Braces vs. Invisalign: Which Is Right for Your Smile?

Choosing to straighten your teeth is a big decision—but choosing how to do it can feel just as important. Braces and Invisalign are two of

5-STAR SMILES IN NASHVILLE

You’re never too old to straighten those teeth!!! From the first day of consultation to the last day when my braces came off, the entire experience was actually quite wonderful. I saw Dr. Foltz and his team every 6 weeks for 2 1/2 years and I’m going to miss them! Who knew you could look forward to seeing the orthodontist??? Everyone there greeted me with a smile, knew my name, made me feel like I mattered. I live in Franklin so it was way out of my way, but I’m grateful my dentist sent me to Avenue South Orthodontics. The whole vibe there feels like a family. Thank you Dr. Foltz and Emily for building such a welcoming space!

ASO is truly the best. From the moment I walked in for my very first appointment to now, my experience with Dr. Foltz and his team has been nothing short of great. Every single person at ASO is truly amazing and they always make you feel welcomed. I am almost at the end of my Invisalign treatment and the only part that will suck is that I won’t be coming here routinely anymore. Thank you ASO for genuinely caring and making my Invisalign journey so great! I would definitely recommend ASO for anyone looking for a quality Orthodontist in Nashville!

I am so impressed with the professionalism, expertise, and kindness of this entire team. They make the orthodontic process both collaborative and FUN! It’s truly a treat to visit them. I was SO impressed with the Treatment Coordinator, Hailey. She explained my proposed treatment plan so in depth and made me feel extremely confident in saying yes to my dream smile. I can’t wait to complete my care and eventually have my daughter visit Hailey and the team when she is ready. Highly recommended giving this team a call!

I absolutely recommend this location! After having braces years ago, my bottom teeth began to shift just a little, so I decided to visit Dr. Foltz to explore my options. The staff, whether on the phone or in personal is absolutely phenomenal, and the office itself has so many great aesthetic touches inside (like a crafted drink menu for all ages, from juices to lattes), it doesn’t feel like your boring typical orthodontist’s office. Even in watching how they interact with other clients, and how much their small clients (kids) love the staff, it speaks volumes to the friendly environment they foster. Hailey, an absolute sweetheart, took me right to the back to do my x-rays, and other scans with their advanced technology, and it was completed in no time. Dr. Foltz is extremely nice - not to mention easy on the eyes (lol). I was able to avoid Invisalign altogether after he suggested a modified retainer that would be enough to make the minor corrections I needed, and I received them within 48 hrs! I simply can’t thank everyone there enough for making this a GREAT experience, from beginning to end.

It does not get any better than with Dr. Foltz & his AMAZING staff. ❤️
I’ve struggled with TMJ and a misaligned bite for YEARS from the trauma of smile direct club. I spent so long looking for answers. Some doctors told me I needed new teeth, surgery, and to grow bone cause my jaw was so out of wack.
Dr. Foltz was confident he could potentially fix my bite and he totally has!! I just finished my treatment and I can say I’m 110% happy and comfortable again in my bite.
If this happened to you, don’t look anywhere else and book a consult!
Thank you Avenue South Orthodontics! ✨
You guys are THE BEST 🤗

If I could give a 10 star rating I would! ASO goes above and beyond in such unique ways to make their patients and their caregivers feel taken care of and also very special. We came to them for a 2nd opinion and I am so grateful that we did. Their plan was much more approachable for my 9 year old and was the same cost as the previous Ortho’s estimate. My son loves coming to the office and that says a lot for a business that provides something that maybe isn’t super fun for a child. I have recommended them so many times now and we only started our treatment with them a month ago. Highly recommend ASO!

Can you say relaxed? They have it figured out, seriously! It is an entire vibe and so refreshing to feel like I was about to do something other than talk about fixing/adjusting teeth. The kids loved it and so did daddy and I! He is very professional and knows his stuff thoroughly. It is not just about latest tech but also research and experience. Everyone was friendly but not in a we are trying to hook you selling kind of way. It was sincere, glad to have made your acquaintance, let us know how we can help. We are grateful to have the opportunity to work with such a great provider and his office staff.
