The Leader in Enhanced Orthodontics

Recent advancements in technology have made orthodontic treatment for adults faster, more comfortable, and more convenient than ever. Using portable devices that deliver soft-pulsed vibrations and light in conjunction with orthodontic treatment, we can enhance the biology of tooth movement. This allows your teeth to move healthier, more comfortably, and 50% faster. This is especially important for adults because your teeth don’t move as quickly as adolescents. Treatment often can be completed in as little as 5 months.

Impression-Free Treatment

Impressions, the goop they put in your mouth to get a mold of your teeth, are no longer a necessary part of treatment because of the advent of digital intra-oral scanners. We were the first orthodontic office in the region to implement this technology. Using these laser scans of your teeth Invisalign, custom braces, and other orthodontic appliances can be fabricated much more accurately than they could have with traditional molds of your teeth. More importantly, the uncomfortable, gaggy impressions are not something you have to tolerate at our office.

OrthoSculpture®

When committing to orthodontic treatment, it’s often the right time to consider other aspects of care that may be beneficial to the structure and look of your face as well as your overall wellness. Your orthodontist is responsible for far more than just straight teeth. How your teeth and jaws are positioned during treatment has a profound impact on your facial appearance, aging, and broader health issues like obstructive sleep apnea. Relaxing hyperactive smile muscles using Botox, enhancing soft tissues responsible for the framework of your smile with dermal fillers, or supporting your airway with an oral appliance are quite often useful adjuncts to orthodontic treatment that improve the final result. Dr. Scott Frey has been responsible for training doctors worldwide on how to leverage these tools to deliver better orthodontic results. We have integrated these techniques into our practice and work closely with other specialists in the region to provide a comprehensive treatment approach for our adult patients that has come to be known as OrthoSculpture®.

What they are saying

"We recently moved to the Chesapeake area and needed an orthodontist that could continue treatment for our two kiddos. Hatcher & Frey Orthodontics made our transition seamless and even provided an Invisalign option. The staff is amazing and the facilities are top notch!"

Brandon Gilstrap
"This is an OUTSTANDING team of dental professionals. We are greeted with smiles every time and wait less than 5 minutes to be called back for our appointment. This is EXCEPTIONAL when compared to the usual, long waiting room wait in MANY practices. The changing seasonal themes is always surprising and enjoyable. THIS IS NOT THE USUAL MEDICAL FACILITY OFTEN VISITED. Doctors Frey and Hatcher are personable, very friendly and HAPPY to work with their patients. Theirs is the most pleasant office to visit and this team is competent and approachable all the time. I'd GIVE THEM A 10 if I could!"

Ann Lambert
"We absolutely LOVE Hatcher & Frey Orthodontics. I have 3 daughters who went through braces for about ten years (2002-2012). Now, I am wearing Invisalign. They have been consistently professional and offer the very best care. I highly recommend them."

Dawn Stephens
"We love Dr. Hatcher and Dr. Frey! They are super thorough when you go in for an evaluation, and give you pricing up front. I visited a different local orthodontist, who wouldn’t give a price until after we started... they are detailed in the plan and the outcome is terrific! It is a wonderful practice with an amazing team! I highly recommend them!!"

Eleanor Garver
"I can't tell you how astonished I was with the customer service, everyone here is affectionate, and kind. I feel respected and important here. I am a current patient with crowding problems; Invisalign was what I went with because It doesn't seem too much of a chore to keep up with rather than braces. Thanks Dr. Hatcher for your stunning care; I know I'm in good hands and can't wait to see a different smile in the near future. I hope if you've read this far you choose to come here even if you live far away; it's definitely worth the drive. I would recommend this to anyone who is in need of an orthodontist."

Jacob Andresen
"Got my braces off today after 29 months of wearing them. When I came to Dr. Hatcher back in June 2017, my teeth looked like they were beat by Negan's bat, Lucille, from TWD. Today, I am a brand new person that has been cured of my zombie teeth apocalypse! Thank you Dr Hatcher, Shawna, and the rest of the staff! Your hard work has paid off and will not be forgotten. I will think of you every time I smile."

Warren Dana Bowling Sr.
"Five stars I scheduled a consult after seeing photos of Dr Frey’s cases with early development utilizing Invisalign. I also felt orthodontics should start early not late and I wanted the best for my 5yr old twins. I was blown away with Dr Frey’s clinical skills, understanding of sleep apnea in children, his updated technology and ability to do digital scans instead of impressions totally shows his education and expertise, but my biggest compliment was how well they treated my family. It’s care that is surpasses any practice I’ve seen. Thank you for educating us and giving us a sound treatment plan."

Shannon Pace Brinker
"Dr. Hatcher is wonderful and the staff is exceptional! We have had a very positive experience here with both of our daughters. They go above and beyond and I recommend them to anyone who is looking for an orthodontist. They make you feel like family and the kids love going to their appointments. State of the art technology is used to transform smiles from good to great!"

Margot Nowlan Broglin
"Dr. Scott Frey is an amazing Orthodontist and very caring. The most important thing which many people don't understand is it's not just straightening your teeth but knowing your bite is right for the lifetime of functioning. It's well worth the investment and time to do it right, so it won't cost you even more down the road. I give him 5 stars!"

Marie Sawtelle
"What a great experience! We were referred to Hatcher & Frey Orthodontics by our pediatric dentist’s office and they are very helpful and professional. Couldn't have had a better team to help my now 13-year-old achieve her perfect smile."
