About us
About Ashby Park
A parent notices that their eight-year-old's front teeth are coming in crowded, and a dentist mentions it might be worth having an orthodontist take a look. A high schooler wants straighter teeth before senior pictures but dreads the idea of metal showing in every photo. An adult in their forties finally decides that the crowding they've lived with since childhood is worth addressing. These are the conversations that fill our days in Easley and Greenville, and every one of them starts the same way: with a free initial consultation, an unhurried look at what's actually going on, and an honest explanation of the options.
We built this practice around families, and that shapes nearly everything about how we work. It's common for us to see a younger child for an early evaluation, treat an older sibling with braces, and fit a parent for clear aligners — sometimes in the same week, sometimes on the same afternoon. Because we treat both children and adults, we're able to follow families over years rather than moments, and that continuity makes our recommendations better. We know how a jaw has grown, what a mouth looked like before the permanent teeth arrived, and what a patient's habits and schedule realistically allow.
Our philosophy is that good orthodontics begins with good information. A bite is not a single problem to be solved but a system — teeth, jaws, muscles, and growth all working together — and the right plan depends on understanding how those pieces interact for one specific person. We take the time to explain what we see, why it matters, and what happens if you treat it now versus later. Sometimes the honest answer is that a young patient simply needs to be watched while more permanent teeth come in. We'd rather tell you that than start treatment before it's useful.
Most people arrive with a handful of practical questions. How long will this take? Will it hurt? Can I do this without everyone noticing? How much will it cost, and can we spread it out? None of those are small questions, and none of them get brushed aside here. Your first visit is a free initial consultation, which means you can get real answers and a clear sense of direction before committing to anything.
From there, treatment is mapped out in plain terms. We offer traditional metal braces, which remain one of the most versatile and dependable tools in orthodontics, as well as clear and ceramic braces for patients who want a lower-profile look without changing how treatment works. For many patients, clear aligners, including Invisalign, are a strong fit — removable, easy to clean around, and often appealing to adults and responsible teens. When a bite needs correction beyond tooth movement alone, we use appliances such as expanders, the Herbst, and the Carriere Motion Appliance. For younger children who lose a baby tooth early, space maintainers help hold room for the permanent tooth on its way in.
Here's what you can expect when you visit us:
- A free initial consultation with a clear explanation of your options, with no pressure to decide on the spot
- Care from a board-certified orthodontist for children, teens, and adults
- Two office locations, in Easley and Greenville, to make regular appointments easier to keep
- Insurance claims filed as a specialist, plus acceptance of all major PPO plans, HSA, and FSA funds
- Flexible financing and affordable payment plans, and a welcome for self-pay patients
- Support for orthodontic emergencies, sports mouth guards, and retainers — including retainers for patients who were treated elsewhere
Our Team and How We Care for You
Orthodontic treatment is a long relationship. You'll see us every several weeks for months at a time, and that means our team becomes a familiar part of your routine. We try to earn that familiarity: greeting patients by name, remembering the season a teenager is playing, keeping appointments moving so a parent can get back to work or a student back to class. Small courtesies matter when they're repeated fifty times over the course of treatment.
Behind the friendliness is real clinical depth. Having a board-certified orthodontist on staff means the treatment planning behind your smile reflects specialty-level training and the standards that certification requires. We file insurance as a specialist, which helps your benefits get applied correctly, and our team is glad to walk you through coverage, timing, and payment options before treatment begins rather than after.
Rooted in Easley and Greenville
These are our communities. Our patients are neighbors, classmates, teammates, and coworkers, and we practice with the awareness that our reputation travels by word of mouth in towns where people know each other. Keeping offices in both Easley and Greenville is a practical decision on behalf of families — it shortens drives, makes school-day appointments more manageable, and gives working parents options.
We also welcome patients who arrive mid-journey. If you've moved to the Upstate partway through treatment, we accept orthodontic transfer patients and will review where things stand before picking up the plan. And if you finished braces years ago somewhere else and your retainer cracked or disappeared, we can make you a new one.
Getting Started
The simplest first step is a conversation. Come in, let us look, and leave with a straightforward understanding of whether treatment makes sense for you right now — and if so, what the realistic path looks like in time, comfort, and cost.
Whether you're weighing early treatment for a child, comparing ceramic braces to aligners as an adult, or need a sports mouth guard before the season starts, we're glad to help you sort it out. No rush, no jargon, and no pressure — just clear guidance from a team that plans to be part of your family's care for a long time.
