Classic City Orthodontics

Classic City Orthodontics, with locations in Athens, Watkinsville, and Winder, Georgia, is a leading orthodontic practice dedicated to creating healthy, confident smiles for patients of all ages. The clinic is headed by experienced orthodontists Dr. C. Tradd Harter and Dr. Alex Culberson. Dr. Harter, who purchased the practice in 2001, has been creating "classic smiles" since 1999, bringing a passion for art and science to his work. Dr. Culberson, a Georgia native, is dedicated to providing high-quality care and is the only practicing orthodontist in the Athens/Oconee area with a degree from the University of Georgia. Classic City Orthodontics offers a wide array of treatment options, including traditional metal braces, ceramic braces, and advanced clear aligner therapies such as Invisalign® and SureSmile®. They distinguish themselves by being the only orthodontic specialty practice in the Athens and Oconee area to utilize SureSmile® Advanced technology, which uses 3D imaging and robotically bent archwires for precise treatment planning, potentially leading to shorter treatment times and fewer office visits. They also employ the iTero digital scanner for comfortable and accurate digital impressions, replacing traditional messy molds, and have an in-house print lab for fabricating appliances. The clinic also uses iCAT high-definition 3D digital imaging for comprehensive diagnosis and treatment planning, ensuring predictable outcomes. The practice prides itself on providing a personalized patient experience. They offer complimentary initial consultations, which can be done in-office or virtually, to discuss individual needs, provide a detailed treatment plan, and review financial options. The team emphasizes a caring and fun environment, ensuring patients feel welcome and comfortable throughout their orthodontic journey. They are committed to ongoing education to stay abreast of the latest orthodontic techniques and are active members of professional organizations such as the American Association of Orthodontists and the Georgia Dental Association. Classic City Orthodontics prioritizes patient satisfaction, focusing not just on straightening teeth but on building confidence and ensuring long-term oral health and a balanced bite.
