Meet Dr. Claire Liles

As an orthodontist, I am passionate about educating my patients and helping them achieve not only beautiful smiles but functional ones. One of my favorite moments is meeting a patient for the first time, envisioning their future smile, and then witnessing that vision come to life the day their braces come off. It’s an incredible journey that I feel honored to share with each of my patients.

Through my educational journey, I have found the most rewarding profession in orthodontics. I feel I have a unique perspective that allows me to promote not only oral health but also individuals’ overall health. I believe creating beautiful functional smiles instills a sense of pride and confidence in patients that is truly a gratifying process to take part in.

Family Life

At home, I cherish time with my fiancé, Alex, and our children—identical twins Cadence and Lilah, and our baby, Maddux. Our family wouldn’t be complete without our pets: Gilbert (cat) and our two dogs, Wilfred and Xavier, all named after professional tennis players—a nod to the sport that brought Alex and me together in college.

When I’m not at work, I enjoy baking, playing and watching tennis, and taking walks with my kids or our dogs. Family time is my greatest joy, and I’m so thankful for the opportunity to create smiles for others while living life with the people (and pets!) I love most.
