Victor runs a startup company in Atlanta, Georgia. As a business owner and the face of his company, he was all too aware that his smile was one of the first things that people would see when interacting with him.
While he didn’t necessarily feel terrible about his smile before treatment, what he remembers is having a sense that it didn’t allow him to fully express who he was; it didn’t capture his true personality. Victor felt limited by the insecurity that would pop up around smiling with his teeth.
Victor says he had always wanted to enhance his smile into something that upped his baseline aesthetic. Before treatment, he had gaps in his teeth that he admits were his biggest insecurity. He wanted to be able to smile without thinking about those gaps—to just smile and feel nothing but confidence and happiness in those moments. He also had an underbite. So, at 25 years old, he started his orthodontic journey.
After his consultation with the Decatur Orthodontics team, Dr. Francis recommended LightForce custom braces as an ideal solution to help Victor reach his smile goals. LightForce brackets contour directly to your teeth rather than simply sitting on top of them like traditional metal braces brackets. This technology allows treatment to progress up to around 40% faster, which is especially appealing to adult patients like Victor who prefer fast, effective results in minimal time.
Victor first came to Decatur Orthodontics on the recommendation of his dentist. He had considered treatment through SmileDirect or similar programs, but after his free consultation, he discovered that—beyond the spaces in his teeth—he was dealing with a bite issue that would require more extensive correction to treat properly.
He felt very comfortable and at ease with Dr. Francis and his team right away. And as someone who takes the time to read online reviews before he commits to working with a healthcare provider, Victor was also very impressed with what other patients had to say about Decatur Orthodontics.
Another thing Victor loves about Decatur Orthodontics is their flexibility to schedule him when an unexpected need arises. For example, he has had a couple of brackets break and our team made sure he was able to come in quickly to have that corrected.
Victor also loves how pristine and welcoming the office space is. There’s lots of light, and everywhere you turn, the modern look and feel of the place matches the practice’s commitment to state-of-the-art orthodontics.
He also appreciates the consistently kind, compassionate support he receives every time he comes in for a visit. The patient, accommodating staff really takes their time with patients, making sure to answer any questions and guide people seamlessly through their orthodontic process.
Beyond that, Victor was happy to be able to take advantage of the payment flexibility options Decatur Orthodiontics offers. The administrative staff works with patients to ensure you get a payment plan that works for you.
Victor is thrilled with his orthodontic journey so far—and he’s especially excited to report that his previous underbite is already gone completely at this point in treatment! He feels sexy, confident, and is always ready to smile freely now.
He has also noticed subtle, positive changes in the shape of his face thanks to the correction of his bite. Where he felt insecure before, he now glows with pride.
