Dougherty Orthodontics

From Mom's Vision to Smile Magic: The Experience That's Redefining Orthodontics! Step into Dougherty Orthodontics, where every visit feels like a party in the making. Walk through the doors and you'll find a sunny lobby with an ice cream freezer, a dazzling candy wall, prizes, iPad entertainment, a flavored water station, hot cocoa, and snacks — because we believe smiles deserve a little celebration along the way. But the heart of this practice has always been bigger than the fun stuff. It's a mom-led approach to orthodontic care that puts real families first. Dr. Stefanie Dougherty founded Dougherty Orthodontics 13 years ago as a busy working mom herself, and that perspective still shapes everything about how the practice runs today. "I want everyone to feel welcome when they walk through our doors," says Dr. Dougherty. Her practice is all-women and family-owned, built around flexible scheduling and a team that treats every patient like their own kid — including a longstanding teacher benefit that's been part of the practice since day one, as a thank-you to the educators who spend their days looking after our kids. Financing That Actually Works for Your Budget Braces shouldn't be a financial guessing game. Dougherty Orthodontics offers interest-free financing — custom payment plans built around what actually fits your household budget, with no interest, ever. And the practice accepts all major insurance plans, including FSA and HSA, so families can use the benefits they're already paying for. Real Families, Real Results "Dr. Dougherty really listened and worked around my hectic single-mom life," one patient's mom shared. "She treats every child like her own." Another parent described watching her once-shy daughter transform: "Since starting with Dougherty Orthodontics, my daughter carries herself with newfound confidence. It's not just about her teeth — it's about who she is now." The Dougherty team doesn't just straighten teeth. They build confidence, one smile at a time, in a practice that still feels like it was designed by a mom who gets it — because it was. Ready to see what makes Dougherty Orthodontics different?
