Welcome to Gaston Orthodontics

Meet your board-certified orthodontists

At Gaston Orthodontics, you’ll be cared for by two highly trained, friendly, and experienced doctors: Dr. Shivani Dave and Dr. Bhaven Sayania. Dr. Dave, also known as Dr. D, discovered her passion for orthodontics during her own braces experience as a teenager. She attended UNC-Chapel Hill for her undergraduate degree, earned her DMD at East Carolina University, and completed a rigorous 3-year orthodontics residency at Columbia University. Dr. Dave is ABO Board-Certified and is dedicated to creating confident smiles with warmth and clarity during every patient consultation.

Dr. Bhaven Sayania, also known as Dr. B, brings his own unique journey and expertise to the practice. He completed his undergraduate studies at Auburn University and earned both his dental degree and orthodontic residency certification from the University of Pennsylvania. Also ABO Board-Certified, Dr. B is known for his excitement in helping patients see their transformed smiles, especially during the big moment when the braces come off. Together, Dr. D and Dr. B provide a personal yet professional approach to orthodontic care that patients of all ages appreciate.
