Services
Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign treatment uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. This method offers faster treatment times with weekly aligner changes and SmartTrack material for comfort. Patients appreciate the ability to maintain normal eating and oral hygiene routines while achieving their desired smile transformation.
Damon Braces
Damon Braces utilize self-ligating technology for efficient tooth movement with reduced friction. These metal braces offer shorter treatment times and fewer adjustments compared to traditional systems. The innovative design provides greater comfort and improved oral hygiene access during orthodontic treatment.
Early Orthodontic Treatment
Early orthodontic intervention addresses jaw growth and bite issues in children. This Phase I treatment creates space for permanent teeth and corrects skeletal imbalances. By starting treatment early, we can often prevent more complex procedures and extractions in the future.
Teeth Whitening
Our professional teeth whitening solutions provide safe, effective smile enhancement. Custom take-home kits deliver consistent results using dentist-approved bleaching formulas. This service complements orthodontic treatment or serves as a standalone cosmetic improvement for patients and families.
iTero Element Scanning
iTero Element digital scanning replaces traditional impression materials with precise 3D imaging. This technology creates accurate treatment plans and eliminates discomfort from conventional molds. The system enhances diagnostic capabilities and improves patient understanding of their treatment process.

Report
We have had a great experience at Newell Orthodontics. I went to 3 offices for evaluations and ultimately chose Newell. We have finished one round of braces for one child and starting with our next child pretty soon. Dr. Newell is very down to earth and understood my concerns of having 2 in braces at the same time and even wanting to wait to begin treatment with another child. They have all been great.

Newell Orthodontics was nothing by amazing! I am not from Athens and they were able to fit me in for a problem that needed attention right away. Heather did a great job fixing my retainer and making my pain go away. Such a friendly staff and I would highly recommend them for all your orthodontic needs in Watkinsville/Athens area!
