What to Consider When Choosing an Orthodontist
When searching for a new orthodontic provider, you may consider many factors. Choosing an orthodontist wisely can save time, effort, expense, and hassle. Use the items below as a guide to select the right office for yourself and your family.
Ongoing Education and Training
Doctor and team experience should go beyond basic training. Although it takes additional schooling to become a qualified orthodontist, ongoing training and learning new techniques through continuing education mean your orthodontist is best equipped to guide and bring value to your orthodontic treatment.
Dr. Jeffrey Roeder not only attends many continuing education courses in orthodontic treatment and techniques. He is a certified specialist in Damon™ Smile and Invisalign® for adults and teens and leads a local Asheville, NC study group devoted to the advanced dental techniques of Spear Education.


Financial Flexibility
For most patients, determining what they can afford is a major decision point with any type of treatment. An orthodontist’s office should meet with you in advance of treatment to discuss payment options and arrange payment plans if necessary.
Roeder Orthodontics offers:
- In-house flexible payment plans with no interest
- Low down payments
- Insurance filing on your behalf
- Accepts checks and major credit cards
- Third-party patient financing through CareCredit
Office Location
Office proximity to work, home, or school is a benefit to most, because it ensures appointments are easier to attend and allows treatment to proceed on schedule. However, some people prefer to travel greater distances because they like the treatment options and care provided by the qualified orthodontist and caring team.
Whether you like short or long drives, Dr. Roeder is centrally located in Asheville, right off I-40 and Sweeten Creek Road. The office address is 22 Medical Park Drive, Suite C, Asheville, NC 28803.


Offers Early Intervention
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children visit an orthodontist by the age of seven for a growth and development assessment. Phase 1 treatment is tailored for younger children to allow the correction of orthodontic problems before they become severe. For some patients, Phase 1 treatment may prevent the extraction of permanent teeth and allow future treatment to be much easier for the patient.
Roeder Orthodontics will perform an evaluation and suggest any Phase-One treatment if indicated. RO also offers a program called Roeder Rookies that is an exciting club for patients who are in line for full braces one day but aren’t quite ready yet. Roeder Rookies is open to all Roeder Orthodontics patients who have completed a new patient exam and are seeing Dr. Roeder for growth and development checkups. New patient exams and growth and development checkups are offered at no cost to you.
Available for Emergency Treatment
You want to choose an orthodontist who will be there for you when you need the care. Unfortunately, accidents sometimes happen; if they do, you want to be confident your orthodontist will be available to help.
Roeder Orthodontics has special 24-hour and after-hours availability and instructions for patients who need urgent or emergency care. Please contact our office if you have questions about emergency care.


Office Culture
Having an enthusiastic and caring team makes orthodontic treatment fun. When you have a team with synergy, patients and parents alike also feel the excitement. Our team truly connects with each patient and establishes a positive relationship. Our reviews reflect this caring and supportive approach and are what set us apart from other orthodontic practices.
Smiles are contagious, and at Roeder Orthodontics, you’ll encounter smiles on our team members every day. Our office has a lot of natural sunlight, entertainment options, refreshments, music, movies, and free WiFi.
Wide Variety of Treatment Options
Unlike yesteryear, when orthodontic patients had few choices in terms of treatment, there are now several options for adults, teens, and children. We believe making a decision that is comfortable and affordable leads to successful patient outcomes.
Roeder Orthodontics offers:
- Damon Smile™ braces (metal and clear braces available)
- Clear aligners for adults and teens
- Metal braces


Community Involvement
Being part of the community means giving back to those who could use assistance. Whether helping those in need or sponsoring local sports teams, finding an orthodontist who gives back helps you feel good about your choice.
Dr. Roeder supports many local community groups and charities. Roeder Orthodontics is a member of the Asheville Chamber of Commerce and supports the Asheville Business Community.
Incentives for Patient Cooperation
Believing in the best outcome for treatment encourages teens and young adults to be an involved participant in their orthodontic treatment.
Roeder Rewards is a perk offered to patients who are cooperative during their treatment. The rewards can be saved and cashed in for gift cards to use online or at local stores.

I had heard very good things about Roeder Orthodontics and was pleased to find it was very true. I didn’t experience a medical team; it was more like friends helping me achieve my goals who were just as excited as I was. A lovely experience indeed.
