I Am Here Because…


Why Orthodontic Care Matters: What the Research Shows

A straight smile is about more than looks. Here’s what dental research tells us about bite problems and orthodontic care.

By the Numbers

35%
Only about 35% of U.S. adults have well-aligned lower front teeth, according to national health survey data (NHANES III).1
1 in 3
Only about one in three U.S. adults has no clinically meaningful bite problem.2
Age 7
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends every child’s first orthodontic check-up no later than age 7.3
Quality of life
A systematic review found orthodontic treatment before age 18 moderately improves oral health-related quality of life, especially emotional and social well-being.4

Why age 7? At that age, children have a mix of baby and permanent teeth, which lets an orthodontist spot developing problems early.3 Most 7-year-olds don’t need treatment yet. We simply monitor growth until the timing is right, and those observation check-ups cost nothing. Learn about pediatric orthodontics.

I love Blue Ridge Orthodontics! I have loved every experience I have had there since I was in 4th grade and now in 8th grade. Every staff member is helpful, kind and smiley. The office is full of things that make it feel special, fun and homey. I love every moment I spend there! There is certainly not one thing I would change about my experience or the office, everything has been great! Thank you Blue Ridge Orthodontics for everything you have done to make my smile and my braces experience better!

Beyond Blue Star, our team has partnered with organizations including Mission Children’s Hospital, Big Brothers Big Sisters of WNC, Habitat for Humanity, and Hope Chest for Women, and we sponsor local events and fun runs across the region.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a referral to see an orthodontist?

No. You can book a free consultation with us directly. If your dentist referred you, we’ll coordinate with their office.

What age should my child first see an orthodontist?

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first check-up no later than age 7. Most children don’t start treatment that early. We monitor growth and recommend treatment only when the timing is right.

What’s the difference between a dentist and an orthodontist?

All orthodontists are dentists, but only dentists who complete an accredited orthodontic residency can call themselves orthodontists. That advanced training focuses entirely on aligning teeth and jaws.

Is Invisalign more expensive than braces?

Not at Blue Ridge Orthodontics. We charge the same price for Invisalign and braces. See cost and financing.

What is the Blue Star Program?

Blue Star is our charitable program that provides $250,000 a year in orthodontic care to local children whose families can’t afford treatment. Each year, we accept nominations for children in Asheville and nearby communities. Learn about Blue Star.

Where are your offices?

We have three offices in Western North Carolina: Asheville (1915 Hendersonville Road), Hendersonville (1714 Old Village Road), and Brevard (4 Market Street, Suite 4204).
