Services
Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign treatment uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. Ideal for teens and adults seeking aesthetic alternatives to traditional braces, this service corrects misalignment through customized, gradual adjustments. Patients appreciate the convenience of removing aligners for meals and oral hygiene while achieving a confident smile.
Corrective Jaw Surgery
Corrective jaw surgery addresses functional and aesthetic issues caused by skeletal deformities. Performed in collaboration with oral surgeons, this treatment realigns jaws to improve bite function, facial symmetry, and overall oral health. It's recommended for patients with severe bite discrepancies unresponsive to orthodontics alone.
Early Orthodontic Treatment
Early orthodontic treatment targets children aged 8-10 with mixed dentition. This phase creates space for permanent teeth, guides jaw growth, and prevents future complications. By addressing issues early, we reduce the need for extractions and ensure optimal alignment for subsequent comprehensive treatment.
Metal Braces
Metal braces remain a reliable solution for correcting crooked teeth and bite issues. Durable and cost-effective, they use brackets and wires to apply precise pressure for gradual tooth movement. This service suits patients seeking proven results with minimal maintenance concerns.
Emergency Orthodontic Care
Emergency orthodontic care addresses urgent issues like broken wires or loose brackets. Available via dedicated phone lines and online requests, our team provides prompt solutions to alleviate discomfort and maintain treatment progress. Patients receive guidance for temporary fixes until professional repairs can be completed.

Was online and some how ran across this page. So I had to leave a review from my experience with DR Cooper. Because I went to him when I was in my young teens. Now I am 32 years old. But when I went there DR Cooper and his staff was awesome to me. They was always nice and he was always helpful. He did a really good job. Back then I liked to box a lot. When I did wear a mouth piece it wasn't the right one.

So I had broke my braces quiet a few times. And everytime he was so nice about it. By time I got my braces off my teeth looked really good. But unfortunately I wore my retainers 1 time and never wore them again. So I wasted alot of money and time. But that was my fault. Because Dr cooper warned many times about it. But over all Cooper did his part. And he did a good job. So I give him 5 stars from my experience with his office.

I was a patient here at this orthodontist and had my braces on for 5 years. I had activities at school that would force me to miss a few appointments throughout the years but sometimes I didn't want to go to the appointment due to Cooper and some staff members. He was honestly very rude to me and always had some type of attitude when it came to seeing me but no problem with someone else there. The nurses (or whatever they are called lol) were nice and always took good care of me.

I think it was honestly sad that I hated going to orthodontist mainly because of the owner/main doctor. You should welcome all your patients and be nice to them even if they miss appointments etc. I'm happy that I had my braces removed last year, only place that I knew of at the time that did monthly payments for braces. If I could tell my mom back then to go somewhere else, I would have.

Dr. Cooper did an amazing job on my teeth and I am incredibly happy with how they turned out! I would highly recommend him to anyone. Dr. Cooper and his entire staff are always very welcoming and friendly! I feel more confident after having my braces done by Dr. Cooper!

Dr. Cooper and his team are great! I'm always greeted with a smile and seen within a few mins of arriving for my appointment. Dr. Cooper has helped me obtain not only a more aesthetically appealing smile, but a confident one. He was thorough in explaining what treatment would entail, time frame and expectations once complete. He kept me up to date on my progress at regular intervals and provided encouragement the entire time. I would recommend him to anyone looking to get orthodontic treatment!

I've been a patient of Dr. Cooper for over 20 years. I got my braces back in the 9th grade. I had a bad underbite. Dr. Cooper corrected my smile. My teeth have been straight for over 17 years. His staff is very helpful and friendly! They are also fast! I don't have to wait for hours for my appointment. I moved to Atlanta for 4 years and I still came back home to see Dr. Cooper for my retainer check ups. He's the best orthodontist around!

Dr. Cooper is hands down the best orthodontist around! Incredible atmosphere! Incredible team! Pam at the front desk worked so well with my busy Nurse and student schedule! My smile is now more beautiful than ever! I feel so much more confident after just a short 27 months of treatment with my braces!

My experience with Dr. Ford S. Cooper started, May of 2016. I was a little nervous and hesitant to get braces.being that I'm an adult male in my early 30's. Dr. Cooper, always reassured me that I was making the right decision. The staff are very professional, careful and courteous. Few times I broke brackets, which isn't anything out of the norm. They were always quick to book me an appointment ASAP to fix.

I highly recommend not breaking brackets, it disappoints Dr. Cooper. Only because he wants you to get thru your treatment, so you could see results. Overall my experience was great and what little nervousness and fear I had quickly dissipated. I've had my braces for a total of 18 months and get them off in about 2 weeks. So far, the results look great!
