Dr. Ralph Kurti majored in biology at Columbia Union College (a Christian college) in Takoma Park, MD. Following that he attended Loma Linda University School of Dentistry in Loma Linda, CA, where he received his DDS (dental) degree in 1972 followed by a year of internship at the dental school. For the next three years he practiced general dentistry in a mission clinic on Guam.
At Kurti Orthodontics, we work tirelessly to ensure that all of our patients have the beautiful, healthy smile they deserve. Whether you are dealing with crooked teeth, jaw problems, crowding and spacing, or an uneven bite, the friendly, caring team at Kurti Orthodontics is here to help. Young or old, the best way to determine whether you have an orthodontic issue is through an exam or consultation.
Choosing to get braces is a big decision that involves an investment in time and money. Additionally, wearing braces requires certain lifestyle changes and mindfulness when it comes to oral hygiene, diet, and upkeep. Certain foods, such as nuts, popcorn, hard candy, crunchy foods, hard and sticky foods, apples and carrots can loosen bands and brackets and can bend wires.
Kurti Orthodontics offers a number of orthodontic services and treatments that accommodate all lifestyles. And when adults have misaligned or crooked teeth, the decision to get braces can be a difficult one. Luckily, clear aligners offer a discreet and comfortable alternative that produces fast and effective teeth-straightening results.
At Kurti Orthodontics, we are happy to provide you or members of your family with a complimentary exam. During this exam, we will look at your mouth and examine the need for treatment. From there, we will determine the best course of action and will answer any questions you may have regarding the prescribed treatment.

Dr. Kurti and his entire staff are the very Definition of professional, courteous, and just simply nice. There are absolutely times that I am scattered and they always seem to make sure than I’m going to get there on time with their text reminder as well as helping me when I have to make changes.
Vivian’s smile has always been beautiful, but now it is spectacularly beautiful!

My son is away at a camp in North Georgia. One of his orthodontic appliances broke. I googled for an Orthodontist in Franklin, North Carolina and Dr. Kurti's practice came up. I called the office and asked if it would be possible for Dr. Kurti to see my son. His staff was so very eager to help me and scheduled an appt for my son to come in. After my son saw Dr. Kurti, I spoke with the office once again and they couldn't have been any kinder. They treated him and explained to me what they did. Thank you Dr. Kurti and Staff!!!

From the moment I went in for the consultation meetings throughout the entire process, the staff and everybody was very knowledgeable and really explained what they were doing. It wasn't just a "I'm here to get something done and I don't know what they're doing" type of deal. I knew what was going on and what each step was for. They kept me in the loop and I really appreciated that.

I found Dr. Kurti through searching around on the internet. His practice caught my eye because he was using the Damon Three System. I didn't know anything about it or that there were even different types of braces so when I read more about it, it sounded cool and different from the others. As soon as I went to his office I felt at ease and they provided me with a good payment plan as well.

Dr. Kurti is so great with my children. Dr. Kurti and his staff are committed to all three of my kids for follow up and care. He doesn't recommend any treatments unless he knows they will be successful. We thought my youngest daughter needed braces at a young age and he told us it would be better to wait because if they were put on now there was a possibility she may have to get them again. He is an honest man.

I would like to thank Dr. Kurti's office for offering free orthodontic consultations. They determined that my son does not have a need for braces at this time. It was nice to know that they weren't out for our money. They treated us with professionalism and friendliness. It was a great experience and I would recommend Dr. Kurti for any consultations.

We have been coming to your office for 14 years.....with three kids, there was a time I felt like your office was our second home! I love the fact that you had a gradual plan for getting a perfect smile. You could have just had all of my daughters teeth ripped out and put braces on her when her mouth was still changing. She was too young and you didn't want to put her through that discomfort OR have me pay for something that would have to be done again as she got older. You & your staff committed to her as you did my younger two for many years of follow up and care....even through those awful wisdom

I am so happy that a friend referred me and my son to Dr. Kurti for braces. We went for his first consultation the other day and it went really well. Dr. Kurti was about to explain everything that was going to happen when the braces are put on in a way that he could understand. I appreciated the way everything was explained he was able to tell me all about what he has to do to keep his braces clean.
