Detailed Introduction
Cordray Orthodontics is a well-established orthodontic practice based in Columbus, Ohio, with additional office locations in Powell/Worthington and Grove City. The clinic is led by Dr. Frank E. Cordray, a Board Certified Orthodontic Specialist, who holds a D.D.S. and M.S. and is recognized for his expertise, including being a recipient of the Distinguished Service Award from the Dawson Center for the Advancement of Dentistry.
The practice distinguishes itself through a patient-centric approach that emphasizes both cosmetic results and functional health. Their philosophy, "The Cordray Difference," prioritizes "Cosmetics First," aiming to create "Truly Beautiful, Radiant Smiles" that enhance self-esteem and confidence. This goes beyond mere tooth alignment to meticulously consider the shape and position of each tooth in relation to the entire face. "Health Second" focuses on improving dental health through proper bite alignment, which contributes to better function, easier cleaning, and increased longevity of teeth. They utilize advanced diagnostic tools to ensure informed decisions about treatment. Finally, "Stability Third" highlights their commitment to long-term results, often utilizing invisible bonded retainers to prevent teeth from shifting over time, protecting the patient's investment in their smile.
Cordray Orthodontics provides a wide range of orthodontic services for patients of all ages, from children as young as three to adults up to 87 years old. A significant portion of their patient base, over 40%, consists of adults seeking orthodontic treatment for various reasons, including improving smiles, correcting bite issues, or preparing for restorative treatments. Services offered include traditional metal braces, ceramic braces (less noticeable than metal), and Invisalign/aligner treatment. They also utilize space maintainers for children with premature tooth loss.
The clinic prides itself on achieving some of the shortest treatment times in the field, with Dr. Cordray meeting with each patient at every visit to ensure efficient progress. They also offer a "Pre-Orthodontics Guidance Program" to time treatment effectively for children, aiming to reduce the overall time in braces. Cordray Orthodontics is committed to providing a comfortable and welcoming environment and offers various affordable payment options, including monthly installments and CareCredit, to make orthodontic care accessible. While they assist with insurance claims, patients are responsible for the full fee, with insurance reimbursements directly to the patient.
