Dr. Bibi Tejera Summey
“As a Cuban American who grew up in Fort Myers, returning to the Gulf Coast feels like coming home. There’s nothing more rewarding than creating beautiful, confident smiles for families in the community where I was raised. Every smile transformation reminds me why I chose orthodontics – it’s the perfect blend of artistic vision, cutting-edge technology, and meaningful personal connections with patients.” – Dr. Beatriz “Bibi” Tejera Summey
