About Nicholson and Becht Orthodontics
Nicholson and Becht Orthodontics operates on Demaree Drive in Madison, Indiana. Clear aligners straighten teeth through a series of custom, removable trays, each worn for one to two weeks before moving to the next in the sequence. They suit mild to moderate crowding and spacing well, and are worn roughly twenty to twenty-two hours a day for treatment to stay on schedule.
Traditional braces use brackets and wires to gradually move teeth into alignment, handling complex bite corrections and significant crowding more predictably than removable alternatives. Treatment commonly runs one to three years, with a retainer worn afterward to hold the result.
Pediatric dental care is built around treating children specifically — dentists with additional training in child development and behaviour management, and offices designed to make a first visit unintimidating. Guidance generally points to a child's first dental visit around age one or within six months of the first tooth.
Sedation dentistry uses inhaled, oral, or intravenous options to help patients relax through treatment, ranging from nitrous oxide for mild anxiety through to deeper sedation for longer or more involved procedures. It is commonly used for patients who have avoided the dentist for years due to fear.
Orthodontic treatment straightens teeth and corrects bite problems using braces, clear aligners, or similar appliances over a period that commonly runs from about a year to several years depending on the case. It is offered to both children, where early evaluation can catch developing issues, and adults at any age.
General dentistry covers the routine and restorative care most people need most often — examinations, cleanings, fillings, and preventive checks that catch problems while they are still small and inexpensive to treat. Regular attendance, roughly every six months for most patients, is what makes that early-catch approach actually work.
Left untreated, small dental problems tend not to stay small. A minor cavity that would have been a straightforward filling can progress to needing root canal treatment and a crown, and early gum inflammation that would have reversed with a good cleaning can progress toward bone loss around the teeth. Catching things early is generally the difference in both effort and cost.

I was there 6 years ago and still upset about my results. I ended up with gaps in my top teeth after 4 years of braces that weren't there before the braces and I feel like they never took accountability for dropping the ball with my teeth. From what I remember they pretty much just said that my teeth were "small" as if they shrunk since getting my braces and told me I could get bonding to fill in the spaces. It was pretty disappointing for me. It might have been a fluke, but I feel like they could have done more to make it right. But, I also wish I would have advocated for myself more in that situation.
Can’t speak for Dr. Becht but Badger and Spiller are completely incompetent. When under their previous office of “Badger and Spiller” in Clarksville, Indiana after completion of my treatment I complained about my bite not feeling right. They told me I was “over reacting” and that I was “too much of a perfectionist”, that “everything was fine”. So I go to my dentist after my braces were off and my dentist immediately recognizes I have a cross bite. Been living with it for almost 20 years and it’s been devastating to my teeth. It’s forced me to get several crowns due to unexpected wear on my teeth. I’m now able to afford to go to another orthodontist to fix the damage these charlatans have caused. I’m posting a photo and from it, you can see how my bottom teeth on one side overlap my top teeth. The top should overlap the bottom. When I clinch down, my bottom jaw has to shift to my left for them to fit together. They have the appearance of looking aligned when clinching but it’s uncomfortable. Other issues such as biting my cheek happens occasionally too. I’m sure there are a few people who have had good results over the years but as they say “even a broken clock is right twice a day”. Don’t trust your teeth to these people! Take your time and do your research.
My son's teeth are looking great and straight! They take special care with each visit, and are always friendly and helpful with questions regarding treatment, insurance, etc. I wore braces years ago, and my teeth had shifted since, so i consulted with Dr. Nicholson, and he gave me a few options. I ended up getting a retainer instead of the invisalign, and I am very pleased with the results. I would highly recommend their services for any orthodontic treatments needed at any age.
As a "mature" patient getting braces for the first time, I can't be more happy with the choice I made to go to Nicholson and Becht. The Doctors and Staff at the Clarksville office are absolutely fantastic. My teenage son and I started this adventure together and I can't imagine going anywhere else. We've had all of our questions answered, they have taken the time to explain why things are happening and what the plans are. They take the time to make you feel comfortable knowing the steps they are taking. I can't wait for the end result to see what magic they have performed with our teeth!! I would definitely recommend them to anyone and everyone!!
My son got his braces here in Madison several years ago. I still remember how patient the staff was with him. He had to wear the head gear and at times his mouth was just so sore but the staff was always helpful. My nephew also had his orthodontic care done here in Madison. I would definitely recommend this group of Dr's and their staff.
I have had 3 sets of braces and a false tooth. Dr. Badger, Spiller, Nicholson, and staff were wonderful through out the whole process. I have had all 5 siblings, one parent, and several close friends receive services and do not have any complaints! This is the absolute best place to go if you are needing orthodontic services.
My daughter has had braces for over 2 years with Badger Spiller & Nicholson. They have been great in all aspects. Very accommodating, quick and helpful in every way. She has seen all three Dr.'s and they have been very informative on her progress. The staff at the Madison & Scottsburg location have great customer service. They really go out of their way to make everyone feel at at ease. I would recommend them to anyone.
