Why Choose Tooth by Tooth

We’re not Your Average Orthodontic Office.

At Tooth by Tooth, we’re doing things differently. We don’t do high-pressure sales, corporate chains, or confusing treatment plans. We believe in honesty, personal attention, and the kind of care that makes you feel like family.

We’re here for the overthinkers, the busy parents, the adults who’ve put this off for too long—and the kids who just want someone who gets them.

Dr. Patel and his daughter

Meet Dr. Nishant Patel.

Dr. Nishant Patel is a top-of-class orthodontist trained in the Midwest, now proudly serving families in Cary, NC. He’s also a dad of two, so he gets what it’s like to juggle schedules, budgets, and big decisions.

From your very first visit, Dr. Patel is the one you’ll meet—and the one who sticks with you throughout your entire treatment. No bouncing between providers. No confusion. Just consistent, expert care that’s focused on what’s best for you.

Dr. Patel is the real deal. Professional, kind, and incredibly thoughtful with every patient.

— Amanda R., Morrisville

What Makes Tooth by Tooth Different

You’ll always see Dr. Patel—not a rotating cast of assistants.

Our office is calm, clean, and refreshingly non-corporate.

We take time to explain every option, every step of the way.

You'll feel comfort and care from the moment you walk in.

We offer payment plans that work for real budgets.

We use modern tech (like 3D scans) to skip the guesswork.

A Local Practice with Real Roots

We’re not a franchise—and we’re not trying to be. We’re proud to serve the Cary, Apex, Morrisville, and Holly Springs communities with personalized orthodontic care that feels genuine.

Whether you’re here for braces, aligners, or just a free consultation—you’ll leave with clarity, confidence, and a team that’s truly on your side.

Tooth Tech

My name is Rosa. I am an orthodontic assistant with a passion for helping patients feel confident about their smiles. I am here to assist patients through their orthodontic treatment and celebrate every milestone as they achieve the smile they’ve always wanted. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I am one of six, so my siblings sure do keep me on my feet.

Getting braces at Tooth by Tooth changed everything for me. I’m smiling again, and my confidence has skyrocketed!
