About Southern Village Orthodontics
No-charge, same-day repairs for broken wires and brackets, paired with hours timed to the school calendar, keep young patients at Southern Village Orthodontics from missing class.
This is an orthodontic practice where Dr. Uhlir treats a steady mix of young children starting early treatment, families juggling several kids in braces, and adults working through Invisalign. Reviews point to quick turnaround on repairs — broken wires and loose brackets handled the same day, often at no charge — and a location and schedule built around nearby schools. Cost and financing come up as straightforward, with Invisalign priced lower than some patients expected and no hidden fees mentioned.

I had such a great experience here! I’m an international student and my braces were done in China. The wire suddenly came out of the back of my braces, and I was really stressed because my orthodontist is not in the US. I came here near the end of the day, and everyone was so kind, patient, and welcoming. They helped me put the wire back in and didn’t even charge me for the repair. I really appreciate how understanding and helpful they were. They made a stressful day so much better. Thank you so much!
Southern Village Orthodontics is one of our homes away from home! Working through orthodontic treatments for two children is a lot, but every step of the way they have been great. From initial, low-pressure information sessions and pre-treatment transparent invoicing to frequent visits and scheduling flexibility to overall professionalism, they have really been awesome to work with. The space is clean, bright, and modern and welcoming to patients of all ages. Highly recommend!
I recently moved to the Chapel Hill area, and Southern Village Orthodontics has truly made me feel at home. Dr. Uhlir and the entire staff are so kind, welcoming, and professional — every visit feels like catching up with friends who care about you. Their attention to detail and genuine warmth make what could be a stressful experience so easy. I’m so grateful to have found this wonderful practice.
We have been very happy with the care my son has received. The office is very comforting and meticulously clean. August is so easy to work with when scheduling or rescheduling. Dr. Uhlir clearly explains everything he does in a very calming way. My son’s teeth are looking fantastic (but we’re not totally done yet). I highly recommend this office.
I had an outstanding experience at this office. The staff was incredibly polite and caring, and everything was well-organized. Despite some complications, doctor Uhlir took the time to address my concerns without rushing. As a Chelsea fan, I enjoyed our discussions about soccer even though he is a Tottenham Spurs fan. Highly recommend!
