Advanced Technology for Every Smile
We love using advanced technology to make your experience customized and comfortable.
- Traditional Metal Braces: Forget what you’ve seen in old movies. Our high-grade stainless steel braces feature a dynamic design that is smaller, smoother, and much more comfortable.
- Clear Braces: If you want the power of braces with a more subtle look, our ceramic braces are a game-changer. They offer great results with a translucent look.

Quick Fixes for Your Appliance
If a wire pokes out or a bracket feels loose, you’ve got this. You can often use a clean pair of tweezers or even the back of a pencil eraser to gently push a wire back into place. Cover any bothersome spots with wax and give us a call so we can get you back on track.
Starting your journey to a brand-new smile is so exciting! While there are a few changes to get used to, we’re going to be right there with you every step of the way. Think of this as a fun new adventure: once you get the hang of it, you’ll be a pro in no time.
Your New Favorite Foods
For the first few days, your teeth might feel a little sensitive, so it’s the perfect time to treat yourself to some soft, delicious foods. We’re talking about creamy smoothies, fluffy scrambled eggs, warm soup, and even pasta. It’s a great excuse to get creative with your snacks while your smile is hard at work!
Strategic Snacking
To keep your treatment moving fast and your braces safe, we’ll want to avoid anything that could pop a bracket or bend a wire. Don’t worry, it’s only temporary.
- Sticky Stuff: Skip the caramel and taffy for now.
- The Big Crunch: Avoid chewing on ice or hard chips.
- Tough Treats: Instead of biting into a whole apple or corn on the cob, slice them up. You can still enjoy your favorites with a little extra intention.
Feeling at Ease
It’s totally normal to feel some general soreness for the first few days. It just means your teeth are starting to move into their new positions! To feel better fast, try a warm salt water rinse or an over-the-counter pain reliever.
Pro tip: If anything feels like it’s rubbing, just use a little bit of our dental wax to smooth things over.
What’s Up With Loose Teeth
Don’t be surprised if your teeth feel a little "wiggly," that’s actually the braces at work. For your teeth to find their new position, they have to move. They’ll settle in and feel stable again soon.

Highly recommend Roanoke Valley Orthodontics! The orthodontist and the entire staff treated me incredibly well throughout my braces journey.

I’ve had such a wonderful experience with Roanoke Valley Orthodontics throughout my braces journey! Dr. David Jones and Dr. Elizabeth Stapleton Leiner have both been incredibly kind, helpful, and attentive during my treatment. I truly feel that they care about achieving the very best outcome for my smile just as much as I do, which has made the entire process so reassuring.The staff is also amazing! Everyone is always friendly, welcoming, and makes each visit such a pleasant experience. The office has a very comfortable and positive atmosphere, and the team always does a great job with my adjustments while making sure I’m comfortable along the way.I’m so appreciative of the care I’ve received throughout my treatment and would absolutely recommend Roanoke Valley Orthodontics to anyone looking for an orthodontic team that is professional, caring, and genuinely invested in their patients! 😊
My son had to have an expander and top braces. They did wonderful taking care of him and made sure he was comfortable during the whole process. I would recommend them to anyone in need of an orthodontist.
Was really pleased with the friendly staff and orthodontist at RVO. Our child has had a lot of anxiety about getting braces and was genuinely terrified for reasons we couldn’t quite pinpoint. We tried to start the process a few times in the past but ultimately decided to give her more time to mature.Going into this appointment, we honestly didn’t know how it would go. But the assistant connected with her immediately, involved her in the decision‑making, and helped her choose the option that felt right for her. She selected Invisalign, and feeling included made all the difference.We’re only in week one of the journey, but this experience has given us real hope for what’s possible. We’re very appreciative of the care, patience, and support we’ve received so far.
We are embarking on our 3rd experience with braces in roughly 4 years. Each experience has been truly wonderful. We love Dr. Jones ans his whole crew at RVO and would highly recommend them for any orthodontic needs!
