Services
Braces for all ages
Traditional metal braces provide effective tooth alignment for children, teens, and adults. Our customized systems use advanced bracket technology to reduce treatment time while maintaining comfort. Regular adjustments ensure steady progress toward optimal bite alignment and aesthetic improvement.
Invisalign treatment
Invisalign clear aligners offer a discreet alternative to traditional braces using 3D imaging technology. Removable trays allow normal eating and oral hygiene while gradually shifting teeth into proper position over 9-15 months on average.
iTero Element scanning
iTero Element intraoral scanners create precise 3D digital impressions without messy molds. This technology enables better treatment planning visualization and immediate virtual previews of expected smile transformations for informed decision-making.
Forsus functional appliance
Forsus appliances address Class II malocclusions by promoting proper jaw development in growing patients. This fixed device works continuously to correct bite relationships while maintaining patient comfort throughout the orthodontic process.
Orthodontic retention
Custom retention solutions maintain teeth alignment post-treatment using both fixed and removable appliances. Our lifetime retainer club ensures long-term stability of treatment results through regular monitoring and replacement as needed.

I will be cancelling my appointment tomorrow. For those who have delta dental PPO, do not come here for treatment as they're out of network and will waste your time I found that out the hard way and am disappointed. No one from the office informed me that you don't accept my insurance. I don't know why no one told me ahead of time I was referred here by my dentists office. Someone dropped the ball here I called my insurance provider today and found out that this office isn't covered I scheduled this appointment weeks in advance only to be let down that not even my consultation tomorrow will be covered I have been trying to get braces since I was a teen, but have had nothing but insurance problems as I had to be on Medicaid growing up.
Now as an adult I still cannot find a reputable provider who will accept my insurance. This is incredibly frustrating So I continue to not be able to get proper orthodontic treatment. The only reason for the 2 stars is the front office staff is ok

Dr. Ford and his entire staff are amazing! They are all incredibly friendly, patient, knowledgeable, and provided excellent service. They took the time to explain everything in great detail and ensured we understood the process. The office is clean, and they have state of the art equipment. I highly recommend Pine Top Orthodontics!

I came to Pine Top after having a bad experience with Invisalign. They were honest with me and told me what my best options were to fix my issues and they took time to explain what my treatment plan would look like, what changes I'd expect to see, etc. I'm about 6 months in now and couldn't be more happy. Everyone who's treated or greeted me has been incredibly kind, friendly, and professional and I'm seeing really great results. I saw my referring dentist today as well and he was very pleased with the state of my teeth. I highly recommend Pine Top Ortho.

I took my two boys in today to be seen for the first time. Every staff member was incredibly kind and professional. Dr Ford was very personable and took great care of my boys. And the price was great! I would give more stars if possible. Highly recommend.
