Orthodontics
Braces and aligner specialists for children, teens, and adults.
What does an orthodontist do?
Orthodontists are dentists with additional specialty training in aligning teeth and jaws. They treat crowding, spacing, bite problems, and jaw alignment using braces, clear aligners, and related appliances, for children and teens as well as the growing number of adults who start treatment later.
Your general dentist is usually the starting point: they spot developing alignment issues at routine visits and refer to an orthodontist for evaluation. Treatment timing is individual, and an orthodontist will tell you honestly whether now, later, or never is the right time to start.
Choosing an orthodontist in a military town
Orthodontic treatment runs on months and years, which makes it one of the trickier kinds of care for military families who move. Around Fort Bragg it's worth asking up front how a practice handles a transfer of care mid-treatment, what happens to payment plans if you PCS, and whether records move cleanly to a new orthodontist. These are fair questions to ask before committing to months or years of treatment.
The usual practical checks apply too: credentials, whether your dental coverage applies and what it covers (dental plans are separate from medical insurance, and orthodontic benefits vary a lot), and consultation availability. ProviderQuoHealth shows credentials and contact details so you can compare before you call.

Frequently asked
When should a child first see an orthodontist?
Timing is individual. Your child's dentist watches alignment at routine visits and will suggest an orthodontic evaluation when there's something worth assessing. Early evaluation doesn't always mean early treatment; often it just sets a monitoring plan.
Is orthodontic treatment only for kids?
No. Adults are a large and growing share of orthodontic patients, using both braces and clear aligners. An orthodontist will discuss which options fit your bite, goals, and budget at a consultation.
What should military families ask before starting treatment?
Ask how the practice handles transfers of care if you move mid-treatment, how payment plans are settled at a transfer, and how records are shared with the next orthodontist. Also confirm what your dental plan covers, since orthodontic benefits vary widely.
