Atlanta Orthodontic Specialists

Atlanta Orthodontic Specialists is a leading orthodontic practice deeply rooted in the Atlanta community, with a history spanning decades. They operate across several strategically located offices, including Virginia Highlands, Sandy Springs, Buckhead, Howell Mill, and College Park, making their specialized orthodontic care accessible to a wide patient base. The practice is dedicated to providing high-quality, personalized orthodontic solutions for individuals of all ages, from children and teens to adults. At the core of Atlanta Orthodontic Specialists' philosophy is a commitment to leveraging state-of-the-art technology to achieve optimal results and enhance the patient experience. They utilize advanced tools such as iTero Element handheld scanners for precise digital impressions, eliminating the need for traditional, messy molds. Their integration of SureSmile technology allows for highly customized treatment plans, with 3D scanning and intelligent software used to precisely plan tooth movements and robotically bend archwires for exceptional accuracy, often leading to shorter treatment times. They also offer in-house 3D printed aligners in addition to well-known options like Invisalign. The range of services offered by Atlanta Orthodontic Specialists is comprehensive, catering to diverse orthodontic needs and aesthetic preferences. This includes traditional metal braces, known for their effectiveness and affordability, as well as more discreet options like ceramic braces (which blend with natural tooth color) and hidden or lingual braces (placed behind the teeth). For those seeking nearly invisible treatment, they are experienced providers of clear aligners such as Invisalign and SureSmile aligners. Beyond just straightening teeth, they address a wide array of orthodontic issues, including overbites, underbites, crowded teeth, and jaw misalignment. The team at Atlanta Orthodontic Specialists is composed of highly skilled and experienced orthodontists, many of whom are board-certified by the American Board of Orthodontics, a distinction held by a small percentage of orthodontists. Doctors like Michael Stewart, Melisa Rathburn, Tyler Rathburn, and Mariesa L. Moore are part of their dedicated professional staff, committed to continuous learning and staying abreast of the latest advancements in orthodontic care. The support staff is also known for their friendly and professional approach, contributing to a welcoming and comfortable environment for patients. Patient experience is a significant focus, with the practice striving to make every visit stress-free and rewarding. They offer complimentary consultations to discuss treatment goals and provide transparent financial information, including accepting flexible financing options like CareCredit. Their commitment to the community extends beyond clinical care, with some locations actively involved in local events and supporting various organizations and schools, reflecting their dedication to improving the overall well-being of the Atlanta area.
