Meet the Orthodontists Behind Bee Cave Orthodontics: How Dr. Adriana Da Silveira and Dr. Anna Auladell Are Redefining Personalized Orthodontic Care in Austin

What makes an exceptional orthodontist? Is it education, experience, research, advanced technology, or the ability to understand each patient’s individual needs? At Bee Cave Orthodontics, it’s the combination of all five.

Choosing an orthodontist is an important decision. Whether you’re a parent looking for treatment for your child, a teenager considering braces, or an adult interested in Invisalign or a healthier smile, the experience and expertise of your orthodontist matter.

At Bee Cave Orthodontics, serving Bee Cave, Austin, Lakeway, Westlake, and Round Rock, Texas, patients benefit from the combined knowledge and distinctive backgrounds of two orthodontists: Dr. Adriana Da Silveira, DDS, MS, PhD, and Dr. Anna Auladell, DDS.

Their professional journeys span Brazil, Spain, and the United States, bringing together advanced academic training, published scientific research, specialized clinical experience, and a shared commitment to personalized orthodontic care.

But what makes their backgrounds particularly valuable to patients today?

Dr. Adriana Da Silveira: More Than 25 Years of Orthodontic Experience, Research, and Leadership

Dr. Adriana Da Silveira has dedicated more than 25 years to helping children, teenagers, and adults achieve healthy, confident smiles. Her professional background extends well beyond traditional orthodontics, combining advanced clinical training, academic research, university teaching, and leadership in complex medical cases.

Originally from Brazil, Dr. Da Silveira earned dental degrees from Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro and the University of Illinois at Chicago. She continued her education at the University of Florida, where she earned both a Master of Science and a PhD in Oral Biology. She also completed her Certificate in Orthodontics at the Eastman Dental Center at the University of Rochester.

This combination of dental, scientific, and specialized orthodontic education provides a strong foundation for understanding not only how teeth move, but also how the jaws, facial structures, and bite work together.

A National Leader in Complex Orthodontic and Craniofacial Care

One of Dr. Da Silveira’s most significant professional accomplishments is serving as Chief of Orthodontics at Dell Children’s Medical Center in Austin.

For the past 18 years, she has led the craniofacial and airway team, working alongside pediatric specialists, ear, nose, and throat physicians, and oral surgeons to coordinate treatment for patients with complex needs.

Her experience includes treating patients with:

Cleft lip and cleft palate.

Craniofacial differences and syndromes.

Complex jaw and bite problems.

Orthodontic cases requiring surgical collaboration.

Sleep apnea and airway-related concerns.

Special healthcare needs.

This experience is particularly important because not every orthodontic case is straightforward. Some patients require a more comprehensive understanding of facial development, jaw positioning, airway considerations, and coordination with other medical professionals.

For families facing complex orthodontic decisions, having an orthodontist with this level of specialized experience can make a meaningful difference in treatment planning and coordination of care.

An Invisalign Faculty Member Who Educates Other Orthodontists

Dr. Da Silveira is also an official Invisalign faculty member and speaker. She trains orthodontists nationwide and has lectured at American Association of Orthodontists annual meetings and Invisalign Summits.

Her involvement in professional education reflects an ongoing commitment to advancing orthodontic knowledge and sharing clinical experience with other professionals.

She incorporates modern treatment technologies, including Invisalign clear aligners, 3D imaging, and digital treatment planning, into her approach to patient care.

For patients considering Invisalign, this combination of clinical experience and professional education offers an additional perspective when evaluating treatment options.

A Published Researcher and Former University Professor

Dr. Da Silveira’s academic accomplishments include authoring numerous peer-reviewed scientific articles involving orthodontics, craniofacial development, and clear aligner therapy.

She also served as a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago Graduate Orthodontics Program, teaching the next generation of orthodontists.

Her background in research and education helps connect scientific knowledge with everyday clinical decisions.

Why this matters to patients: Orthodontics continues to evolve. New materials, digital technologies, clear aligners, and customized treatment systems create more possibilities than ever. An orthodontist who combines decades of experience with research, teaching, and continuing professional education brings a valuable perspective to these decisions.

A Local Orthodontist With International Perspective

Although Dr. Da Silveira’s education and professional accomplishments have taken her across the country and internationally, Bee Cave is home.

She lives in the community and has a personal connection to local families, including the Eanes and Lake Travis school communities.

