Dr. Mei-Lin Tanabe joined Brazos Street Dental in 2019. She sees many of the practice's children and teenagers, from the time a child's first tooth comes in through their school years.
She also provides clear aligner treatment for adults and teenagers whose teeth and bite suit it. If a case looks too complex for general dentistry, she explains why and refers the patient to an orthodontist, who is a specialist.
Dr. Tanabe is a general dentist, not a pediatric dentist or an orthodontist. Outside the practice she plays in a Sunday-evening soccer league and reads a lot of crime fiction.
