Join us in welcoming Dr Aura to our Squad!!! 😃
Dr. Aura Manfio is a board-certified orthodontist and Fellow of the Royal College of Dentists of Canada. She is dedicated to helping patients of all ages achieve healthy, confident smiles through individualized care. She finds it especially rewarding to see how an improved smile and bite can positively influence a patient’s confidence and quality of life.
Originally from Brazil, Dr. Aura completed her dental degree, specialty training, and Master of Science in Orthodontics there before moving to Canada, where she completed a fellowship in Craniofacial Anomalies at The Hospital for Sick Children. She has since pursued advanced training in orthodontics at the University of British Columbia and continuing education in Dental Sleep Medicine at Tufts University.
Dr. Aura believes that exceptional care begins with listening. She takes the time to understand each patient’s individual needs so that children, parents, and adults alike feel comfortable, informed, and actively involved throughout treatment. Having trained and practised in both Brazil and Canada, she brings a deep appreciation for cultural diversity to her work. She is fluent in Portuguese and Spanish and also speaks some Italian.
Her clinical interests include early orthodontic intervention, facial growth and development, three-dimensional treatment planning, palatal expansion, and temporary anchorage devices, using both braces and clear aligners tailored to each patient’s needs.
Outside the clinic, Dr. Aura likes to stay active, travel, and spend time with family and friends. She enjoys playing tennis, riding horses, walking in nature and attending concerts.
Dr. Aura is delighted to be part of the Smile Squad team and looks forward to welcoming you and your family throughout your orthodontic journey toward your best smile!
