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.

I would recommend Blue Ridge Orthodontics to anyone considering getting braces. Three of my children have had braces put on through this office. We have been to the Hendersonville and Asheville offices and the staff at both offices are friendly and knowledgeable. Two of my children had to have extensive work and oral surgeries in the Asheville office, and they put my mind at ease. I am extremely satisfied with the outcomes.

Everyone was super nice & Jordan was fantastic! She explained the process well and made us comfortable to make an educated decision. Office was very clean and comfortable and we look forward to this journey with them. UPDATE!!! The girls were great at the initial appointment but it has been very unpleasant since. My son was measured for his Invisaligner and given a date to have them put on. It was a Monday morning and he was driving 3.5 hours from college for the appointment. I called on Friday to confirm the appointment and they confirmed. Then Monday morning rolls around after my son drove home and they called and cancelled the appointment stating the liner will not be in until sometime in September. I called back today to schedule my son's appointment and now that he is back in school he has very limited availability to drive 3.5 hours and of course they are closed on Thursdays and Fridays so now I am paying for a service and we can't even get it scheduled. Every time you call the office you never know who you will get because it rolls all over their different offices. Just not the same any more, we were very happy when my oldest was a patient of Dr. Farrar but its definitely different now.

BRO is awesome! They are always so nice and always on time for the appointments. As a busy dad with two daughters getting treatments I love the scheduling flexibility and I'm a huge fan of the appointment reminders. Thank you BRO! Keep up the good work.

Bro has been so welcoming and warm every time I go. I was so scared to get work done on my teeth because of bad past experiences but each staff member takes the time to throughly explain and make sure I am comfortable. Today I worked with Courtney, who was so fun to work with! Wonderful staff and environment. 100% recommend!

From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with friendly faces and kindness. I love being a patient at BRO. Even when I talk to them on the phone they always seem to be very helpful and go above and beyond. When at the office, They make sure you're comfortable and listen to your concerns. They are very knowledgeable and trust them with my orthodontist care. When my kids get older and need braces, we're pretty sure we will come back to BRO. Thanks for all that you do for your patients!
