New Patients

At Village Orthodontics, the “Village Experience” is all about confidence, community, and freedom. As a doctor-owned orthodontic practice in the heart of Dunwoody Village, we’ve intentionally designed our office to feel warm, private, and welcoming - not like a crowded open-bay clinic. Every visit connects you with a team that knows you by name, listens to your goals, and celebrates your progress, whether you’re coming from Dunwoody, Sandy Springs, Roswell, Alpharetta, Johns Creek, or Norcross. From the moment you walk through the door, you’re treated like family, with one orthodontist guiding your entire journey so your treatment feels consistent, clear, and fully focused on you. It takes a village to smile freely, and we’ve built ours around your comfort, confidence, and results.

Led by Dunwoody-native and Vanderbilt-trained orthodontist Dr. Bret Freedman, Village Orthodontics offers a level of expertise you simply won’t find in a typical corporate dental chain. Dr. Freedman has successfully treated well over ten thousand patients, placing more than 100,000 brackets and designing thousands of custom Invisalign® cases for children, teens, and adults. His advanced training in orthodontics, dentofacial orthopedics, and surgical orthodontic planning - combined with state-of-the-art 3D imaging, digital scanning, and modern appliances - means you receive precise, efficient treatment tailored to your unique bite and facial structure. As a Platinum Invisalign® Provider with years of high-volume experience, Dr. Freedman knows how to handle everything from simple crowding to complex cases, giving North Atlanta families an orthodontic specialist they can trust.

Your first visit to Village Orthodontics is a relaxed, 20–30 minute new patient consultation designed to give you clear answers and a confident plan. During this appointment, Dr. Freedman will review your medical and dental history, examine your bite and jaw joints, and evaluate the alignment of your teeth using photos and, when needed, digital X-rays or 3D scans. Whether you’re bringing in a child around age 7 for an early evaluation or scheduling treatment for a teen or adult, we’ll explain any orthodontic issues in plain language and walk you through your options - braces, Invisalign®, functional appliances, or surgical orthodontic coordination if needed. Before you leave, you’ll understand your recommended treatment path, estimated timing, and next steps so you can make an informed decision about your smile.

At Village Orthodontics, we believe financial stress should never stand between you and a healthy, confident smile, which is why we make braces and Invisalign® as affordable and straightforward as possible. After your consultation, our experienced treatment and financial coordinator will outline the total cost of care and create a customized, interest-free payment plan that fits comfortably within your budget. We work with most major PPO dental insurance plans, handle the insurance filing for you, and offer savings for families who choose to pay in full. With options like in-office financing, CareCredit®, and major credit card payments, patients across Dunwoody, Sandy Springs, Roswell, Alpharetta, and the surrounding communities can move forward with treatment knowing their investment - and their smile - is in good hands.
