Not All Orthodontic Offices Are Created Equal
About Village Orthodontics
Dr. Bret Freedman founded Village Orthodontics in order to provide first-class orthodontic treatment to the residents of Dunwoody, Sandy Springs, Roswell, Alpharetta, Norcross, Johns Creek and the surrounding communities.
The office, located in the heart of Dunwoody Village, is designed to allow for maximum patient comfort, privacy, and superior treatment results. Our patients will be provided with orthodontic services using the latest and most advanced dental technology.
Whether you have simple alignment issues such as "gaps" or crowding, desire to improve the alignment of all of your teeth, or even to correct a functional issue, the orthodontic care provided by Village Orthodontics can and will make you more confident about your smile.
Different by Design
Before founding Village Orthodontics in 2017, Dr. Freedman worked for a large orthodontic group practice in Georgia for 9 years, during this time he successfully treated over 800 -1200 new patients a year and a total of over 10,000 patients. This gave Dr. Freedman a unique perspective and advantage compared to most orthodontists who average 200-250 new patients in a year. By treating over 4x the number of patients a year Dr. Freedman versus the average Orthodontist, Dr. Freedman gained the experience of treating almost every type of patient countless times, and knows to to successfully treat any condition that faces him efficiently and effectively.
While that experience was great, it came with a price. Dr. Freedman was not able to spend the time that he wanted to with his patients and was not able to be in the same location more that one time per week. Its not uncommon for an orthodontist has a schedule of 80-140 patients a day, leaving only 2-3 minutes to spend with a patient, and often it is less than this, as new patients and patients getting their braces on and off require significantly more of the doctor's time. Also when an office is only open to patients 1 day a week, the schedule fills up quickly and often leads to headaches for the patients trying to make an appointment. They are at the mercy of the open appointments on the 1 day the office is scheduling.
Village Orthodontics, was started with a uniquely different model...

Our Orthodontist
Dr. Bret Freedman
Orthodontist
Dr. Bret Freedman, grew up in Sandy Springs, right down the street from Village Orthodontics. Dr. Bret graduated summa cum laude from Woodward Academy where he attended middle and high school. After spending the majority of his life in the South, he decided to move north to attend the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. At Michigan, Dr. Freedman received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics with a premed focus, because he knew that in his heart he wanted to follow the career path of his father and grandfather in the dental specialty.
This decision led him to the Medical College of Georgia School of Dentistry where he earned his Doctorate of Dental Medicine in 2008 and graduated at the top of his class.
He received his Orthodontic Specialty Certificate from Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Vanderbilt’s rigorous training provided Dr. Freedman with the highest level of knowledge and clinical expertise in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics and dental sleep medicine. Dr. Freedman served as a part-time clinical assistant faculty member at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Division of Orthodontics.
Dr. Freedman has completed the written portion of the American Board of Orthodontics Exam to become board certified by the American Board of Orthodontics and is Invisalign® Certified.
Your Treatment Options
High-Tech Braces
These are the metal or silver braces. They have colors that hold in the wires and you get to pick new colors every visit to move the teeth.
Cosmetic Braces
These tooth-colored braces and look stunning - they are commonly referred to as porcelain or CLEAR braces.
Invisalign
A series of clear trays gradually moves your teeth without the need for braces or metal wires.
Inbrace / Lingual Braces
Braces positioned behind (or on the inside) of teeth to correct the alignment of the teeth.
Surgical Orthodontic
Therapy
Sometimes the maxilla (upper jaw) and mandible (lower jaw) are positioned so far apart that the skeleton will not allow us to align the teeth if we don't first treat the jaws.
Functional Appliance Therapy
We have multiple appliances at our disposal to correct various types of malocclusions - including but not limited to posterior crossbites, anterior crossbites, and a deficient mandible (lower jaw positioned back).
HAPPY PATIENTS - ALWAYS
Dr Freedman has been wonderful since putting braces on both of our daughters (on the same day) over a year ago. I highly recommend Dr Freedman and his staff as they have always provided a warm, welcoming environment in a modern, contemporary stylish office
