From first consultations to final retainers, we offer a full range of orthodontic care for children, teens, and adults. Whether you need traditional braces, Invisalign clear aligners, a palatal expander, or more advanced treatment for underbites and jaw alignment, our team will help you find the right path to a healthier, straighter smile.
Expander
Some bite problems are easier to treat if they are caught at an early age. That’s why all children should have an orthodontic evaluation by age 7, even if it’s not yet time to begin treatment.

Underbite
An underbite is when the lower arch extends outward beyond the upper front teeth. In many cases, having an underbite is an inherited trait.

Jaw Surgery
Jaw surgery is often the last resort if you have a deformity or injury that can’t be corrected with conservative measures.

Braces
With extensive experience in both traditional and innovative braces technology, Georgetown Orthodontics can help you find the best braces option to help you achieve your smile goals.

Retainer
A retainer is a fixed or removable device that helps you maintain your new, perfect smile. After all, you invested months or years of your time to your orthodontic treatment plan and you don’t want your teeth shifting in the future.

Invisalign
Invisalign, an FDA-approved orthodontic treatment used under a doctor’s care, is a type of clear braces. The treatment process involves wearing customized sets of clear aligners as an alternative to brackets and wires.

Georgetown Orthodontics is simply the best! Dr Blackwood, Heidi and team are amazing! They made my Invisalign experience easygoing and straightforward. I highly recommend them for ortho treatment.
Everything about this practice is very, very good. Dr. Blackwood is always on time and gives his patients his full attention during treatment. The office is pristine, and the staff, super efficient and attentive. Best of all, my bite is now as it should be.
You will be very hard pressed to find a better orthodontist than Dr Blackwood. His skill level is unmatched. He and and his whole staff are first class professionals. They treat you as if you are their only patient. The Invisalign has been exactly as Dr. Blackwood said it would be. I'm thrilled with the results.
I am so glad I took my daughter to Dr. Blackwood. He was great with her and very knowledgeable. The support staff is wonderful as well.
Super friendly staff. Super great location. Parking is available. Unfortunately, I accidentally threw away my retainer and I was able to get in contact with them very quickly and they were able to order another one. This is the place to go. They take great care of you at all stages of treatment.
