Getting braces as an adult was a difficult decision, but I am so glad I did! Looking for an orthodontist was the hardest part and once I walked in to Sturgill Orthodontics I knew I was right where I need to be. The orthodontist is thorough and greeted my case with complete confidence. - Whitney J.
This orthodontic team is absolutely wonderful, kind and attentive! Carla helped me with the decision making on finding the best option for me and was very helpful. She answered all my questions and explained everything in detail! I recommend going here for all your orthodontic needs!- Kaydee H.
I got braces as an adult to prepare for jaw surgery. The staff has been wonderful, helpful, and super friendly every time. The waiting room and 'appointment' areas are clean and welcoming. They have been great at communicating with me and the other doctors involved in my surgery.- Chloe G.
We love this place! It is a fun atmosphere. The staff is always so friendly. Dr. Sturgill and Williams are both fabulous. They accept insurance and let you know up front how much it will cost with no hidden costs. I can’t recommend this place enough!- Lauren W.
The Johnson City office is absolutely the best! Friendly staff, clean, affordable and the cutest therapy dog you will ever see! We looked at several other places before making our decision and after visiting it was the easiest decision ever. Highly recommend.- Bianca D.

First visit for a consult has been above and beyond what I expected. The staff were so helpful and friendly! The best boy, Louie, even stopped by for a visit what more could you ask for while getting quality, safe patient care? 10/10 recommend! :-)- Roxy R.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before your first visit — straight from our Johnson City orthodontic team.
-
The cost of braces in Johnson City varies depending on your treatment type and how complex your case is. At Sturgill Orthodontics, we offer the lowest down payments in Johnson City and flexible monthly payment plans so treatment fits your budget. The best way to get an exact number is to come in for a free consultation — we'll give you a clear cost breakdown with no surprises.
-
No referral needed. You can contact us directly to schedule your free consultation — no dentist referral required. We welcome patients of all ages from Johnson City, Kingsport, Bristol, Elizabethton, and the surrounding Tri-Cities area.
-
Your first visit is completely free and zero-pressure. One of our board-certified orthodontists will do a full smile evaluation, walk you through your treatment options, give you a timeline, and discuss costs and payment plans — all at the same appointment. Most patients can even get started the same day if they're ready. Learn more on our first visit page.
-
Neither is universally better — it depends on your teeth, lifestyle, and goals. Invisalign is removable, nearly invisible, and great for adults and teens who want flexibility. Traditional braces tend to be more precise for complex cases and don't require the same level of patient compliance. Our board-certified team will help you figure out which is the right fit during your free consultation.
-
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. At that age, we can spot developing bite issues and jaw problems early — even if treatment isn't needed yet. Early evaluation gives us the ability to guide growth before it becomes a bigger (and more expensive) problem later. And yes, the first visit is free for kids too.
-
Yes — we work with most major dental insurance plans and will help you maximize your benefits. We also offer flexible in-house payment plans with the lowest down payments in Johnson City for patients without orthodontic coverage. Visit our financing and insurance page to learn more, or ask us at your free consultation.
