We really thought our only job was orthodontics…

Now we’ve got cameras, candid moments, and a full-on sitcom happening daily 🎥😂

No warning. Just vibes.

“We heard the assistants here are really good…”

“…you mean you?”

Exactly 😌✨

Same familiar faces you know and love — now in Shelby AND Gastonia.

No bouncing around, just the same team… different location 😉

It’s getting a little crowded… in the best way 💙

Our Shelby signature wall is a reminder of how many amazing patients we’ve had the privilege to care for — and we’re just getting started.

We’re so excited to see our Gastonia wall grow with just as many names, memories, and smiles.
New office. Same team. Same heart behind every smile.

Two years, countless smiles, and one very busy superstar! 🎉

Ashia is celebrating her 2-year anniversary with Orthodontic Associates — and let’s just say she’s always willing to master wearing all the hats. From helping patients chairside as a clinical assistant to bringing fresh ideas and creativity as our Marketing Coordinator, she’s been part of so many exciting moments and transitions across our offices.

She’s loved growing with the team, embracing every new challenge, and being part of a practice that keeps evolving (and having a lot of fun along the way!). Her energy, positivity, and willingness to jump in wherever needed make her such a special part of our Ortho family.

Cheers to two amazing years of growth, teamwork, and big smiles — and we know the best is still ahead! 💙✨

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ …and we’re blushing a little!

Nothing makes us smile bigger than hearing how much our patients love their experience at Orthodontic Associates 💙 From kind words about our team to shoutouts about confident new smiles, these reviews truly mean the world to us.

Here are just a few of the amazing 5-star reviews our patients have shared lately — and yes, we read every single one (usually with happy dances involved 🕺✨).

Thank you for trusting us with your smiles and for taking the time to share your experiences. You’re the reason we love what we do every day!

When the music stops… but the show must go on 🎤😌

At OA, we don’t panic — we improvise.

Patients still get the full experience… now featuring live a ca****la performances. 😂

Smiles that give back 😄💙

We are SO excited to present our very first $1,000 donation to Feeding Kids of Cleveland County! This moment means everything to us because it’s not just from our office—it’s from YOU, our amazing patients.
With every treatment started and every item purchased, YOU chose to make a difference in our community. Because of your support, local kids will have access to the meals they need—and this is only the beginning 🙌
We’re beyond grateful to be part of a community that shows up, gives back, and spreads kindness in such a big way.
Here’s to many more smiles, many more choices to give, and MANY more checks to come 💫

The tiniest member of our OA family just turned ONE 🎂💙
Happy Birthday to Dr. Patel’s sweet girl! Watching her grow this past year has brought so much joy to our entire team.
We have a feeling she’s already stealing hearts everywhere she goes… and maybe one day, she’ll be creating smiles too. 🦷✨
Help us wish her the happiest 1st birthday! 🎉
