“If you’re watching this, you’re probably thinking — should we actually do this? Here’s what this appointment really is: you come in, I take a look, and I walk you through exactly what I see — the timing, the options, and what it costs. That’s it. No pressure, no obligation. The decision is completely yours, and it stays that way. We’ll see you soon.”

"The question doesn't go away on its own; it lingers. For some kids, the window for simpler treatment is narrower than most parents realize. Book a consultation today - we're here to help!"
—Dr. Anish Gala
WHAT HAPPENS AT THE CONSULT
When you walk in, you sit down with Dr. Gala or Dr. Baston — not a treatment coordinator, not an assistant. The doctor walks every new patient consultation personally, because they need to understand your situation before anyone talks about next steps.
No impressions. No trays. Nothing uncomfortable. Our digital scanner takes about two minutes, and the images show up on the screen in real time so you can see exactly what the doctor sees while they're looking.
Dr. Gala or Dr. Baston walks you through what they found, what they'd recommend, and when. You'll leave knowing the timeline, the options, and the actual cost — including how payment works. No vague ranges. No "we'll follow up with a quote."
Our doctors are both board-certified by the American Board of Orthodontics, a distinction that goes well beyond basic state licensure and reflects a commitment to the highest clinical standards in the specialty. Together they bring nearly 30 years of combined orthodontic experience to every patient they see. They built RuCo as an independent practice because they believed families deserved consistent care from a doctor who actually knows them — not a rotating roster of providers.
Families throughout Smyrna, Murfreesboro, and the surrounding communities trust RuCo Orthodontics with their care. Here’s what some of them have shared.

This consultation is not a package presentation. There is no treatment plan waiting to be sold to you, no coordinator who follows up repeatedly, no contract you’ll feel awkward declining. The decision stays yours — completely.

— Dr. Anish Gala
