Orthodontics
What are Orthodontics?
Orthodontic treatment is designed to realign and correct the look of your smile. Regardless of your age, it’s never too late to start loving how you look. We customize each patient’s treatment plan so that you receive the care specific to your needs. Our goal is to make orthodontics as affordable and easy for you as possible.
Why would Orthodontic treatment be needed?
There are a couple of problems that come with having crooked or crowded teeth. The first issue is that your self-esteem can be impacted, and you might avoid smiling because of the way that you look. Another big problem is that it might be difficult or even impossible for you to completely clean and floss your teeth. This can lead to areas of tooth decay, gingivitis and even gum disease.
The Dentist & nurse were outstanding as they always are. I highly recommend this place. I’ve been coming to Dr D’s place ever since he opened in Indian Trail and won’t go anywhere else

Who is a good candidate for Orthodontics?
We will examine your teeth to determine if and when you’d benefit the most from orthodontic treatment. There is no right age when it comes to having the work done. For parents, it’s a good idea to bring children in for their first orthodontic consultation around the time they are seven to nine years old. For adults, it’s never too late to start loving how your smile looks.
What happens during Orthodontic treatment?
First and foremost, we will perform an examination, take x-rays and provide you with a consultation. We will discuss orthodontic options available to you so that you can choose what works best for your needs and budget. We will work closely with you when it comes to choosing the system that is right for your smile goals. You can then expect to come in regularly to have adjustments or new aligners made over the course of treatment. Your treatment can take anywhere from just a few months to about two to three years depending on what type of work is needed.
