Dr. Ragan is a great orthodontist, and an even better person. He is technically excellent, and he and his office staff are friendly, attentive and exceptionally responsive. We have had the best experience ever with Dr. Ragan and his staff! My 8-yr old daughter was one of the first in her grade at school to get an expander and now braces, and she was very anxious.
The entire process with Dr. Ragan has been so easy and painless! When it comes to our children we want the best. Going with Dr. Ragan for her braces was one of the best decisions I made for her. She feels comfortable with him and his staff. Dr. Ragan went over step by step the process she would go through and answered all my questions. His staff is very friendly and very professional.
I have two more kids and if their going to need braces when their older I will definitely come back to Ragan Orthodontics. Our family has had the privilege of working with Dr Ragan for several years. He takes the time to completely explain things and offer options with pros and cons and realistic expectations.

This is a question we commonly hear from prospective patients, and we understand that the difference between an orthodontist and dentist may be unclear to people who aren't members of the dental community.
Like a dentist, an orthodontist is an oral health care provider.
What makes an orthodontist different from a dentist is that he or she specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of bite problems, known as malocclusions.
Malocclusions can be caused by a number of factors, such as missing teeth, crowded teeth, or even misalignment of the jaw itself.

The beauty of your smile can make a difference in your whole outlook on life, not matter what your age.
When your smile looks its best, you feel confident, happy, and proud to show it off.
However, if you have evident imperfections in your teeth, you may feel just the opposite.
Before beginning any treatment, Dr. Ragan conducts an initial consultation to learn more about your bite, gums and teeth alignment.
At that time, he will recommend the best course of treatment to meet your specific needs.

Early treatment (also known as phase one) typically begins around age eight or nine (phase two will begin around age 11 or older).
The goal of early treatment is to correct the growth of the jaw and certain bite problems, such as underbite.
Early treatment also helps to make room for permanent teeth to come in properly, lessening the chance of extractions in the future.
The goal of phase one treatment is to develop the jaw size in order to accommodate all the permanent teeth and to relate the upper and lower jaws to each other.
