Dr. Craig Williams Orthodontics - Orthodontist in Decatur, GA

I assist Dr. Williams during patient procedures, take X-rays, train new staff members, and help wherever I am needed. I love watching the orthodontic process of a patient from beginning to end. It is awesome to see a child come in with crooked teeth and see them leave a year or two later as a young adult with a beautiful smile. Our team is full of love, and that spills over into the care we provide to our patients.

Dr. Craig Williams Orthodontics - Orthodontist in Decatur, GA

I work alongside Dr. Williams with patient care, take X-rays, and sterilize our equipment. It is such a treat to witness our patients transformation when they undergo orthodontic treatment. Their smiles become more beautiful but their confidence improves as well. I love working with Dr. Williams and the rest of our team because were all dedicated to giving our patients the best.

We are committed to providing the highest quality of clinical care and personalized service in a warm and compassionate atmosphere. Dr. Williams and our staffenjoy getting to know each patient and thefamily, and love creating relationships that last multiple generations.

  • We believe in providing optimal treatment results, but recognizethe experience of orthodontic treatment is crucial, too. Thats why we customize treatment plans for each individual and each familys goals and expectations.
  • We are especially attentive to everyones individual needs, and do our best to be helpful with insurance, flexible scheduling, flexible payment options, and any special needs our families and patients might have.
  • Don't worry, you'll be eating popcorn and snacking on potato chips again in no time! However, before you can start enjoying some of the treats you love, you will need to take special care to avoid any foods that could damage your new appliances.

    When you first get your braces, you may notice that your teeth and mouth feel a little tender or sore. This is perfectly normal and we promise your mouth will not be sore forever! To relieve the pain, we recommend dissolving one teaspoon of salt in eight ounces of lukewarm water. Swish and gargle this solution in your mouth for just a couple of minutes (do not swallow the saltwater).

    If the pain is more severe and does not go away after rinsing, you can also try taking a pain reliever. It is also not uncommon for your lips, cheeks, and tongue to become irritated for one to two weeks as they toughen and become used to the braces. We would be happy to give you some wax that you can put over the braces to lessen the tenderness. If you need some wax, please let us know.

    If your teeth begin feeling a little loose, don't worry; this is normal! Your braces must first loosen your teeth to move them into the right position. Once your teeth have been repositioned, they will no longer be loose.

    The wires and bands on your braces may come loose. If this happens, please contact us as soon as possible so that we can check and repair your appliance. If any piece of your appliance comes off, be sure to save it and bring it to the office with you.

    You can temporarily fix the loose wire by using the back of a spoon or the eraser end of a pencil to carefully and gently push the wire back into place. If the loose wire is causing irritation to your lips or cheeks, put wax or a wet cotton ball over the broken wire to relieve the pain.

    Damaged appliances can increase the length of your treatment process, so be sure to take care of all your appliances. Your teeth and jaw can only move into their correct positions if you consistently wear the rubber bands, headgear, retainer, or other appliances prescribed by your doctor.

    Game, Set, Match we have great news for athletes! You can still play sports even while undergoing orthodontic treatment! If you do play sports, it's recommended that you wear a mouthguard to protect your teeth and your appliance. Let your doctor know if you need help finding the right mouthguard for the best protection.

    In case of a sports emergency, be sure to immediately check your mouth and appliance for damage. If you notice any loose teeth or appliance damage, please contact our office right away. You can temporarily relieve the discomfort by applying wax or rinsing your mouth with warm saltwater.

    I loved my experience!!! I had braces years ago and just felt like a cashed check. In and out. However the team here were warm and welcoming. I got thoroughly educated by Dr. Williams in a clear manner I can understand. Clear, concise explanation of what it is, the direction and plan. Truly grateful to walk through the doors of this office.

    This place does not deserve a 5 star rating for the way they treated one of their patients, which was my sister. They provided so many guarantees in the beginning, but now its a completely different story. Which orthodontist removes a patient's braces and sends them home without a retainer, asking them to wait days for it? And which orthodontist charges extra if a patient chooses whichever type of retainer they want as part of a "package"? I have never heard of search. Terrible!

    My visit was everything anyone could ask for from a trip to the orthodontist office - informative, efficient, clean and as professional as it gets! I walked in looking for a consultation on fixing the crowding for my lower teeth and they were able to get me squared away in no time! I was greeted with a warm smile upon entry. The office is tech progressive meaning I was able to fill out my background information beforehand online saving me time when I entered, have my temperature taken at the front desk and later have my results emailed to me which is a huge plus! The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. No question was a "dumb" question as they fielded all of my inquiries with welcoming eyes. They were through in walking me through my options, transparent about pricing and honest about their recommendations - inclusive of the trade offs. Safe to say I'll be back and will refer others looking for a new orthodontist center!

    Everyone in Dr. Williams' office was very attentive and nice. I felt comfortable, and I can't say that about other offices I've been to. They made it easy to ask questions and they educated me. They treated me as a student in a class learning about my teeth and that felt wonderful. I left the office with more hope than when I walked in.
