Services
Invisalign
Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. Ideal for adults and teens, this treatment corrects crowding, gaps, and bite issues without traditional braces. Patients appreciate the comfort and convenience of removable trays, allowing normal eating and oral hygiene routines.
Braces
Modern braces employ advanced bracket systems like Damon self-ligating and LightForce custom braces. These options reduce treatment time and improve comfort compared to older models. They effectively address complex alignment issues and are available in metal or clear ceramic for aesthetic flexibility.
Early Treatment
Early intervention guides jaw growth and corrects bite problems in children. This proactive approach prevents severe issues, creating space for permanent teeth and reducing future extraction needs. Treatment typically begins between ages 7-10 for optimal developmental outcomes.
iTero Element
The iTero Element Scanner creates precise 3D digital impressions without messy molds. This technology enhances diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning while improving patient comfort. It streamlines Invisalign and braces workflows for faster, more efficient care.
Teeth Whitening
Professional-grade at-home whitening kits brighten smiles safely under orthodontic supervision. Custom trays and premium gels ensure even results without damaging enamel. This service complements orthodontic treatment for a complete smile transformation.

I will have my third child starting treatment with Dr. Newell. We love the staff, atmosphere and ease of going here. Everything is always in tip top shape, clean, and we are in and out in a reasonable amount of time. It's been a great experience with Newell Orthodontics.

We have had a great experience at Newell Orthodontics. I went to 3 offices for evaluations and ultimately chose Newell. We have finished one round of braces for one child and starting with our next child pretty soon. Dr. Newell is very down to earth and understood my concerns of having 2 in braces at the same time and even wanting to wait to begin treatment with another child. They have all been great.

Newell Orthodontics was nothing by amazing! I am not from Athens and they were able to fit me in for a problem that needed attention right away. Heather did a great job fixing my retainer and making my pain go away. Such a friendly staff and I would highly recommend them for all your orthodontic needs in Watkinsville/Athens area!
