With over 45 years of operation in the Atlanta metropolitan area, Atlanta Orthodontic Specialists runs five office locations across the region: Sandy Springs, Howell Mill, Buckhead, Virginia Highlands, and College Park. The practice employs more than 40 team members and five active orthodontists, including Dr. Mariesa L. Moore, Dr. Christopher Brady, Dr. Melisa Rathburn, Dr. Tyler Rathburn, and Dr. Kenneth Starling, along with additional emeritus and retired physicians.
Treatment options include SureSmile advanced 3D modeling technology, Invisalign clear aligners, traditional braces, palatal expanders, habit appliances, Carriere Motion Appliances, and Herbst Appliances. The practice also addresses sleep apnea treatment, orthognathic surgery coordination, 3D printing applications, airway dentistry, TMJ treatment, and craniofacial treatment. Conditions treated span crossbite, underbite, midline discrepancy, open bites, teeth spacing, crowding, crooked teeth, gum disease, and tongue tie. This breadth of appliance options and treatable conditions reflects a clinical scope that extends well beyond standard braces and aligner cases.
The practice begins treatment with an initial consultation, followed by a customized treatment plan, and provides ongoing support throughout the treatment period. Atlanta Orthodontic Specialists describes its care model as concierge-quality, emphasizing clear communication and on-call staff availability for patients across all five locations.
