Common questions
How do I find an orthodontist near me?
Use the National Orthodontic Registry search bar to enter your city, state, or zip code. You can filter results by insurance accepted, treatment type (braces, Invisalign, clear aligners), and whether the practice offers free consultations.
How do I know if a listed orthodontist is verified?
Every practice in the National Orthodontic Registry is verified through NPI (National Provider Identifier) data from the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services. Verified providers display an NPI badge on their profile.
Does the directory list orthodontists in all 50 states?
Yes. The National Orthodontic Registry covers orthodontic practices across all 50 U.S. states. You can browse by state using the interactive map on the homepage or search directly by city and state.
What is the difference between an orthodontist and a dentist?
Orthodontists are dental specialists who complete 2–3 additional years of residency training after dental school, focusing exclusively on diagnosing and treating misaligned teeth and jaws. Dentists provide general oral health care. For braces, Invisalign, or bite correction, an orthodontist is the appropriate specialist.
How much does orthodontic treatment cost?
Orthodontic treatment typically ranges from $3,000 to $8,000 in the United States depending on treatment type, complexity, and geographic location. Traditional metal braces are generally the most affordable option, while clear aligner systems like Invisalign tend to cost more. Many practices offer free consultations and flexible payment plans.
