Three Leaf Orthodontics is a professional orthodontic clinic with locations in South Charlotte (Apex Drive) and Waxhaw, North Carolina. The practice is led by Dr. Shane Markey, a board-certified orthodontist, who aims to provide exceptional orthodontic care in a welcoming, patient-centered environment. Their philosophy, "Making Friends, Creating Smiles," is evident in their approach, inspired by the three-leaf shamrock symbolizing hospitality, friendship, and fun. Three Leaf Orthodontics offers a wide range of services for patients of all ages, from children requiring early interceptive treatment (Phase 1 and Phase 2) to adults seeking to straighten their smiles. Their core services include traditional braces (metal and ceramic options), Invisalign and Invisalign Teen clear aligners, and accelerated treatment options like Acceledent Aura. They also address issues such as thumb sucking, narrow palates, severe crowding, airway issues, and deep overbites. The clinic emphasizes the use of advanced technology to enhance patient comfort and treatment efficacy. This includes iTero Element 2 Scanners for digital, impression-free 3D models of teeth and gums, and Planmeca ProMax® 3D X-ray systems for detailed 3D imaging with minimal radiation. They also utilize advanced bracket systems like Empower metal brackets and Radiance Plus clear ceramic brackets. Three Leaf Orthodontics is highly praised by patients for its friendly and knowledgeable staff, clean and modern offices, and efficient appointments. They offer complimentary initial consultations to assess orthodontic needs, discuss personalized treatment plans, and explain financial options, including flexible payment plans and acceptance of most major insurance plans. They also collaborate with general dentists to ensure comprehensive patient care.
