Have Straight Teeth & A Great Smile

Spencer Hodnett, DDS, MS

A beautiful smile creates confidence. As a former orthodontic patient, I know what an amazing difference braces will have in my patients’ lives. I want to share that experience with each and every one of them as I watch their smiles improve and their confidence grow.

When a patient can’t stop smiling after their braces have been removed, I know I’ve done my part.

Education

One of the great things about being an orthodontist is that there is never an end to learning. I began my education at Indiana University, earning my Bachelor of Science degree in Biology before attending Marquette University School of Dentistry for my Doctorate of Dental Surgery.

I completed my orthodontic training at West Virginia University School of Dentistry, where I earned my Master of Science degree in Orthodontics.

I constantly take continuing education courses covering all areas of orthodontics from Invisalign®, early treatment, temporary anchorage devices and implants.

My commitment to learning keeps me up to date on the newest developments in orthodontics and keeps me excited about my profession.

Family & Community

I live in Charlotte with my wife, and soul mate, Stacey. We have four children, West, Grady, Blake and Elaina. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, traveling, reading, exercising, and good food. Two of my favorite activities are snow skiing and water skiing. I am very active with triathlons. I have always believed that it is important to work hard, but play hard as well.

Hodnett Ortho

Invisalign® & Invisalign Teen™Hodnett Orthodontics is a certified Invisalign® provider. Invisalign® takes a modern approach to straightening teeth, using a custom-made series of aligners created for you and only you. These aligner trays are made of smooth, comfortable and virtually invisible plastic that you wear over your teeth. Wearing the aligners will gradually and gently shift your teeth into place, based on the exact movements Dr. Hodnett plans out for you.

SmartClip™SmartClip™ Self-Ligating Braces eliminate the need for rubber bands. Instead, an innovative clip system does the trick. SmartClip can move teeth faster, offer a comfortable fit and are easier to clean. That's a big change for the better when it comes to your smile.

Clarity SL™Clarity™ SL Self-Ligating Braces provide all of the benefits of self-ligating braces (like SmartClip™) but with the added advantage of being made from translucent ceramic. These braces blend into the natural color of your teeth and offer the other benefits of self-ligating braces.

Temporary Anchorage DevicesTemporary Anchorage Devices (also called TAD's) are small titanium anchors used in some cases to help teeth move faster with greater comfort. In many cases, TAD's provide a popular alternative to traditional headgear treatment.

Two-Phase Treatment

  • At Hodnett Orthodontics, we sometimes use two-phase orthodontic treatment to combine tooth straightening with physical, facial changes. This type of early treatment gives the greatest rate of success in creating an ideal, healthy result that lasts a lifetime.
  • Phase one of this treatment plan helps the jaw develop in a way that will accommodate all of a child's permanent teeth and improve the way the upper and lower jaws fit together. This approach can also help avoid the necessity of tooth extraction later.
  • After a resting period, phase two will make sure each tooth has an exact, ideal location in the mouth. This balance helps the teeth and mouth function together properly. Usually, phase two will also involve full upper and lower braces.
