A Consumers Guide to Choosing an Orthodontist
Because orthodontics can affect the health of your teeth and jaws for years to come, choosing an orthodontist is an important decision. Unfortunately not all orthodontic treatment is the same because not all orthodontists undergo the same training, making your decision even more critical.
When considering an orthodontist, it is important to take notice of the following areas:
- The Orthodontist – It is important to review the qualifications such as years in practice, continuing education, and advanced training.
- The Diagnosis and Treatment Plan – To have a successful result, a thorough diagnosis and well-prepared treatment plan are vital.
- The Treatment – It is important to evaluate treatment techniques such as computer-guided placement of braces on all of the teeth – all at once instead of individually.
- The Cost/Value – We have learned that cheaper isn’t better when it comes to your smile. Learn what payment options are available.

Dear Dr. White,
I think that you are the best orthodontist ever. Everyone who works with you is lucky to have a nice guy like you. Even though this orthodontist is really far away from where I live, I still like it. You rock Dr. White! Every orthodontist should be like you!
From a patient who really likes you,
- Ivy S.
"Brady's experience with Phase I of his braces has been great. The staff was wonderful-offering advice and giving warnings about what to expect at each turn. However, as a parent with hundreds of things to do each day, I most appreciated the professional manner in which the office is run. Appointment times are kept-no waiting or delays-calls come the day before as reminders, and everyone knows Brady when we come to the office. Thanks for all you've done for him."
- April S.
"Even when the office moved to Twin Hickory (and we live in Midlothian) we knew switching orthodontists was not an option. The entire staff is so professional and always greets us with a smile! The new office is not only beautiful but has all the modern technology to provide the highest quality of treatment. Our daughter had her braces removed today and her smile is beautiful! The before and after photos are stunning!. I would strongly recommend White Orthodontics, as they are by far the best in town!!"
- Candace M.
"Thank so much for everything! I liked the fact Stephanie did not have to have jaw surgery to correct her bite. We have been through 5 sets of braces with you guys for 3 kids. One more to go! Jennifer sent us rubber bands in the mail to save us a total of 1 ½ hour drive! Thanks a lot!! Carolyn has been great by calculating our money payments and helping when we got insurance and didn’t know how that worked. Marcia has helped us several times with difficult scheduling situations with a lot of patience and understanding. Kristi even met us in Gum Spring on her way home to bring us a retainer that needed repair. Thanks so much for all you guys do with a SMILE!"
- Marsha H.
"The only negative comment that I have is that once Dillon's braces are off and the orthodontic treatments stop---we will really miss everyone!!"
- Vickie R.
"How time has flown-it is hard to believe it's time for braces to come off!"
- Gill W.
"We have been very happy with our experience at Dr. White's office. They are always very professional, yet caring—an important combination in an orthodontist's office!! The office is very comfortable and appealing for all ages. My 2-year old loves the playroom! We would recommend Dr. White for anyone looking for an orthodontist.
We went to another orthodontist first , He did not have her wear headgear or rubber bands, therefore it did nothing except straighten her front teeth. We wasted precious time and money on this and obviously would do it differently if we could do it over again."
- Susan C.
Dear Dr. White,
"Michael and I are thrilled with Alex's teeth results. We never imagined how beautiful the end result would be for her. You really did a great job. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Please know how very much we appreciate all you and your wonderful staff did for Alex. You have one great bunch of staff-they have always been so helpful, warm and friendly. "
- Francene K.
"Your group has exceeded our expectations at every visit. Some particular highlights:
- personal phone calls to check up after braces/expander on
- all staff-very happy and professional
- our child was high maintenance at every stage-your staff was patient and caring in situations where most people would have lost their cool
- great facilities
- the old location was closer for us, but is wasn't bad at all coming to the new location (we were apprehensive-we live near U of R)
- incentive programs were great-especially highlighting opportunities to give (to charities) at various times of the year
I honestly can't think of any suggestions, just keep doing what you're doing! Oh, by the way, Paige's teeth look great!"
"There are truly not enough words to express my gratitude for your professionalism and kindness. All of my life, I have disliked my smile and after 36 years I can now say how much I truly love it! You have given me a confidence that I have never known; the confidence to smile a big, bright and beautiful smile."
- Holly M.
"It has really been a great experience having Dr Paul White as my orthodontist. He and his staff have been very patient and kind during this whole process. The treatment I received was great, especially being an older adult in braces (50+). I would recommend Dr Paul White as being absolutely the best orthodontist ever. He is totally awesome. I will miss him and his staff. Everyone seems to really enjoy what they are doing and are very caring with their patients. They are the best!"
- Victoria P.
"My experience with the team at White Orthodontics was fantastic. I had braces when I was in grade school and had such a horrible experience. When Dr White was able to fix my concerns in a reasonable amount of time I began to feel better about my smile. My friends couldn't believe what a great job they did throughout the beginning; they decided to have their children taken to the same place and fix their smiles. I would recommend Dr White and his team to everyone that is in need of a great smile. Thank you!"
- Alicia F.
"I asked Emily about her experience here at White Orthodontics. This is what she wanted me to share. "Dr. White is really nice. The place is really neat. Braces did not hurt. I'll miss coming to the office." Thanks for making our first experience with braces so pleasant."
- Adrienne V.
