About This Provider
Dr. Jennifer Buchanan, DDS, MS, has served the McKinney, TX community as a dedicated orthodontic specialist for 28 years, founding Buchanan Orthodontics in 1996. She earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery and Master of Science in Orthodontics from Baylor College of Dentistry and holds Diplomate certification from the American Board of Orofacial Pain. Named Best Orthodontist in McKinney, TX, Dr. Buchanan builds every treatment plan around one principle: achieve the best result using the least invasive path. She routinely corrects bites and aligns smiles without expanders, headgear, or permanent tooth extractions by combining the Damon System, Insignia fully customized brackets, and I-CAT 3-D imaging. Dr. Buchanan also evaluates every patient's airway as a standard diagnostic step, identifying signs of restricted breathing, sleep apnea, and teeth grinding that most orthodontic offices do not assess. She treats patients from age 7 through their 70s and has awarded orthodontic scholarships to qualifying patients since 1998. She founded Smiles Charity to raise funds for homes for wounded veterans. Her 28 years of single-specialty focus and her commitment to minimally invasive, airway-aware orthodontics make her one of the most respected orthodontists in the greater McKinney area.
