Meet your Orthodontist: Karla Alvarado, DMD, MSD
Dr. Alvarado decided to become an orthodontist after she experienced the life-changing effects of orthodontics as a child.
“Having braces as an adolescent had a huge impact on my self esteem.”
-Dr. Alvarado
Dr. Karla Alvarado is originally from San Juan, Puerto Rico. She has grown up and lived on the east coast and has now made Plymouth, MA her home.
“As a child and adult I had the chance to visit Plymouth and the cape many times and each time fell more in love with it until I decided to come back… permanently!”
-Dr. Alvarado
Dr. Alvarado attended college in Orlando, Florida at the University of Central Florida where she received a Bachelor’s degree in Biology. Later, she decided to move back to her hometown of San Juan, Puerto Rico where she attended the University of Puerto Rico School of Dental Medicine and received her DMD. Before diving into orthodontics she received two years of additional training in general dentistry at Montefiore Medical Center in New York. Afterwards, she returned to the University of Puerto Rico to specialize in orthodontics where she received her Certificate in Orthodontics, as well as a Masters of Science in Dentistry after three years of specialized graduate training.
Upon graduating, she worked as an associate in two different states until finally deciding to start her own practice in Plymouth, MA.
Dr. Alvarado enjoys spending time with her husband, Dr. Jayson Rivera (also a dentist!) and their dog Lexie.
