Drs. Morris & Taylor Ltd is a well-established orthodontic practice serving the communities of Elizabeth City and Ahoskie, North Carolina. The clinic, accessible via their website str8ners.com, is led by Dr. Gary E. Taylor and formerly Dr. Glenwood E. Morris (who retired on 12/31/2021). Both doctors have extensive experience in orthodontics, with over 40 years in practice each, and are members of numerous professional organizations including the American
dental Association and the American Association of Orthodontists. Dr. Taylor is noted as a Preferred Provider for
Invisalign, indicating significant experience with the clear aligner system.
The practice prioritizes providing high-quality orthodontic care in a friendly and comfortable environment for patients of all ages. They utilize modern technological advancements in the industry, such as digital imaging and advanced computer graphics, to ensure effective treatment.
Their services encompass a wide array of orthodontic solutions:
Orthodontics for All Ages: They treat children, adolescents, and adults, understanding that while childhood is often ideal for treatment due to growth, healthy teeth can be moved at any age.
Types of
braces: This includes traditional metal braces, ceramic braces (a clear alternative for cosmetic appeal), and lingual braces (bonded to the back of teeth for invisibility).
Invisalign and Invisalign Teen: As Preferred Providers, they offer
clear aligners for both adults and teenagers, providing a discreet and removable option for
teeth straightening.
Early Treatment: Following the American Association of Orthodontists' recommendation, they offer early orthodontic screenings for children by age 7 to identify and correct potential problems before they become more serious.
Post-Orthodontic Care: They emphasize the importance of retainers (Hawley, clear aligner-type, and fixed retainers) to maintain the results of orthodontic treatment.
The clinic also focuses on patient convenience, offering easy financing options, same-day treatment start after a free consultation, and accepting various payment methods including cash, checks, credit cards, and third-party financing through Lending Club. They work with most insurance providers and are participating providers for Delta Dental, MetLife, and United Concordia. Patient testimonials consistently highlight the professional, friendly, and family-oriented nature of the staff and doctors.
