Hands-on approach paired with latest technology keeps Buchanan Orthodontics at the forefront of orthodontics
The efforts of Dr. Jennifer Buchanan, keeping up with the latest orthodontic technology all come down to one goal: to help patients improve their smiles and overall dental health.
For example, during a consultation with Dr. Buchanan says new technology has allowed her to correct her underbite without having to have jaw surgery.
“She made me feel comfortable right away,” Walker said. “My next concern was having braces at 21, but Dr. Buchanan explained that ceramic braces would be much less noticeable for adults. They really were. People kept telling me, ‘I didn’t know you had braces.’ When I look at pictures from back then, I can’t tell I’m even wearing braces.”
Growing up, Walker said she always had an underbite and rarely smiled because she was conscious of her teeth.
Through the work of Dr. Buchanan had the underbite Walker had corrected, her jaw straightened, and her teeth straightened without surgery or extraction.
“It went by quickly and I really enjoyed the process,” Walker said. “There was little to no complaints and every time I came to an appointment they would encourage me and tell me how great it was going.”
When Walker’s underbite was corrected, she was able to chew properly and eat whatever she wanted.
“I recently went to the dentist to get my teeth cleaned and they couldn’t believe how great I looked,” Walker said. “Dr. Buchanan and her staff have always taken a keen interest in me, asking how school is going and remembering things we talked about at the last appointment. I would recommend to anyone considering surgery to correct a jaw problem , tell him to get a second opinion, and if he’s in that area, go see Dr. Buchanan. I couldn’t be happier with everything she’s done for me.”

People may think that the work of their orthodontic practice is purely cosmetic, but Dr. Buchanan said it’s a lot more.
“Form follows function. When the teeth and jaws are in their ideal position, not only is it cosmetically pleasing, it works well too. There’s a big health component because your mouth is the window to the rest of your health,” Dr. called Buchanan. “We’re always staying at the cutting edge of technology so we can provide our patients with the best care that’s comfortable, less noticeable, and gets results faster without all the surgeries, extractions, and extra devices.”
For all other adult patients interested in ceramic braces, Dr. Buchanan work with every patient, regardless of their medical condition or where they live.
Spark aligners are also offered at Buchanan Orthodontics for those seeking a functional and cosmetic bite without braces.
“You don’t have to come every month like traditional braces. I see patients every two to three months, or sometimes I can even extend appointments 4-6 months apart depending on what we’re doing. So it’s not difficult when people live in another state,” said Dr. Buchanan. “Technological advances allow me to treat people regardless of where they live.”
During a free consultation, Dr. Buchanan takes 3D X-rays (DVT) and photos and sits down with each patient to explain treatment needs and goals, and how to correct them with the latest technology.
“You owe it to yourself to seek advice to make an informed decision. You’re not taking any chances to get a free exam and see how our technology can improve your health and self-esteem,” said Dr. Buchanan.
