Dr. Liseane Koga, D.D.S./M.S.

Owner & Operator

Dr. Liseane Koga and her husband are originally from Brazil. Tiago, her husband, is an engineer who completed his master and post-graduation at MIT. In an unexpected turn of events, in 2013, my husband was offered a position to work for Whirlpool Corporation in USA, Michigan. Despite the challenges and sacrifices of this bold move, we saw it as a great opportunity to grow individually and professionally. They lived in Michigan for 9 years, before deciding to move to the Southern United States (away from the intense and long Michigan winter).

Dr. Koga graduated from dental school back in Brazil, finishing her first orthodontics residency in 2007. To further enhance her knowledge in orthodontics, she earned a one year fellowship in Orthodontics and Oral Facial Genetics at Indiana University.

Due to her outstanding skills and commitment to the patients, Dr. Koga got accepted to take her second Orthodontic Residency and Master of Science degree at the same school. In 2019, she received the title of Orthodontist with Certification in Orthodontics and Master of Science in the United States.

After her graduation, she worked as an Associate Orthodontist in Michigan and Indiana, where she began working with Damon braces. Dr. Koga always have interest in studying the causes of malpositioned teeth, the relation of the malocclusion with constricted airways, the necessity of early intervention to avoid future teeth extractions or surgical procedures, and eventual multidisciplinary approach needed to re-establish healthy and well-balanced occlusion. Her thoughts on this subject have appeared in a published paper in an international journal.

Dr. Lis has been passionate about beautiful smiles since she was a teenager, and she has always been amazed how beautiful smiles can have a positive and lasting effect on someone’s life.

When she is not working, she likes to spend time with her husband and her dog. They love traveling all over the world, visiting different places, talking to people and being in touch with different cultures. Dr. Lis began backpacking South America when she was 15 year old, and her enthusiasm for visiting new places has never stopped. She and her husband also enjoy trying new restaurants—it’s their special thing.

She is excited to be part of this sweet and very welcoming community as she continues delivering beautiful smiles with up-to-date orthodontic knowledge.
