Why Cibolo Families Choose Embrace Orthodontics
What makes Embrace different? A board-certified orthodontist, a 5.0-star Google rating earned across more than 1,000 patient reviews, Gold Invisalign® Provider experience, and surgical orthodontics capability, all in one family-owned Cibolo practice.
Our goal is simple: beautiful, healthy smiles our patients value for a lifetime. Here’s what that commitment looks like in practice, and why more than a thousand five-star reviewers have put it in writing.
The Track Record: 5.0 Stars, 1,000+ Reviews
Before you trust anyone with your family’s smiles, check the receipts. Embrace Orthodontics holds a perfect 5.0-star Google rating across more than 1,000 reviews, the strongest specialist reputation in our area, built one patient at a time since 2004. We don’t ask you to take our word for anything; read what patients say.
A Board Certified Specialist, Every Visit
Dr. Kalakech is a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics, a voluntary credential only about half of orthodontists earn, and orthodontics is all we do. Her attention to detail, warmth and contagious enthusiasm are the first things patients mention; her specialist training is what those patients’ results are built on. Because we’re family-owned and operated, you see Dr. K at every visit, never a rotating cast.
Every Modern Option Under One Roof
- Leading-edge care with traditional and clear ceramic braces, Invisalign and Invisalign Teen as a Gold Invisalign Provider
- Surgical orthodontics for complex jaw cases most area practices refer away
- Early treatment and free growth monitoring for kids from age 7
- The iTero® digital scanner instead of messy impressions, at every records visit
Care That Respects Your Family

What Patients Say
The reviews tell our story better than we can. A few, straight from the source:
“Deciding to start the process of orthodontics as an adult was not an easy decision to make. From the consultation through the entire process I knew I made the right decision.” - Laura H.
“Dr. Kalakech is the best hands down!! She is very caring, listens to you and is very particular. Myself, my sister and my mother have all trusted Dr. Kalakech.” - Aleck H.

What Your First Visit Looks Like
Choosing an orthodontist shouldn’t require a leap of faith, so we’ve made the first step free and pressure-free. You’ll get a personal exam from Dr. K, a digital scan with no goopy impressions, honest answers about whether treatment is even needed yet, and, if it is, your full plan and exact investment in writing. Kids who aren’t ready simply join our no-cost monitoring program until the timing is right. See what to expect at your first visit.
One Doctor, First Visit to Final Retainer
Orthodontic treatment is a years-long relationship, and at many offices you’ll meet a different provider at every stage of it. Not here. Dr. K performs your exam, designs your plan, checks every adjustment and signs off on your finished smile personally. That continuity shows up in the details: she remembers which molar was stubborn in March, which teen needs the elastics pep-talk, and which parent prefers straight talk over sugar-coating. It’s also why our patients’ results are consistent enough to sustain a perfect rating at four-figure review volume. One doctor, one standard, every visit.
