Finding the right orthodontist in Columbia can change your smile and make you feel better about yourself. We at Level Orthodontics know choosing orthodontic care is a big decision for you and your family. We’ve worked years to perfect our method for creating smiles that are beautiful and healthy for life.


When people come to see us for the first time, they usually talk about their crooked teeth or bite problems. We listen to what they say so we can figure out what they don’t like about their smile. Some people are concerned about how long treatment will take. Some people are unsure if orthodontic care will work with their lifestyle. We address each concern by giving honest answers and setting realistic goals. We think patients who know what they’re talking about make the best decisions about their dental health.


Many people remember the metal braces from their childhood, but modern orthodontics has come a long way since then. Today’s treatments are more comfortable and work faster than ever. We use state of the art technology to plan each case with precision. Digital imaging shows us exactly how teeth should move. With this technology we can guess how well a treatment will work before we even start. During the consultation patients like to see what their new smile might look like.

A comprehensive evaluation is the first step to successful orthodontic treatment. We look at the structure of the face, the position of the teeth and the alignment of the jaw. All of these things come together to make your smile unique. Sometimes teeth look straight but there are bite problems that aren’t obvious. We find these problems early to stop them from getting worse. Teeth that are properly aligned work better and last longer.


More people than you think know timing is everything. Some people think orthodontics is only for teens. But we do a great job of treating patients of all ages. More and more adults are coming to see us. They find out they can still get the smile of their dreams. You may not realize age limits you as much as it does. We also offer specialty services like Surgical Orthodontics for cases that are more complex and need more help.

Many professionals come to our Columbia office because they prefer private treatment options. They need answers that won’t get in the way of their work. We get your concerns and give you several options for how things seem. All of the options work well and look professional at the same time. You don’t have to change your regular life or job for treatment.


Many people are surprised by how orthodontics can affect their overall health. It’s easier to keep your teeth clean and healthy when they are straight. This reduces the chance of cavities and gum disease. Having the right bite stops teeth from wearing down too much. After treatment some people feel better in their jaws. These health benefits go beyond just looking better.


We believe everyone who needs orthodontic care should be able to get it. People shouldn’t have to put off treatment because of financial reasons. We have payment plans that might work with your budget at our office. We work with many insurance companies to get you the most benefits. Many people find treatment is less expensive than they thought.


Making sure you feel comfortable is just as important as providing great care. Many people have dental anxiety and we know this. Our team goes out of their way to make the place feel friendly and relaxed. We explain each step of the process thoroughly. Patients never feel like they have to rush through their appointments. We want everyone to be comfortable with the care we provide.


When you choose an orthodontist in Columbia you need to find someone you can trust completely. We build long term relationships with our patients and their families. It’s fun to see someone’s confidence grow as their smile improves. We celebrate every step of the way with our patients. We are successful when you are.
