Handy Smiles, also known as
H2O Orthodontics, is a well-established orthodontic practice serving the Winston-Salem, NC area and surrounding communities. The clinic is primarily associated with Dr. Thomas G. Handy, Sr. and his son, Dr. T. Gordon Handy, Jr., both highly experienced orthodontists. Their main office is located at 1700 S Hawthorne Rd, Winston-Salem, NC, with additional convenient locations in Lexington and Clemmons, North Carolina, demonstrating a broad reach within the region.
The practice specializes in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics, offering a range of services designed to straighten teeth and improve
oral health and aesthetics. These services include traditional metal
braces, clear braces, and Invisalign, providing options to suit various patient needs and preferences. Handy Smiles/H2O Orthodontics emphasizes a patient-centric approach, offering free orthodontic evaluations, including x-rays, digital photos, and digital scans, to provide a clear understanding of treatment needs and a customized smile plan.
A core tenet of their practice, as highlighted by Dr. Gordon Handy, is a strong mission statement: "To bring glory to God by passionately living out and sharing Truth, Excellence, and Beauty…and always, always doing The Right Thing." This philosophy translates into a commitment to ethical and necessary treatment, avoiding unnecessary early orthodontic procedures in children and advocating for treatment plans that are truly beneficial for patients, even if it means recommending tooth extractions when clinically indicated, contrary to some prevailing trends. The clinic prides itself on providing compassionate and professional care, fostering patient relationships based on trust and ensuring a comfortable environment.
