Orthodontics for Columbia and WeCo Teens

Most of the families who find us from the Columbia side are past the baby-teeth stage. By Northside Middle and Brookland-Cayce High, the question is usually not whether to straighten teeth but how visible the process has to be.

Both options are here. Clear aligners come out to eat and barely register in a photo, which is why most teens ask about them first. Traditional braces are still more predictable for complex bites and usually cost less. Dr. Christine Esposito, a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics, will tell you which one actually suits the case rather than selling the one you walked in wanting.

It is a straight run west on Sunset Boulevard, and the consultation is free.

Rooted in Columbia

Schools we serve — Families come to us from across Lexington County School District Two — including Herbert A. Wood, Congaree, and Riverbank elementary schools, Northside Middle, and Brookland-Cayce High.

Parks & landmarks — The Columbia Riverwalk along the Congaree River, the shops and eateries on State Street, and nearby Riverbanks Zoo & Garden make WeCo a favorite for young families.

Neighborhoods we welcome — From the historic Avenues to established areas like Westover Acres and the Saluda River corridor, we’re proud to be a children’s dentist Columbia parents pass along to friends.
