Did you know? Modern orthodontics offers more options than many people expect.

At Kurti Orthodontics, patients in Murphy, Franklin, and throughout Western North Carolina often tell us they’re surprised by how much orthodontic treatment has advanced. Dr. Kurti uses advanced Damon self-ligating braces, a modern system designed to move teeth more comfortably and efficiently than traditional braces. We also offer clear aligner trays for patients who prefer a more discreet treatment option.

Today’s orthodontic technology focuses on achieving great results while keeping patient comfort in mind.

Our team is enjoying a short break this week and will return to regular hours in Franklin on Monday, March 16 and Murphy on Tuesday, March 17. We look forward to seeing everyone soon.

Our team is taking a short spring break. Both Kurti Orthodontics offices in Murphy and Franklin will be closed March 9–13.

Thank you for your understanding. We look forward to seeing our patients again on March 16.

🚧 Website Under Construction

Our offices are open and ready to help.

Dr. Kurti’s building a better website — just like he builds everything else: with the right tools and attention to detail.

While we work on a more useful and streamlined experience online, our Franklin office is open and operating as usual.

Same team.
Same trusted care.
Same commitment to excellent orthodontics.

Braces, consultations, and appointments continue without interruption.

As we build the new site, we’d love to hear from you. What would be most helpful for you to see on our website? Online scheduling? More FAQs? Before-and-after photos?

Let us know in the comments — we’re building it with you in mind.
