Dr. Patricia Panucci is an orthodontist with over 20 years of experience helping patients of all ages achieve healthy, beautiful smiles in Manhattan Beach. She specializes in early intervention, Invisalign treatment, and airway-focused orthodontics—meaning she focuses on improving not just how your teeth look, but how well you can breathe and your overall quality of life. Dr. Panucci uses advanced 3D imaging technology to show you exactly what your smile will look like before treatment even begins. Her passion for orthodontics started in childhood (she's never had a cavity!) and she volunteers her skills to help children from low-income families access the care they need. She's accepting new patients and believes in creating a fun, welcoming environment where treatment feels like a positive experience.
