my own orthodontic treatment transformed my smile from something I was embarrassed about, to a smile that gave me great confidence and happiness. In becoming an orthodontist myself, I can now pass along such rewarding experiences to my patients. I value the personal relationship created with each and every patient. I am very passionate about orthodontics and look forward to being part of the team at Brinley Orthodontics.”
