You probably hear a lot these days about shopping locally—but what about when it comes to your orthodontic needs? We would argue that staying local is just as important in that scenario! Let’s take a look at why choosing a local orthodontist in Daphne matters so much—and why it should be Glass Orthodontics!
The Local Advantage
There are a number of reasons why having a local provider like Dr. Glass is definitely the best way to go. It can impact every aspect of your treatment, well beyond your results!
We know that there are some corporate offices and orthodontic chains out there that may seem like a convenient option from afar—but in the end, a local practice will always come out on top. Here’s why:
- One-on-One: Our offices boast a special, personal touch, guaranteeing you feel like a valued patient rather than just another name on a roster. We promise you that when you visit our practice, there’ll be a standard of quality that you will feel from your very first consultation!
- Familiar Faces: The term “continuity of care” is one that comes to mind here—the idea of seeing the same team and provider during each visit. This consistency and report builds a sense of comfort and confidence throughout your treatment that makes a big impact.
- Understanding Regional Trends: Our team is familiar with common orthodontic issues specific to the area, such as eating habits influenced by our beloved Southern diet (sweet tea, anyone?) or environment-related sensitivities.
- Support for the Community: Choosing a local orthodontist supports our greater community. Our community is so important to us, and we work hard to create a sense of shared connection through our local smile success stories!
Convenience and Accessibility
For most patients, an office’s location is all about ease of access. This can be so vital for maintaining your orthodontic treatment or that of your children. Glass Orthodontics is made up of four amazing offices serving not only Daphne, but Atmore, Bay Minette, and Brewton as well.
Having an orthodontist in your neck of the woods can prove helpful in a few ways:
- An Easy Commute: Our various office locations will mean far less time spent traveling to and from appointments—which can be a factor worth considering for those who are constantly busy with work and life.
- Emergency Care: If you experience an issue like a broken bracket or misplaced aligner, you’ll have a much easier time getting these issues addressed when we’re nearby.
- Flexible Scheduling: In comparison to corporate orthodontic offices, you’ll find that our team is far more accommodating with appointment times, making it easier to fit visits into your schedule in a timely manner.

Qualifications Matter
Usually, you’ll find yourself doing some research before choosing any new medical or dental provider. We want to highlight a few of these points and how they relate to Glass Orthodontics.
- Experience and Qualifications: You’ll probably want to start by knowing your orthodontist is top-notch—and Dr. Glass is! He was educated and trained here in Alabama and has a number of certifications and professional memberships that prove his professional qualifications.
- Technology: An excellent local orthodontist will make a point of offering the latest in orthodontic advancements, such as 3D diagnostic imaging.
- Treatment Options: In addition to offering braces and clear aligners, our practice specializes in diagnosing the need for corrective jaw surgery and sleep apnea treatment. This distinction is not present in every office across the country, which makes us stand out.
- Patient Reviews and Testimonials: We’re so proud to have glowing testimonials from patients across all four of our offices, which you can read for yourself before visiting.
- Office Environment: A welcoming atmosphere can make a big difference in your overall treatment experience. We work hard to make sure our offices are comfortable and welcoming for adults, kids, and teenagers alike.
- All Ages Welcome: Some orthodontic practices may or may not cater to a specific age bracket—and there’s nothing wrong with that, but we happen to cover all demographics at ours. This takes a special level of skill and sensitivity from the entire team. It also means that sometimes we take care of entire families over their lives!
