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

A Local Practice with Real Roots
