Services
Braces
Traditional metal or clear braces use advanced bracket technology to straighten teeth efficiently. Our Damon Braces system reduces plaque buildup and appointment frequency while ensuring comfort and discretion for patients of all ages.
Invisalign
Invisalign and Spark Aligners offer a nearly invisible, removable solution for straightening teeth. These custom-fit trays provide discreet treatment for teens and adults seeking aesthetic alternatives to traditional braces without compromising daily activities.
Early Treatment
Early orthodontic intervention for children aged 7+ addresses developmental issues like bite alignment and jaw growth. Timely treatment prevents complex problems later, ensuring optimal oral health and reducing future treatment duration.
Damon Braces
Damon Braces use a slide mechanism to hold wires securely without elastic ties, improving hygiene and comfort. Smaller brackets and reduced friction enhance treatment efficiency, making them ideal for patients seeking discreet, effective care.
Laser Gingivectomy
Laser gingivectomy precisely removes excess gum tissue to improve smile aesthetics and oral health. This minimally invasive procedure addresses gummy smiles or uneven gum lines, promoting healthier, more balanced results.

The staff at Sandhills Orthodontics is consistently professional and courteous. They do their best to make parents and children comfortable with the process, and are willing to work around your schedule.

I have been taking my daughters to Sandhills Orthodontics for two years, and they have loved them so much that I have also decided to become a patient myself. Everyone is always friendly and attentive. They have affordable payment plans and lay everything out for you so there are no surprises. They also have a rewards system that allows kids to earn points for various tasks (wearing their shirt to their appointment, coming to their siblings appointment, and good grades to name a few) that they can redeem for gift cards once they build them up. We love the staff here, and I will be bringing my younger children back when it's their time to get braces.

The staff here at Sandhills ortho is great. Harry treated my son today and made him super comfortable. He is terrified of the dentist. The staff is always so friendly and welcoming and they always go above and beyond for us. We love Sandhills orthodontics and our other 4 babies will be coming here for their braces needs.
