Meet Dr. Adriana Da Silveira, DDS, MS, PhD
Orthodontist • Invisalign Speaker • Surgical & Special Needs Expert • Community-Focused Mom
Hi, I’m Dr. Adriana Da Silveira—and I believe in treating every patient with the same care and respect I’d give my own family. With over 25 years of experience, I’ve dedicated my career to delivering gentle, high-tech orthodontic care for children, teens, and adults—including those with special needs, craniofacial differences, and complex surgical cases.
I proudly serve as Chief of Orthodontics at Dell Children’s Medical Center, where I’ve led the craniofacial and airway team for the past 18 years. I work closely with pediatric specialists, ENTs, and oral surgeons to provide coordinated care—and I know exactly which trusted local providers to refer to when a case calls for collaboration.
As an official Invisalign faculty member and speaker, I train orthodontists nationwide and have lectured at both the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) annual meetings and Invisalign Summits in Las Vegas. I’m passionate about integrating the latest technology into orthodontic care, including clear aligners, 3D imaging, and digital treatment planning.
I’m also the author of numerous peer-reviewed scientific articles and a former professor at the prestigious University of Illinois at Chicago Graduate Orthodontics Program.
I live right here in Bee Cave, where our office sits right on the border between Eanes ISD and Lake Travis ISD. My own kids graduated from Eanes and are now in college—but don’t worry, we love treating families from both school districts, even when the rivalry heats up during football season!
As we expand into our new Round Rock location, I’m excited to connect with new families—especially the vibrant and growing Brazilian community in the area. I speak Portuguese and Spanish fluently and am committed to making every patient feel welcome and at home in our care.
