Surgical orthodontics

When upper and lower jaws don’t align properly, surgical orthodontics may be the key to correcting the issue. This treatment typically combines orthodontic appliances (like braces or aligners) with orthognathic surgery to reposition the jaw. At Davis Orthodontics, our doctors use cutting-edge digital imaging and computerized treatment planning for maximum accuracy. We collaborate closely with your oral surgeon throughout the process to ensure a smooth, successful outcome.

Dentofacial orthopedics

Dentofacial orthopedics focuses on guiding the growth and development of the jaw and facial bones in children. It often starts before all adult teeth have erupted and may involve expanders, space maintainers, or functional appliances. Our team customizes this early treatment to help prevent bigger issues down the road, setting the foundation for a balanced bite and confident smile.

Craniofacial orthodontics

This sub-specialty of orthodontics focuses on patients with congenital conditions such as cleft lip and palate. Our orthodontists have extensive experience working alongside surgeons and craniofacial teams to manage these cases from early childhood through adulthood. Our coordinated approach ensures your child receives the most comprehensive and compassionate care possible, with long-term planning and support built in.

Frequently asked questions

Not always. Many cases that once required jaw surgery can now be treated with braces or aligners alone. We’ll let you know if surgery is necessary after a full evaluation.

The best time is typically during childhood while the jaw is still growing. Early intervention can prevent more serious issues from developing later on.

In many cases, yes, especially when part of a coordinated treatment plan for conditions like cleft palate. We’ll help you navigate insurance options and coordinate with your medical providers.

Real stories,
 
real smiles

Two of my children have been patients at Davis Orthodontics. I highly recommend them to anyone! They are always very kind and very quick getting the patient in and out at appointments.

Kim H.

Davis orthodontics is second to none in quality and experience. This is my second time having braces as an adult, and I can honestly say I have full confidence in everything that they have done. They have me smiling my best smile. I think the best review anybody can leave is to bring more business. My son will be starting with them as a client in the next couple of weeks.

Joshua B.

From the first time I walked through the doors, the doctor and staff have been nothing but kind to me and my children. They treat me the same every time I come in. I have had three of my children get their braces before me and the results were amazing! I would recommend Davis Orthodontics for anyone wanting to correct their smile.

Michelle J.

This place is great! Very friendly staff, helpful, my daughter's smile is looking so much better already (braces not off yet) but really looking forward to that. This is the orthodontist I'd take my other kids to if needed.

Nadia O.

Every visit to Davis Orthodontics was a pleasure! The staff are wonderful, caring and knowledgeable. We are very pleased with the results of our time with their practice!

Very courteous, no wait time. The staff are great with children. At the end of each visit the patient is given a choice between multiple flavors of Dippin' Dots ☺️ Absolutely recommend!

Mimi R.

Let me ask anyone reading this post, why would you think about going to a different practice? When, this is indeed the absolute best practice of South Carolina! I absolutely loved my time with these caring professionals! They are the most caring I have seen!

Govind N.

The staff have been very professional and polite and are always a joy to interact with. The service is top notch and the staff are very knowledgeable. Scheduling appointments is quick and easy and the appointments are efficient and we are in and out of the office in no time. Additionally, my son loves the free dippin dots ice cream he gets are each adjustment. He says it helps ease the minor pain associated with adjustments. I highly recommend this location!

Michael F.

I got my braces here and got them off today! I’ve had a great experience here! The people are all so nice and helpful here

Lexi E.

I absolutely love, love, love all of the staff. Everyone is so energetic and informational. They made sure that I left without any questions. And guess what, you get Dippin Dots at every check out.
