About Innovative Orthodontics

Three offices across Savannah, Pooler, and Rincon draw patients from as far as Atlanta to see Dr. Donihue Waters, praised for a conservative, no-rush approach.

Reviews for Innovative Orthodontics often mention the convenience of its Savannah, Pooler, and Rincon locations, with several patients noting they drive well over an hour to keep coming back. Many reviews describe Dr. Donihue Waters as patient and conservative, waiting until it's appropriate to start treatment rather than rushing into braces, and one review recounts him personally adjusting a device on his day off to fix a child's discomfort. The offices themselves are repeatedly called clean and modern, and reviews mention treatment for teens and cost-conscious families with financing options available.

Dr. Waters and his team are amazing! Every time I walk into the office, I feel welcomed and completely at ease. The entire team is professional, kind, and knowledgeable. Before getting braces, I was very insecure about my smile, but Dr. Waters and his staff supported me through every step of my treatment. I truly can’t thank them enough — they brought back my confidence! Visiting the orthodontist can feel intimidating, but they always make sure you feel comfortable and cared for. I highly recommend Innovation Orthodontics!
