Gragg Orthodontics is a highly reputable orthodontic practice with locations in Morganton and Lenoir, North Carolina. The practice is led by Dr. Kimberly Gragg, who has been providing exceptional orthodontic care since 2002. Dr. Gragg's unique background includes a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Florida, which provides her with a distinctive understanding of the mechanical principles of tooth movement in orthodontics. She further honed her expertise by earning her Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC), graduating with Honors and Distinction, and then completing her Orthodontic Residency and Master of Science degree at UNC. Gragg Orthodontics is dedicated to creating "Gragg smiles" – wide, full smiles that enhance unique facial features and profiles, ensuring long-lasting results. They go beyond simply straightening teeth, focusing on how a smile complements the entire face and its long-term evolution. The practice emphasizes a comprehensive and personalized approach to treatment, understanding that each patient's needs and goals are unique. The clinic offers a wide array of advanced orthodontic services for both children and adults. Key treatment options include: Invisalign® and Clear Aligners: A discreet and removable option for straightening teeth, popular among teenagers (Invisalign® Teen) and adults seeking a low-profile treatment. Damon® System and Traditional Metal Braces: Innovative self-ligating braces that aim for faster treatment times and fewer office visits, along with modern, smaller, and more comfortable traditional metal braces. Ceramic Braces: Tooth-colored brackets that are less noticeable than metal braces. Early Orthodontics: Assessments and treatments for children to guide tooth and jaw development and minimize future orthodontic needs. Adult Orthodontics: Customized treatment plans for adults, recognizing that it's never too late to achieve a confident smile, with options tailored to busy lifestyles. Sleep Apnea & Snoring Solutions: Through Oral Appliance Therapy, they provide a discreet and comfortable alternative to CPAP machines for managing snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnea.
