RuCo Orthodontics is an independent orthodontic practice serving Nolensville, TN families with braces, clear aligners, and free consultations for kids, teens, and adults. Led by Dr. Anish Gala, board-certified by the American Board of Orthodontics, and Dr. Sasha Baston, our Smyrna practice offers consistent, doctor-led care just a short drive from Nolensville.
We built RuCo around a simple idea: the doctor who starts your treatment should be the same one who finishes it. Not a corporate chain, not a rotating roster of providers. If you’re a parent in 37135 looking at first-time braces for your child, a teen weighing clear aligners, or an adult finally fixing what’s bothered you for years, you’ll get straight answers and a personalized treatment plan.

Dr. Gala and Dr. Baston treat every type of orthodontic concern for Nolensville families, from early evaluations for young kids to adult braces and clear aligners. Every smile gets a personalized treatment plan based on your goals, your bite, and your timeline.
Here’s a quick look at what we offer:
| Service | Who It’s For | Quick Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Traditional metal braces | Kids, teens, adults | Reliable correction for many bite and alignment issues |
| Modern braces (low-profile, ceramic options) | Teens and adults wanting a subtler look | Effective treatment with a less noticeable appearance |
| Clear aligners | Teens and adults | Removable, discreet trays that fit daily life |
| Early interceptive orthodontics | Kids around age 7 | Catches issues early, often simplifying later treatment |

According to the American Association of Orthodontists, children should have their first orthodontic evaluation around age seven. That early visit helps Dr. Gala or Dr. Baston spot developing issues, like crowding or bite problems, while there’s still room to guide growth.

Frequently Asked Questions About Orthodontics in Nolensville
At what age should my child see an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic evaluation around age seven. At that point, most kids have a mix of baby and permanent teeth, which gives Dr. Gala or Dr. Baston a clear picture of how the adult teeth are developing. Early evaluation doesn’t always mean early treatment, but it lets us catch issues like crossbites or crowding before they get harder to address.
How much do braces or clear aligners cost?
Cost depends on the complexity of your case, the type of treatment, and how long you’ll be in active care. At your free consultation, we’ll review your treatment options, walk through your insurance coverage, and give you a clear written estimate, no surprises. We’re in-network with most dental insurance plans, which often reduces what families pay out of pocket.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
Most full orthodontic treatments take somewhere between 12 and 24 months, though shorter and longer cases happen depending on what needs to move. Dr. Gala or Dr. Baston will give you a realistic timeline at your consultation, based on your specific bite and goals.
Do you offer free consultations for Nolensville families?
Yes. Every first visit at RuCo is a free consultation with no pressure and no obligation. You’ll meet Dr. Gala or Dr. Baston, get digital records and an orthodontic exam, and leave with an honest recommendation and a clear understanding of cost and timing. Plan on about 45 to 60 minutes.
Are clear aligners better than braces?
Neither option is universally “better,” they’re different tools for different cases. Clear aligners are a removable, more discreet alternative to braces and work well across many orthodontic issues. Braces remain one of the most effective ways to correct more complex bite and alignment problems. Dr. Gala and Dr. Baston will tell you honestly whether aligners make sense for your smile, or whether braces would get you a better result.
Do you accept insurance and offer payment plans?
We’re in-network with most dental insurance plans and will verify your benefits before treatment starts. We also offer payment plans designed to make treatment manageable for families. Orthodontic treatment shouldn’t require a benefits specialist to figure out, so we’ll explain what’s covered, what isn’t, and what your monthly cost looks like in plain language.
