About Lake Norman Orthodontics

Dr. Anne Marie Payne's team often finishes braces ahead of schedule and starts orthodontic care early for young kids dealing with crowding or anxiety.

This practice, now led by Dr. Anne Marie Payne after transitioning from Dr. Hill, treats many families with multiple children moving through braces or Invisalign at the same time. Reviews often note treatment wrapping up earlier than expected and describe the office moving quickly on early orthodontic care for younger patients. Same-day fixes for broken retainers or emergency wire issues come up repeatedly, and the office is described as calm and well organized for anxious or very young children.

I had such a great experience with Lake Norman Orthodontics today. My permanent retainer broke before leaving for a two week vacation, and after my dentist told me I needed to see an orthodontist, the team got me in the very same day. Even though I originally got my braces with Dr. Hill well over ten years ago, they took great care of me and quickly repaired my retainer. Thank you to Dr. Ann Marie and the entire team. Everyone was so sweet and accommodating. I’m incredibly grateful for the outstanding care. Highly recommend!

Dr. Anne Marie and her entire staff are so patient with our new experience of orthodontics. Although we have just started the process, they really work to make sure we are comfortable with next steps. She was recommended by multiple friends and we would highly recommend her office to others. My son loves that popsicles are a treat to soothe achy teeth after a visit!

I cannot recommend Dr. Anne Marie highly enough! From the very first consultation, it was clear that I was in expert hands. The entire process has been seamless. Dr. Anne Marie is not only incredibly knowledgeable and precise in her work, but she also takes the time to explain every step of the treatment plan. She is patient, kind, and genuinely cares about achieving the best possible results for her patients. What stood out to me: The Atmosphere: The office is welcoming, modern, and runs right on schedule. The Care: The staff is professional and always makes you feel comfortable. The Results: I am already seeing amazing progress, and my confidence in my smile has never been higher. If you are looking for an orthodontist who combines technical excellence with a wonderful bedside manner, look no further than Dr. Anne Marie. She is simply the best!
