Services
Metal Braces
Metal braces provide effective, cost-efficient orthodontic treatment for patients of all ages. Using high-quality stainless steel brackets and archwires, this proven method gradually aligns teeth and corrects bite issues. Our modern design ensures maximum comfort while delivering reliable results for complex dental cases.
Clear Braces
Clear braces offer a discreet alternative to traditional metal braces. Made from tooth-colored ceramic materials, these braces blend naturally with your smile while providing the same corrective power. Ideal for teens and adults seeking aesthetic treatment options without compromising effectiveness.
Invisalign
Invisalign uses custom-made, removable clear aligners to straighten teeth without brackets or wires. This innovative system offers a nearly invisible solution for correcting misalignment, with the added convenience of easy removal for eating and cleaning.
Retention
Retention services ensure lasting results after orthodontic treatment. We provide customized fixed and removable retainers that maintain proper tooth alignment. Our durable, comfortable designs help preserve your new smile for a lifetime with proper care and follow-up.
Surgical Orthodontics
Surgical orthodontics corrects severe jaw irregularities through coordinated treatment with oral surgeons. This comprehensive approach addresses functional issues like bite misalignment and jaw joint disorders while improving facial symmetry and overall dental health.

A special team works here with Dr. John Nikolovski, every person here is truly a pleasure to work with during your process from start to finish! Today marked the end of the first part of our journey with Dr. John & his team for my Son and I honestly couldnt be happier. From the initial consultation to the placement of his braces in the beginning, the prompt follow up appointments to the updates from his staff as to our progress as well as communication with Dr. John regularly including today when the braces were removed and his teeth are exactly as Dr. John said they would be...thank you!

I without a doubt give Dr. John Nikolovski and his team at Durham Orthodontics 5 stars!!! If I could give them 10 stars I would! I have been so fortunate to stumble across Durham Orthodontics when I was looking for braces back in 2012. I was so nervous to get braces at 21 years old. From the consultation and discussion of my treatment plan - throughout the 3 years and up until today with my follow-ups I have not had one negative thing to say. Dr. John truly shows his patients that he cares from the beginning right until the end. His pricing was very reasonable and not outrageous like some other
