Dr. Cristina Bistriceanu is a forward-thinking orthodontist who believes that a healthy smile begins with healthy growth, proper breathing, and a well-functioning airway. Her approach goes beyond straightening teeth, focusing on the relationship between facial development, jaw structure, sleep quality, and long-term wellness.

Known for her thoughtful and patient-centered philosophy, Dr. Bistriceanu takes time to educate patients and families about the connection between breathing, airway health, sleep, and orthodontic development. By combining modern technology with a biologically driven approach, she creates customized treatment plans designed to support facial harmony, functional balance, and lifelong stability.

Passionate about continuing education, Dr. Bistriceanu has completed advanced training in airway-focused orthodontics, including the Airway Health Solutions University (AHS University) Pediatric Mini-Residency with Dr. Ben Miraglia. She is also recognized as an Invisalign Diamond Provider, reflecting her extensive experience in clear aligner therapy.

At Wrigleyville Dental, Dr. Bistriceanu works collaboratively with patients, families, and healthcare providers to ensure orthodontic treatment supports not only a beautiful smile, but overall health and wellness.

Outside the office, she enjoys traveling, spending time with her family, and remaining actively involved in her community.
