Cutting-Edge Technology for Your Smile

These advanced custom systems ensure that each patient receives the most effective and efficient orthodontic care available. Additionally, we use Dental Monitoring capabilities for tracking progress during both aligner and braces treatment.
Dr. Black is committed to staying at the forefront of orthodontic advancements. We use state-of-the-art tools like 3D CBCT imaging, which allows us to visualize tooth alignment and airway structures, as well as 3D intraoral digital scanning, which eliminates the need for messy impressions. These technologies enable us to provide customized treatment plans that deliver optimal results with great comfort to our patients.
More Than Just Straight Teeth
At Appalachian Orthodontics of Lynchburg, we believe that the benefits of orthodontics go beyond straightening teeth. Properly aligned teeth are healthier teeth—they reduce the risk of decay and abnormal wear while building a strong foundation for your overall oral health. Dr. Black’s expertise in Oral Biology and her background in teaching at Boston University and VCU allow her to provide comprehensive care that looks at the mouth as part of the overall body.
As Lynchburg’s only Diplomate of the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine, Dr. Black is also trained to assess and treat patients with sleep conditions such as sleep apnea, highlighting our commitment to holistic health for our patients.

Appalachian Orthodontics of Lynchburg understands that orthodontic care can be a financial investment, which is why we offer a variety of flexible financing options to make treatment accessible to everyone. We also offer complimentary consultations, complete with X-rays, photographs and a personal consultation with Dr. Black to determine the best course of action for your treatment. Additionally, we proudly participate in Smiles Change Lives, a program that provides access to orthodontic care for children from low-income families.
Giving Back to the Community
Dr. Elena Black is deeply committed to supporting the Lynchburg community. Over the years she has supported local organizations like Girls on the Run, Boy Scouts of America, Freedom4/24 and Park View Mission, and volunteers her time with Smiles Change Lives. Whether it’s attending a community event or supporting patients at local sporting events, musicals and plays, Dr. Black is dedicated to making a positive impact both in and outside the office.
