Charlotte clinic with a braces specialty — Orthodontics is on file among 7 procedures.

More about orthodontics at this clinic

Crown Point Orthodontics is an orthodontic practice located at 8620 Crown Crescent Court in the East Forest neighborhood of Charlotte, North Carolina. The practice offers orthodontic treatment and dental crown services to patients in the 28227 zip code and surrounding east Charlotte communities. Orthodontic services at this practice include traditional metal braces and retainer fitting. Braces treatment involves a series of regularly scheduled adjustment appointments to progressively move teeth into alignment over a treatment period that typically spans one to two years, depending on the complexity of the case. The practice treats both adolescent and adult orthodontic patients. For teenagers undergoing orthodontic treatment, appointments are spaced to accommodate school schedules, and the team communicates clearly with both patients and parents about treatment progress and next steps. Patients requiring both restorative and orthodontic work may be able to coordinate both services at this practice. New patients considering braces or other orthodontic treatment can schedule an initial consultation to discuss alignment goals, view projected treatment timelines, and understand the full cost of treatment before committing. The practice is also accessible for patients whose orthodontic treatment was started elsewhere and who need to transfer care to continue. To book a consultation or ask about current availability at Crown Point Orthodontics, use the contact details listed on this page.

How to Choose a Dentist in Charlotte

Use the ranking as a starting point, then narrow the shortlist based on the kind of care you actually need.

If you want routine or family care

Prioritize review consistency, insurance friendliness, practical hours, and a broad general-dentistry service mix over marketing language alone.

If urgency matters

Confirm same-day capacity, after-hours guidance, and whether the clinic handles urgent restorative work in-house or refers out.

If affordability matters most

Compare financing signals, insurance notes, and the local cost guide. A higher-ranked clinic is not automatically the best value for your specific treatment.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Do you accept my insurance or offer payment plans?
  • Are you taking new patients right now?
  • Do you handle my treatment in-house?
  • What is the total expected cost before treatment starts?
EditorialUpdated August 2, 2026Independently reviewed

Orthodontic specialists in Charlotte serve a patient community whose demand has grown faster than the specialist supply over the past decade — a city whose population growth has created adolescent patient cohorts whose size exceeds the orthodontic capacity that the Mecklenburg County specialist community was scaled for a decade ago. The ABO Diplomate orthodontists who established in the South Charlotte suburbs of Ballantyne, Waxhaw, and Mint Hill serve the commercially insured adolescent and adult patient whose employment with the financial services or healthcare sector provides the orthodontic benefit that makes the specialist fee accessible. The East Charlotte and North Charlotte communities where the Latino and African immigrant family communities are concentrated require the orthodontic specialist whose Spanish-language capability and NC Medicaid or sliding-scale fee structure makes comprehensive correction accessible to the adolescent patient whose clinical need is identical to the South Charlotte patient but whose financial resources and language requirements are different.

Smyleee evaluated Charlotte orthodontic specialists on ABO Diplomate or board-eligible credentials, direct attending orthodontist supervision throughout active treatment mechanics, NC Medicaid orthodontic billing for eligible adolescent patients, Spanish-language consultation and treatment monitoring capability, adult complex case management including surgical-orthodontic coordination, geographic distribution across Mecklenburg County including the East and North Charlotte communities, and patient outcome consistency at two-year post-retention correction stability. These ten Charlotte practices are the orthodontists the data confirmed as delivering the most substantively specialist-quality orthodontic management across the full geographic and demographic range of the rapidly growing Greater Charlotte patient community.
