Services
Education is very important at Twaddle Orthodontics. All clinical team members complete certification training in Orthodontics Expanded Functions, and pass the Dental Assisting Basic Skills Mastery Examination. We continue our education by attending AAO conferences and several other advanced training opportunities throughout the year.
Your first visit to our office is a time for us to get to know you and your main concerns. When you arrive at the office, a team member will show you how to sign in, and direct you to our brushing station. Once you have finished brushing your teeth, a team member will take you to the records room to snap a few photographs, and proceed to the x-ray machine to capture a scan.
At your first visit, we will take initial records consisting of photographs and an X-ray scan. We will make sure all initial paperwork is in order; and you will have a chance to meet the team and tour our office. We will finish in the consultation room, where you will meet with Dr. Twaddle for an exam and discuss the treatment plan.

My daughter received her braces at Twaddle orthodontics and her teeth are ruined . She has cavities on every tooth surface . We fixed 3 last year and after this weeks cleaning we are scheduling to fix 10 more cavities. While she had braces never was I told that she needed to brush more . Our dentist advised that when he sees things like this after braces it is because someone put the bonding materials on the whole surface instead of where the bracket would go. I do recall a lot of new faces at Twaddle in Columbia at the time . Perhaps students ? When I questioned Twaddle, he got extremely upset

My braces were put on 02/19/2019 and I just got them taken off 10/21/2020 and will continue my follow up appointments here. Dr Twaddle and his entire staff have always been super friendly and professional. They listen to any questions or concerns you have throughout the process and answer each of them. I will ALWAYS recommend Twaddle Orthodontics!

Back to 10 years ago, both I and my son visited to Dr. Twaddle Orthodontics. we liked his skills and his office and his team. Great jobs were done.
Recently we went to his office again for adjust my son's retainer, we felt that positive smile environment again. Just like their work and settings . I recommended friends to there too.

I love all of the staff and of course, Dr. Twaddle. He is an excellent orthodontist and this is my second child in treatment at this time. Dr. Twaddle cared for my nephew 15 years ago and he is 33 now and still has a perfect smile, thanks to Dr. Twaddle! Now my step son is in treatment and his smile is improving steadily. The office is beautiful, easy to get to and it is state of the art so I absolutely recommend Dr. Twaddle to all of my friends.

We absolutely loved Twaddle Orthodontics! Very short waiting time, one on one treatment, we did NOT have to wait 20-30 minutes to see the orthodontist each visit, the front desk staff were extremely nice and easy to work with, the front desk staff made sure our child was checked in properly, and Dr. Twaddle always made sure our 8 year old was comfortable and enjoyed her visits! There weren’t 12-15 other people receiving treatment at the same time which was also nice!

Our family relocated from the lake two years ago. Dr. Twaddle and his team made the move seamless and a truly great experience for our boys. Not only have we received excellent orthodontic care, but the Columbia staff worked really hard to get to know our boys and welcome them! As a parent, I appreciate the ease of scheduling, and the personalized care and attention we receive during each visit! We really cannot say enough great things...and we now have a brand new, million dollar smile to prove it!
