Orthodontics for Adults

Orthodontists like Dr. Foley are dental specialists who diagnose, prevent and treat dental and facial irregularities.

Dr. John Foley received an additional three full years of specialized education beyond dental school to learn the proper way to align and straighten teeth.

Only those with this formal education may call themselves “orthodontists,” and only orthodontists may be members of the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO).

When you allow Dr. Foley, our skilled orthodontic expert to carefully oversee your treatment, you’ll feel at ease every step of the way.

We’ll take X-rays of your teeth and work hand-in-hand with your dentist in The Triangle to know the intricacies of your smile and ensure that you receive the best possible result in your treatment.

This will give you the promise of a much better smile in the end.
