Meet Dr. Marissa Cooper

Orthodontist in Weston FL | Orthodontics of Weston

I feel blessed every day to do the work I dreamed of as a child. Helping people smile with confidence and building relationships that often feel more like friendships than appointments has been the greatest joy of my career.

My journey began in Waycross, Georgia, where I grew up in my father’s orthodontic practice. My dad, Dr. Marc Cooper, was known for his innovation, compassion, and ethics. Watching him care for patients with such joy inspired me to follow in his footsteps.

My very first "patient" was my Kermit the Frog doll who proudly wore tiny braces I made for him. That spark grew into a lifelong passion for helping families feel proud of their smiles.

Today, I am honored to carry on my father’s legacy as the owner of Orthodontics of Weston. For more than 30 years, I have been privileged to care for families in Weston, Plantation, Pembroke Pines, Cooper City, and Davie with a blend of advanced orthodontic treatment and compassionate care.

My Approach to Orthodontics

To me, orthodontics is not just about moving teeth. It is about building confidence, supporting health, and earning trust. Every patient’s journey is unique, and my approach always focuses on:

• Personalized care designed around each smile and lifestyle
• Honest communication so patients and parents feel informed and comfortable
• Modern treatment options including Invisalign, braces, and early growth guidance
• Encouragement and support that make every step of treatment positive

The most rewarding part of my work is seeing patients transform not just in their smiles, but in the confidence they carry into their daily lives.

Education and Training

I was honored to be accepted into the University of Florida’s prestigious 7-Year Bio-Dental Program, an accelerated track that combines undergraduate and dental studies.

• Undergraduate Degree: University of Florida
• Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD): University of Florida College of Dentistry
• Orthodontic Certificate and Master of Science: Nova Southeastern University

I am passionate about learning and continuously expand my knowledge through study clubs, continuing education, and national conferences. Staying at the forefront of orthodontic research and technology allows me to provide the very best care for my patients.

Professional Memberships

• American Association of Orthodontists (AAO)
• Florida Association of Orthodontists
• South Florida Association of Orthodontists
• American Dental Association (ADA)
• Florida Dental Association

I also founded the Mastermind Study Club, where orthodontists and dentists collaborate to share new ideas, refine treatments, and improve outcomes for patients.

Beyond the Practice

South Florida has been my home since I was 12. I met my husband while studying at the University of Florida, and we have built our life here in Weston. Outside the office, I love cheering on local sports teams, traveling, and discovering new restaurants.

In January 2024, my beloved father, Dr. Marc Cooper, passed away. His values of compassion, integrity, and dedication continue to guide me every day. Every smile we create at Orthodontics of Weston is a reflection of his legacy, and I feel privileged to carry it forward.
