We are a doctor-owned practice led by Dr. Rodrigo Viecilli, a board-certified orthodontist and biomechanics expert.

Meet Dr. Rodrigo Viecilli, DDS, PhD
A doctor-owned boutique practice that has not sold out to a corporate chain. Dr. Viecilli brings research-level diagnostics, 25+ years of experience (since 2000), two orthodontic residencies (USA and Brazil), and 5,000+ treated cases to every treatment plan.
Meet Dr. Rodrigo Viecilli, DDS, PhD
At many orthodontic practices, a treatment coordinator presents your “plan” and you only briefly speak with the actual orthodontist. At Limestone Hills, Dr. Viecilli performs your intra-oral exam, reviews every scan, presents every treatment option, and answers every question himself. With over 5,000 patients treated and 25+ years in orthodontics, your care is backed by research-level expertise that most practices simply cannot offer.
What Our Clients Are Saying

$50,000+ Invested in NW Austin — Every Year
Limestone Hills invests more than $50,000 annually across 39 sponsorships and community partnerships — local schools, youth sports teams, charitable organizations, and community events throughout Northwest Austin. This isn’t a marketing line — it’s a measurable, year-over-year commitment.
Dr. Viecilli and the team actively participate across the River Place, Steiner Ranch, Four Points, and greater NW Austin area — from free dental screenings at elementary schools to sponsoring youth athletic leagues to supporting local charities.
SmartArch™ Wire Technology
Conceptualized and designed by Dr. Viecilli in collaboration with Dr. Charles Burstone — the most cited orthodontic biomechanics scientist in history (H- index: 49) — and manufactured by Ormco.
SmartArch™ applies calibrated, continuous forces to each tooth using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) modeling — the same engineering used in aerospace and structural design. The result: up to up to 40% faster braces treatment compared to conventional wire systems.
Limestone Hills is the only practice in Austin where patients are treated by the inventor of this technology. SmartArch™ is provided to all braces patients at no additional charge.
