Port City Ortho is a well-established and highly regarded
Orthodontic Clinic based in Wilmington, North Carolina, with additional locations in Shipyard and Southport. Formerly known as Gierie Orthodontics, the practice rebranded to Port City Ortho, paying homage to Wilmington's maritime heritage and symbolizing the patient's journey towards a perfect smile.
The clinic is spearheaded by a team of experienced orthodontists, including Dr. Bill Gierie, Dr. Gregory Richardson, Dr. Steven Hancock, and Dr. Joe Jamison (following a merger with Jamison Orthodontics). Dr. Gierie, a renowned expert in the field, is a global authority on Invisalign, serving on Align Technology's Global Scientific Advisory Board and lecturing internationally. This collective expertise allows Port City Ortho to offer a wide range of cutting-edge orthodontic solutions.
Port City Ortho provides comprehensive orthodontic treatments for both children and adults. Their services include traditional metal
braces, clear ceramic braces for a more discreet appearance, and advanced clear aligner therapies. They are particularly recognized as a Diamond+ Invisalign Provider and Southeast North Carolina's inaugural Top 1% Invisalign Provider, offering Invisalign for teens and
Invisalign First for younger children (ages 6-10) to address early orthodontic needs.
The clinic emphasizes a patient-centric approach, focusing on personalized treatment plans tailored to each individual's unique needs and goals. They leverage advanced technology such as 3D imaging (iTero scanning) and AI-enhanced planning to ensure precise, efficient, and often shorter treatment times with fewer in-person visits. Beyond active treatment, Port City Ortho also provides comprehensive retention solutions, offering both fixed and removable retainers to ensure the long-term stability of straightened smiles.
Port City Ortho is committed to making orthodontic care accessible and affordable, offering flexible financing and payment options. Their dedication to patient comfort, combined with their expertise and technological advancements, has garnered numerous positive reviews, with patients consistently praising the friendly and knowledgeable staff, clear communication, and excellent results. The clinic also prioritizes patient education, providing guidance on oral hygiene during treatment and proper retainer care.
