When it comes to orthodontic care, a beautiful smile is about more than straight teeth; it’s about the entire experience— from the first consultation through the final reveal of your new smile (and beyond!). Choosing a family-owned and operated practice like White Orthodontics can offer you distinct advantages that are unmatched by corporate-owned orthodontic offices. Here’s why starting treatment with a family owned and operated practice is beneficial:

Personalized Care

One of the most significant benefits of choosing a family-owned practice is the personalized care you receive. At White Orthodontics, we believe that every patient is unique, and our team takes the time to understand your specific needs and goals. Unlike corporate chains where patients often feel like just another number, we provide tailored treatment plans, flexible financial options, personal ortho coaches, and team members who truly care about providing excellent care to suit your personal preferences.

Stronger Patient Relationships

Being a family business allows us to foster lasting relationships with our patients and their families. Our friendly and compassionate approach creates a warm atmosphere where you and your loved ones can feel comfortable during every visit. Building a rapport with our team enhances communication and trust, making it easier for you to voice any concerns or preferences throughout your treatment.

Commitment to Community

White Orthodontics is deeply rooted in the Saginaw community. As a family-operated practice, we genuinely care about the community that we serve. We actively participate in local events, sponsor youth sports teams and local schools, and support nonprofits, which reflects our commitment to help make Saginaw stronger. By choosing us, you’re getting superior orthodontic care while investing in the wellbeing of your community.

Continuity of Care

In a family-owned practice, the same team members are often involved in your care from start to finish. This continuity ensures that everyone knows your history, preferences, and treatment goals. With corporate practices, you may find yourself interacting with different clinicians during each visit, which can lead to inconsistencies and disruptions in your care.

Flexibility and Accessibility

As a family-run business, we understand busy schedules and offer advanced treatment options, Invisalign virtual care appointments, and flexible appointment times. Orthodontic commitments always require an investment of time, but we strive to make it easier for families to prioritize orthodontic treatment without regular interference of school or work commitments.

Transparent Pricing and Financing

Family-owned practices often have more flexibility in pricing and payment options than large corporate chains. At White Orthodontics, we provide transparent fees and interest-free, in-house financing with flexible monthly payment options that make orthodontic treatment more accessible. We work with families to find payment solutions that fit within their budgets.

A Holistic Approach to Orthodontic Care

At White Orthodontics, we care about our patients’ overall health and well being. Dr. White and our team are dedicated to cultivating relationships and environments that are positive, uplifting, helpful, and kind, with tools and resources to help ensure you have a healthy smile long after treatment is completed. Dr. White stays active and current in his research in the orthodontic field— and also in the fields of health, science, technology and psychology. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a team more disciplined, energetic, eager, and capable of giving you the best possible care!

Conclusion

Choosing an orthodontist is a significant decision, and at White Orthodontics, we understand the significance of this choice for you and your family. By opting for a family-owned practice, you gain access to personalized care, stronger patient relationships, community commitment, and more. Our team’s dedication to your specific needs and our mission to provide excellent orthodontic care ensure that you will leave our office with a beautiful smile and a positive experience.
