About Us

Heart In Every Smile

At Heart Orthodontics, our mission is to put heart into every smile. We believe exceptional care begins with kindness, clear communication, and a genuine commitment to making every patient feel comfortable, understood, and supported.

Every smile we create reflects our dedication to quality, integrity, and the community we proudly serve. Here, you’re more than a patient, you’re part of our Heart Orthodontics family.

Dr. Yang Li

Approach

Dr. Li believes every smile deserves thoughtful, personalized care. She takes the time to understand each patient’s needs and goals, designing treatment plans that are comfortable, effective, and built for long‑term success. Whether using traditional braces or advanced aesthetic options like clear aligners (e.g. Invisalign, Clarity Aligners) she is committed to providing an experience that feels supportive, positive, and truly exceptional.

Credentials

Dr. Yang Li brings a depth of training and expertise to her practice. She earned her D.M.D. from McGill University, graduating at the top of her class, and went on to complete an advanced general dentistry residency in San Francisco. She then pursued her orthodontic specialty at Boston University, where she received both her C.A.G.S. in orthodontics and maxillofacial orthopedics and her Master of Science in Dentistry.

Recognized for her clinical skill and commitment to education, Dr. Li was invited to join the faculty at Boston University as a part‑time clinical instructor. She is also a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics and a Fellow of the Royal College of Dentists of Canada—credentials that reflect her dedication to excellence and lifelong learning in her field.

Personal

Outside the office, Dr. Li enjoys a full, joyful life with her husband, David, their kids, and a close circle of family and friends. A devoted foodie, she loves exploring new restaurants, experimenting in the kitchen, and baking treats; she’s always happy to swap recipes with fellow food lovers!

When she’s not cooking up something delicious, you might find her crafting or doodling with her kids, getting delightfully competitive over a board game with her husband, taking in a play or concert, or unwinding with a twisty mystery novel. She also has a soft spot for a good puzzle book, especially when she’s in the mood to give her brain a fun little workout.

Community Matters

At Heart Orthodontics, giving back to the community is a core part of who we are. We’re honored to support the people, programs, and traditions that make this area so special. From serving as the Title Sponsor for Kicks for Cancer, to cheering on the Concord‑Carlisle High School Boys Basketball Team as a Gold Sponsor, to supporting the Thoreau Road Race and Concord Musical Parents, we’re grateful for every opportunity to uplift the students, athletes, families, and neighbors around us. Being able to contribute, even in small ways, is one of the most meaningful parts of our work. If you’re involved in a local organization or initiative, we’d truly love to hear how we can support you and continue strengthening the community we call home.
