Orthodontics | Stanley, North Carolina

Orthodontics

Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry specializing in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of jaw, face and bite irregularities (malocclusions*). Orthodontic treatment is provided by an oral health care provider known as an orthodontist, who has completed two to three years of additional training beyond dental school.

Recent years have brought about many changes within the dental industry, specifically with regards to orthodontic treatment and care. Now more than ever patients are experiencing fewer incidences of cavities and missing teeth due to the heightened awareness of fluoride use and preventative dentistry. This increasing awareness on the health and look of a patient’s smile has fueled the desire for many to seek out orthodontia not only as a medical necessity, but for cosmetic reasons as well.

Whether it’s traditional braces or custom made removable appliances, orthodontics can help you have the healthy, straight, beautiful smile you’ve been waiting for!

*Malocclusion is the technical term for teeth that don’t fit together correctly. Malocclusions not only affect the teeth, but also the appearance of the face. Most malocclusions are inherited; however some are due to acquired habits such as thumb sucking and tongue thrusting. The spacing left from an adult tooth being extracted or an early loss of a baby tooth can also contribute to a malocclusion.

Testimonials

"This place is amazing! The best dentist ever! I will forever be grateful to this dentist and his amazing staff. They truly care about each and every patient that walks in their building."

Courtney Rhyne

"This office is the best! Everyone is always so caring and kind. Everytime I come home I always have something good to say because I feel like they actually care about me. They’re up front about costs and work with me on a treatment plan that fits my needs and budget. I used to dread the dentist, but now I actually really like going. I would recommend Dr. Weed and the ladies in this office 1000x over."

Casey Weltner

"The entire staff from the front desk to the patient chair was so kind to me. I hadn’t seen a dentist in years due to lack of insurance and money but they were so understanding and helped me with the entire process. They really had my best interest in mind at all times, even with my bill! Dr Weed is very professional, kindhearted, and funny- he really creates a relaxed environment while they do the work. I’ll be back for all of my dental work from now on even though I live nearly an hour away"
