Neal Patel DMD
Dr. Neal Patel is passionate about helping his patients gain confidence by building healthy smiles. It is always our goal at Orthodontic Associates to offer our patients the most up-to-date treatments so that you can have a smile that you are proud to show off! Clear braces blend in with your teeth, making them less noticeable than traditional braces.

We love it here! They are so nice & really work with us on our appointments so it's convenient for our schedule. Dr. Patel has been excellent with my son on his treatment plan for a nice smile & always takes his time with us with answering questions. We highly recommend Orthodontic Associates.

We have an adult in braces and a child who, as if today, is in retainers with Orthodontic Associates in Shelby, NC. We absolutely love everyone in this office! They treat you like family and are very understanding and flexible. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a new Orthodontist.

Our family loves Dr. Patel and everyone in his office. They treat you like family and make you feel very comfortable being there. My daughter never worries about being there because she knows she is in the best of hands. We greatly encourage anyone who needs an orthodontist to go see Dr. Patel and his team because you will not find another one like him.

From the clerical staff to the assistants to Dr. Patel at Orthodontic Associates, everyone was friendly and comforting. The clerical staff was on top of making rapport upon entering the clinic and attaining all information pertinent to the appointment. The assistant was very efficient and thorough with the application of the liners along with answering all questions. She was very detailed in explaining all steps in the procedure to keep me informed on all aspects. I’ve been thinking about straightening my teeth for some time and the doctor really informed me on all aspects of the Invisalign process
