About

Dr. Kurtis Lightheart practices Orthodontics in El Paso, TX.

As an orthodontist, Dr. Lightheart must recognize various characteristics of a malocclusion or dentofacial deformity, define the nature of the problem, including the etiology if possible, and design a treatment strategy based on the specific needs and desires of the patient.
