Cureton Orthodontics

Cureton Orthodontics is a well-established orthodontic clinic located in Kingsport, TN, at 2753 E Center St. The practice was founded in 2001 by Dr. Steven Cureton and later, in 2012, his son, Dr. Scott Cureton, joined the practice after completing his orthodontic residency and becoming Board Certified by the American Board of Orthodontics. Dr. Steven Cureton, with 20 years of experience from the US Army, passed on his extensive knowledge to his son, who now continues the tradition of excellent treatment and fair pricing, while also incorporating his own flair for technology. Dr. Steven retired in 2019. Cureton Orthodontics prides itself on creating a fun, family-friendly atmosphere where patients actually look forward to their appointments. They are known for their welcoming and friendly staff, upbeat music, and unique features like a game room with vintage arcade games and a photobooth area for patients to celebrate getting their braces on and off. Dr. Scott Cureton is even known for singing along with music and creating funny orthodontic music videos, showcasing their unconventional and engaging approach to patient care. The clinic offers a comprehensive range of orthodontic services, utilizing the latest technology. These services include traditional metal braces, esthetic tooth-colored braces (using ceramic self-ligating brackets), and clear aligners, including Invisalign and their own in-office aligner system for "smile touch-ups." They emphasize their expertise as "Invisalign Specialists," creating personalized treatment plans rather than relying on generic ones. Cureton Orthodontics is committed to making treatment accessible and affordable, offering free consultations and working with patients on payment options. They utilize state-of-the-art dental technology such as intra-oral cameras for impression-taking, digital X-rays for enhanced diagnosis with less radiation, and even laser dentistry for various oral issues. They also place importance on early orthodontic evaluations for children, recommending an assessment by age 7 to determine the ideal time for treatment. Both Dr. Steven and Dr. Scott Cureton are Board-Certified orthodontists, a distinction held by only about 30% of orthodontists, ensuring a high level of expertise and treatment quality.