Originally from Brazil, she speaks Portuguese and Spanish fluently, helping make orthodontic care more accessible to Austin’s diverse communities, including the growing Brazilian population in Round Rock.

Her philosophy is straightforward: every patient deserves the same care, attention, and respect she would give her own family.

Dr. Anna Auladell: Bringing Spanish Orthodontic Training, Research, and a Personal Touch to Austin

Dr. Anna Auladell brings a different but equally valuable perspective to Bee Cave Orthodontics.

Originally from Barcelona, Spain, Dr. Auladell completed her dental and orthodontic training before moving to the United States, where she completed a three-year orthodontic residency program in Georgia.

Her educational journey across two countries gives her a distinctive perspective on orthodontics, professional development, and patient care.

An International Education and Commitment to Advancing Orthodontics

Dr. Auladell’s background combines European dental education with specialized orthodontic residency training in the United States.

She also has a strong interest in scientific research and has published work involving orthodontics.

Her interest in research reflects an important part of her professional philosophy: orthodontics is an evolving field, and staying informed about new knowledge and techniques is essential to providing thoughtful, contemporary care.

For patients, this commitment to learning means having an orthodontist who values both the science behind treatment and the individual experience of each person sitting in the chair.

A Spanish-Speaking Orthodontist Who Understands the Importance of Connection

One of Dr. Auladell’s distinctive strengths is her ability to connect with patients through shared language and cultural understanding.

Having grown up in Barcelona, she brings a personal connection to Spanish-speaking families in the Austin and Round Rock communities.

Receiving orthodontic treatment can raise many questions, particularly for children and parents navigating treatment for the first time. Being able to communicate comfortably in Spanish can help families better understand their options, discuss concerns, and feel more confident throughout the process.

But language is only part of her approach.

Dr. Auladell believes in creating an environment where patients feel comfortable, heard, and cared for throughout their orthodontic journey.

Her warm personality and personal approach help make the experience about more than just braces or aligners. It’s about building relationships and helping people feel confident in their smiles.

A Modern Perspective on Family and Patient-Centered Orthodontics

Dr. Auladell is a wife and mother who understands the importance of balancing family, activities, and everyday life.

Outside the office, she enjoys running, playing tennis, and spending time outdoors with her family.

She is excited to call Austin home and to be part of a community that values family, an active lifestyle, and connection.

For patients and parents, her approachable personality and international background add another dimension to the Bee Cave Orthodontics experience.

Why Having Both Doctors Matters: Two Distinct Backgrounds, One Commitment to Better Smiles

What makes Bee Cave Orthodontics particularly distinctive is the combination of professional perspectives its doctors bring to the practice.

Dr. Da Silveira’s background includes more than 25 years of experience, a PhD in Oral Biology, university teaching, published research, national Invisalign education, and leadership in complex craniofacial and surgical orthodontics.

Dr. Auladell brings dental and orthodontic education from Spain and the United States, published research, and a strong emphasis on patient relationships and Spanish-language communication.

Together, these backgrounds offer patients a practice that values several important aspects of modern orthodontics:

1. Experience and clinical judgment

Orthodontic treatment requires more than moving teeth. It involves evaluating facial development, bite relationships, jaw positioning, and long-term stability.

2. Research and continuing education

Both doctors value scientific knowledge and ongoing learning, helping connect contemporary orthodontic developments with individualized treatment planning.

3. Advanced technology

From Invisalign and digital treatment planning to 3D imaging and modern braces, Bee Cave Orthodontics embraces technology as a tool for improving the patient experience.

4. Understanding complex cases

Dr. Da Silveira’s craniofacial and surgical orthodontic experience provides specialized knowledge for patients whose needs extend beyond routine orthodontic treatment.

5. Personalized and culturally aware care

Patients deserve to feel understood. The doctors’ international backgrounds and language abilities help create a welcoming environment for families from different cultures and backgrounds.

What Types of Orthodontic Treatment Are Available at Bee Cave Orthodontics?

Bee Cave Orthodontics provides orthodontic treatment for children, teenagers, and adults, with treatment recommendations based on each patient’s individual needs.

Options include:

Traditional metal braces.

Ceramic and clear braces.

Customized LightForce 3D-printed braces.

Invisalign clear aligners.

Not every treatment is appropriate for every patient. An orthodontic evaluation helps determine which approach is best for your teeth, bite, age, and treatment goals.
