Smile Arc Orthodontics is a renowned orthodontic office in Lancaster, PA thats been serving patients of all ages since 2012. Our staff and board-certified orthodontist can be trusted to transform your overbite, crowding teeth, crossbite, underbite, open bite, or crooked teeth. No matter whats causing your teeth to appear crooked, move apart, or crowd too close together, you can count on our orthodontic treatments to set things straight.
Its amazing how much confidence people gain from having straighter teeth! We love what we do, and we love the results we deliver to our patients. The best part of our job, however, is seeing the smiling faces that walk in and out of our office each day.
Mechanics and helping people is what I've enjoyed since childhood. This unique combination culminated in my decision to take up dentistry as a career, since I knew I would enjoy the work. I completed the program at the University of Illinois, and right after getting my license, I worked as a general dentist in Michigan. With advances in orthodontic technology, I regularly challenged myself to advance my skill sets and I was able to achieve new levels of success.
My desire to get a specialty recognition was fulfilled when Jacksonville University offered me a position in their advanced training program for orthodontics in 2010. Having no second thoughts, I graciously accepted the offer and was thrilled at the prospects of helping the younger and energetic pool of patients who now seek braces and retainers as regular dental treatment.
I am board-certified in the United States, a recognition that applies to only one in every three orthodontists. I am also a 'Fellow of the Royal College of Dentists of Canada', which is also a genuinely rare accomplishment for most orthodontists.
My clinical and research experience, along with love for my work, are testimonials to my commitment to help every patient with their orthodontic needs. My honesty and integrity will give me the strength to serve you now and always.

I have never had an orthodontist that was so nice! I broke my retainers from 10 years ago one Saturday morning and quickly looked up an orthodontist. They told me to come in as quickly as possible to get new molds and they would have my retainers for me before I had to go to work that afternoon. On a Saturday! Everyone was very nice and helpful. Would definitely recommend!

Very professional and knowledgeable orthodontist. Dr.C is the man, staff are very friendly as well. Best of all, more than reasonable deal on braces and invisalign. Go see for yourself with a free consultation!

I just got my braces off and I'm happy to say I'm in love with my results. The workers there are kind and always ask me how I'm doing. Through my journey of my teeth I got more satisfied as I continued to see results. This location is a great place to get braces and Invisalign. Highly recommend

Just got my braces off today after having gaps between all my teeth and a overbite. Other orthodontist said I didn't need braces when I clearly did. Came here one day and they knew I need braces and got straight to work with it. Amazing people that work there. They have my smile looking nice. Thank you

They are the best!! My son was a patient here. He had braces put on by them. Covid took over and I was unsure about how long I wanted to wait before taking him back. They reassured me they were following guidelines. He got his braces off sooner then expected. They are professional, friendly and very accommodating

I do not recommend it to anyone, these people call and cancel the appointment and tell them that I will let them know when I can go and they make an appointment for you and then they want you to go forced when one did not make the appointment . These people stole my deposit of $ 567 go somewhere else don't let the same thing happen to me
