Dr. Anish Gala and Dr. Sasha Baston personally see every patient at every visit. RuCo is an independent orthodontic practice in Smyrna, Tennessee. Not a corporate chain, not a rotating roster of providers.
Choosing an orthodontist for your family isn’t just about finding someone who straightens teeth. Most parents are looking for a doctor they can trust, clear answers about what treatment will cost, and an office where their child feels comfortable coming back. That’s the experience RuCo Orthodontics was built to deliver.
At many orthodontic practices, patients rotate between providers throughout treatment. At RuCo, Dr. Gala and Dr. Baston are the doctors your family sees every time, which means better continuity, fewer repeated explanations, and care that actually builds over time.
Orthodontic treatment shouldn't require a benefits specialist to figure out. RuCo Orthodontics is in-network with most dental insurance plans, and our team walks through your coverage with you before treatment begins so there are no surprises.
RuCo proudly serves a large number of Spanish-speaking families throughout Smyrna and the surrounding communities. Dr. Baston is bilingual, and our team is committed to making sure clear communication isn't a barrier to great care.
They founded RuCo Orthodontics because they believed patients deserved something the larger chain practices weren’t offering: a consistent relationship with the same doctor, from first consultation through the day their braces come off.
Their approach centers on listening carefully, explaining treatment options in plain language, and making sure every patient walks away feeling confident about their care.
Because every smile presents differently, treatment at RuCo begins with a full orthodontic consultation and a personalized plan, not a one-size-fits-all recommendation
Braces remain one the most effective ways to correct crooked teeth, spacing issues, and bite problems. We offer metal and clear bracket options, and Dr. Gala or Dr. Baston will recommend what makes the most sense for your specific case.
Clear Aligners are a removable, more discreet alternative to traditional braces and work well across a wide range of orthodontic cases, including many that patients assume require braces.
Catching orthodontic issues early often means simpler treatment later. We see kids and teens throughout Smyrna, Murfreesboro, and surrounding communities, and we'll always be honest with you about whether treatment makes sense now or is worth monitoring over time.
Orthodontic treatment isn't just for teenagers. More adults are starting treatment than ever, and between modern braces and clear aligner options, the process is more comfortable and manageable than most people expect.
Families throughout Smyrna, Murfreesboro, and the surrounding communities trust RuCo Orthodontics with their care. Here’s what some of them have shared.

At your visit, Dr. Gala or Dr. Baston will complete a full orthodontic exam, review digital photos and x-rays, walk you through personalized treatment options, and discuss insurance coverage and payment from the start. There’s no commitment required, just a straightforward conversation about what your smile needs and what it will take to get there.

Most families have the same question: "I think my child might need braces, but I'm not sure where to start." A free consultation is the most direct way to get a real answer from an actual orthodontist, not a front desk screener or an online quiz. Schedule yours today!
