Harrington Orthodontics

Harrington Orthodontics is a dedicated orthodontic clinic led by Dr. Chad Harrington, a Board Certified Orthodontist with extensive experience in the field. The practice operates from two locations, one in St. Joseph, Michigan, and another in South Bend, Indiana, serving a broad community with comprehensive orthodontic solutions. The clinic prides itself on offering technologically advanced orthodontic care. This includes the utilization of cutting-edge tools such as the I-CAT cone beam for 3D imaging, which provides superior diagnostic capabilities compared to traditional 2D X-rays, allowing for precise treatment planning. They also employ the iTero Intraoral Scanner, enabling digital impressions without the discomfort of traditional molds and providing instant virtual before-and-after views for clear aligner treatments. Harrington Orthodontics specializes in various treatment options for patients of all ages, from children undergoing Phase I treatment to teens and adults seeking smile enhancements. Their primary services include: Damon Braces: A self-ligating system known for faster treatment times, increased comfort, and fewer extractions compared to conventional braces. The Damon System focuses not just on straight teeth but also on overall facial balance and aesthetics, often resulting in a "Damon System Bracelift™" effect with fuller smiles and improved profiles. Clear Aligners: An aesthetic and removable alternative to traditional braces, offering a discreet way to straighten teeth. These custom-made aligners are comfortable, hygienic, and allow for easy eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. Traditional Metal and Clear Braces: While emphasizing advanced options, they also offer these conventional methods. Dr. Harrington and his team are committed to providing personalized treatment plans, recognizing that each patient has unique goals and desires. They prioritize patient comfort, aiming for less pain and faster treatment outcomes. The clinic also offers convenient hours, including early morning, lunchtime, and evening appointments, to accommodate busy schedules. Financially, Harrington Orthodontics strives to make orthodontic care accessible. They offer interest-free financing plans, accept major credit cards, FSA/HSA cards, and work with CareCredit patient financing for procedures not covered by insurance. While they assist with insurance claims, patients are responsible for their balance, as the clinic is typically out-of-network with insurance companies. Patient testimonials highlight the professionalism, warmth, and efficiency of Dr. Harrington and his staff, with many praising the personalized care and excellent results. Dr. Harrington is noted for his hands-on approach, including personal follow-up calls after major adjustments and willingness to address urgent issues promptly. Overall, Harrington Orthodontics aims to deliver exceptional orthodontic care that not only straightens teeth but also enhances facial aesthetics and promotes long-term oral health and confidence.
