Orthodontics has quietly split into two conversations. One is about the hardware itself: traditional metal brackets, lower-profile ceramic braces, and clear aligner systems like Invisalign and Spark that move teeth with a series of removable trays. The other is about who is doing the moving. A board-certified orthodontist has completed two to three years of specialty residency beyond dental school devoted entirely to tooth movement and jaw development, which is a different credential from a general dentist who also offers aligners. For complex bite problems, crowding, or growth issues in children, that distinction is worth understanding before signing a treatment contract.
Greensboro is well supplied with dedicated orthodontic specialists, several of them clustered near Friendly Center and the Battleground corridor. What varies between them is emphasis: some focus on early interceptive treatment for kids as young as five, others build their practices around adult Invisalign and near-invisible options, and a few handle surgical and airway cases that reach beyond straightening alone. Each practice below is a specialty orthodontic office located in Greensboro, North Carolina, with its own mix of aligner brands, bracket systems, and consultation policies.
Robert Stoner Orthodontics: From Aligners to Jaw Surgery
Formerly Reynolds Orthodontics, this Beaman Place practice at 1304 Beaman Place is staffed by two board-certified orthodontists, Dr. Robert Stoner and Dr. Brennan Alford. Their range is unusually broad: traditional braces, Invisalign, and Angel clear aligners for routine cases, but also orthognathic jaw surgery coordination and airway-focused orthodontics for patients whose bite issues tie into breathing. They treat children, teens, and adults, offer early interceptive evaluation, and include complimentary consultations with panoramic X-rays and an exam, along with interest-free financing to spread the cost of longer treatment plans.
Straight A Orthodontics: Invisalign With Fewer Chair Visits
Dr. Amir Aminoshariae, known to patients as “Dr. A,” runs Straight A Orthodontics at 1515 West Cornwallis Drive, Suite 105. The practice leans heavily into Invisalign for adults and teens, describing it as a virtually invisible way to straighten teeth using a custom series of clear trays, and it points out that aligner treatment typically requires fewer in-office visits than traditional braces. For patients who need or prefer fixed appliances, the office also fits metal and ceramic braces and provides retainers in permanent, Hawley, and clear-plastic forms, plus custom mouth guards and in-house financing plans.
MyOrthodontist: Multiple Aligner Systems Downtown
At 1002 North Church Street, Suite 400, near downtown, Dr. Donna Nichols leads a MyOrthodontist location that stocks a range of aligner options. Alongside Invisalign and traditional braces, the practice offers Spark clear aligners and Carriere Motion 3D, an appliance sometimes used at the start of treatment to correct bite alignment before braces or aligners take over. The office also provides both in-person and virtual care check-ins, which can cut down on trips downtown for patients managing treatment around work or school schedules.
Grinz Orthodontics: Early Monitoring and Top-Tier Aligner Volume
Grinz Orthodontics, at 4016 Battleground Avenue, Suites G and H, is led by Dr. Kaysie Mills and Dr. Eniko Macrae and identifies itself among the nation’s higher-volume Invisalign providers. The practice fits both modern metal and clear braces and offers at-home aligner treatment for adults whose teeth have shifted over the years. A distinguishing feature is its free early growth monitoring program for children ages five to ten, which tracks jaw and tooth development so treatment can begin at the right moment rather than too early or too late.
Kaley Orthodontics: A Two-Generation Oakcrest Practice
Kaley Orthodontics, at 2510 Oakcrest Avenue, is run by Dr. Mark Kaley and Dr. James Kaley as Invisalign Preferred Providers, a designation tied to case volume. The practice offers Invisalign and Invisalign Teen alongside metal and clear braces, and it emphasizes that orthodontic treatment can correct misaligned teeth at nearly any age, not just during the teenage years. Free consultations let prospective patients get a treatment estimate before committing, and the father-and-son structure means continuity of care that can span a family’s younger and adult members alike.
Planning Your First Consultation
Most Greensboro orthodontic offices offer a free initial consultation, so it costs little to compare two or three before deciding. Ask whether your case is straightforward enough for aligners or genuinely needs braces, since not every smile is an Invisalign candidate, and confirm who supervises the treatment day to day. Clarify the total fee, what retainers and follow-up cost after the active phase ends, and whether interest-free financing is available, because orthodontic treatment often runs a year or more and the payment plan matters as much as the appliance.
