Led by our founder, Dr. Luke Roberts, the Blue Ridge Orthodontics specialists are committed to state-of-the-art, individualized orthodontic treatment for each patient. Dr. Roberts is one of onlytwo board certified orthodontists in Asheville and our practice was recently recognized asamong the top 1% of Invisalign providers in North America.
Our staff is constantly learning, mentoring one another and in training from on-site workshops on customer service, to targeted seminars for specific departments. Were proud to have grown to more than 35 team members, all of whom are here for you!
Since the day I started Blue Ridge Orthodontics, it was my dream to be able to start a Cleft Lip and Palate Team for Western North Carolina. Starting as a young teenager and into early adulthood, I had the fortune of working with my father, a plastic surgeon, on medical mission trips in the Dominican Republic and South America where the focus was cleft lip and palate surgery. This left a lasting impression on me, and during dental school, I was able to work in the Department of Craniofacial Plastic Surgery at the Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia with the most complex cleft patients. As I moved into my orthodontics residency, I was able to continue my training on the Cleft and Craniofacial Team in the Department of Orthodontics at Virginia Commonwealth University. Since starting Blue Ridge Orthodontics, I was able to develop relationships over the years to make it feasible to operate a multidisciplinary Cleft Lip and Palate Team based here in Asheville, NC.
This is a wonderful addition to our community, as oral and facial clefting is one of the most common developmental differences. Until our team formed, patients and their families routinely had to travel to Charlotte, Winston-Salem, Chapel Hill or Duke to see a cleft team. Our team is one of only six cleft teams in all of North Carolina, and our goal is to serve these patients with world-class care.
a professional who provides guidance and counseling for your child and your family regarding the social and emotional aspects of a craniofacial difference and assists your family with community resources and referrals.

Dr. Jackson Griffeth graduated first in his class from Dental College of Georgia at Augusta and has many honors and distinctions. Growing up in a family of healthcare workers, it was natural for Dr. Griffeth to want to work with people. All it took was a day of shadowing an orthodontist and he was hooked! Dr. Griffeth drives to create an excellent patient experience and join the uplifting team culture of the BRO team.
Dr. Griffeth and his wife have two children, Rebecca and Bear, and another on the way. In his free time, you can find him outside with his family on one of the nearby trails or the river, making the most of his free time. Dr. Griffeth and his wife, Katherine, are serious about being active. Katherine ran the Boston Marathon at 17 weeks pregnant and Dr. Griffeth competed on the TV show American Ninja Warrior. Talk about impressive! When they arent hiking or competing in a major race they love to travel, do yoga, garden and enjoy home-cooked meals with family and friends.

We have loved our experience at BRO. They are punctual, friendly, and helpful. They have worked us in for a broken wire, and they have taken extra time to help my daughter with taking care of her gum tissue. We are also grateful for the convenience of seeing them in Brevard. And another bonus- they are supportive in our community- probably in more ways than I am aware. They sponsor swim team, and they are always willing to contribute to school and other community fundraisers.

Super friendly and personal staff. The first Orthodontics office I've really enjoyed visiting. My daughter felt right at home and knew the staff at BRO really "got" what was important to her (having the right color bands on her braces!).

As a dental professional myself, I have very high standards for my family's orthodontic care. Blue Ridge Ortho has exceeded them all. The admin staff is very knowledgeable, personable and accommodating. Chantel went above and beyond to find appointments that work for our busy schedules. Barbara was so attentive to my daughter Ella-Grace throughout the appointment and made getting her braces on a very pleasant experience. Dr Roberts took the time to review the X-rays with me and thoroughly discussed the treatment plan and answered all of my questions. I highly recommend Blue Ridge Ortho for superb orthodontic care.
