While braces are still a common rite of passage for many junior high students, far too many adults incorrectly assume that theyre too old to improve their own smiles appearance and function.

Dr. Cartwright earned his board certification from the American Board of Orthodontics in 2005, proving his commitment to continuing education and excellence in the process. The Board Certification process is voluntary and is not required for an orthodontist to practice in the United States. To achieve this honor, orthodontists have to complete a written and oral examination, present previous successful cases and undergo constant reevaluation to ensure the highest of standards. The implications here are clear patients can trust their smile in Dr. Cartwrights hands without worry.
Despite Dr. Cartwrights excellent credentials, he couldnt do all of this without his dedicated staff. Our team features scheduling coordinators, treatment coordinators, assistants, and a billing and insurance coordinator who will be happy to help you navigate every step of the treatment process. They take pride in making this experience pleasant and rewarding for every patient!
Most major dental insurance plans will at least cover a portion of the cost regarding your orthodontic treatment. Our team will be happy to file claims on your behalf so that these benefits are maximized and none of your deserved monetary support is left on the table. If you have any questions or concerns about this process, dont hesitate to ask!
