“Dr. Black isn’t like every other orthodontist you hear about.”

“I am beyond thankful for Dr. Black. I wanted to get my teeth aligned before our wedding day but didn’t think I had the time. Dr. Black worked with me diligently to get my teeth looking perfect for our big day. I never thought my smile could look so great.

“Dr. Black isn’t like every other orthodontist you hear about. She takes the time before, during and after your treatment to explain every step and help you to meet your desired goals when it comes to your smile. She will explain the quickest but safest way to get your desired outcome. I am so thankful to have her as my orthodontist!”

-Alexis E. – an Appalachian Orthodontics of Lynchburg patient

Dr. Black and her staff are amazing. They are funny, kind, caring, and super accommodating. I highly recommend her for all ortho needs.

Dr. Black and her team are fantastic! 4 of our family members (myself currently) have been her patients and all of us have had wonderful experiences with appointments and with final outcomes. 3 of us have used Invisalign and 1 has traditional braces currently. My teens loved seeing her and felt she knew them because she always asked about their school or interests. I would recommend Dr. Black to anyone considering orthodontic treatment.

Kathie C.

Dr. Black was absolutely amazing. I have had my braces off for approximately 10 years but had my permanent retainer break. Although she was not my original orthodontist, she made time to meet me the day my retainer broke and repaired it very nicely. She and her staff were so nice and very helpful during this experience!

Emily E.

Dr. Black is the best and her staff are very friendly. I am so glad my children and I are doing our dental treatment with her. Dr. Black is wonderful and very patient. I recommend them anytime!! Love you guys!

Luciana F.

Dr. Black and her team are amazing! You can tell that they really care about their clients. My son was very nervous about receiving braces. We went to a local orthodontist, but they didn’t make him feel as comfortable. We travel over an hour to go here because the way they treat you and the services provided are completely worth it!

Angela J.

We were extremely pleased with the staff! Cannot wait to work with them!! They were fun and energetic and the kids just fell in love with them already!!

Catherine H.

Dr. Black offers a great experience for your child and is truly in expert in her field. One of our children is finishing his treatment and one is just beginning. The results are excellent, and using Invisalign has been a great fit for our kids. Scheduling is easy and the whole staff is great to work with!

Laura W.

Dr. Black and her staff are a joy to work with and I highly recommend them to anyone seeking an orthodontist. They have all displayed a genuine concern and encouragement for their patients.

Sandy J.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Black for over a year now, and my sister has just started seeing Dr. Black as well. We love it! The office is clean and welcoming with tons of children-friendly aspects. They always have music playing, and the team is very attentive. They’re quick to take care of you, and the hospitality goes beyond just orthodontics. My parents and I have never had any issues or confusion. It’ll be tough finding somewhere else to go from college, if I ever need to, since they’ve set the bar so high.

Mel P.

Dr. Black and her staff have provided care to all of our children over the last 5 years. Each visit has been very pleasant, her office is comfortable and clean and all the staff are kind and lively. I strongly recommend Dr. Black to anyone needing orthodontist services.

Beth H.

We love Dr. Black!! Hands down the best orthodontist in town! Not only was she my orthodontist but now my daughters.

Dr. Black and her staff are amazing!!! They go above and beyond to make sure that their patients understand everything that is going on and help them have the most beautiful smile possible. I highly recommend them if you need orthodontics.

Dr. Black and the personnel in the office were extremely helpful and friendly during my whole visit. I was so happy with the service I received!

Makayla J.

Dr. Black and are team are wonderful! Dr. Black has been there for us from the beginning and has given us sound advice to help us decide the course of treatment for my daughter. She treats us like family! Love Dr. Black and her team!

Young-Mee Y.

The level of care here is personal, thorough, and put me right at ease. At every point of the process, I was given all the information upfront, and each procedure was explained to me clearly. When I had questions about my upcoming appointment, Dr. Black herself took the time to email me back promptly with helpful answers. The rest of the staff are also friendly and professional. The facilities are bright and clean with a pleasant waiting area. I highly recommend Appalachian Orthodontics.

Amber D.

Dr. Black and her team are AMAZING! Multiple times she has met me after hours to make adjustments for both my children when something felt off or was uncomfortable for them. She has a servant’s heart and cares deeply for her patients and their family. As a health care provider myself, I can honestly say she is remarkable and her bedside manner is best in class and second to none!

Amy D.

Dr. Black is a nice orthodontist and she always been a good orthodontist for anybody to come to, so if anybody needs an orthodontist come and see Dr. Black.

Ester M.

We’ve received great care with every visit! I’m confident that my kids’ smiles are in the best hands.

Sarah C.

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Our family will be customers/patients for life.

Brandon G.

Walking into Dr. Black’s orthodontic office is like walking into a place of close friends and family. Dr. Black, as well as her team, are genuinely concerned about not only your treatment, but you and your life in general. I can’t believe how good my teeth look now from doing treatment with her! I would definitely recommend anyone to go to her for their orthodontic needs.

Jamie A.

Dr Black is awesome. My son did the Invisalign and while at first I was hesitant to do this, thinking he wouldn’t be very good with that, he did great! The office staff is so friendly and always helpful if an appointment needed to be changed. I have had three boys get their orthodontia at Appalachian Orthodontics and couldn’t be happier.

Julie M.

Dr. Black and her staff are the best! As an “adult” patient with Invisalign. I HIGHLY recommend her and her practice. Everyone is welcoming and friendly, go see them today! You won’t regret a beautiful smile.

Cassie C.

The best Orthodontist in the world!! I want to “Thank” Dr. Black and her amazing staff for the treatment I received for my braces. I can smile a lot more!! :)

Sandra C.

Dr. Black and her staff are so caring and kind.

Justus S.

Dr. Black, and the whole staff is great ! I dreaded getting braces for my son because I am always having to tell him to brush his teeth and worrying if he would brush good with traditional braces. She introduced us to Invisalign and I was a little hesitant but I am so glad we gave it a try. He can remove them to eat and brush his teeth which is great for us. His teeth are doing great you can see the progress as it happens and is ahead of schedule to get them off.

Shana C.

Dr. Black goes above and beyond to provide professional yet caring service to all her patients. Every time I come to any of my appointments I feel like home, her staff is friendly and I absolutely love the results of my treatment.

Jessil F.

Dr.Black’s expertise shines at Appalalachian Orthodintics of Lynchburg. Her staff are friendly and experienced. Just the best!

Haile D.

I love Dr. Black and her staff. Everything is easy and she has thought of everything!

Amy S.

Truly blessed to have found Dr. Black and her awesome staff! I went there to fix my bite and ended up getting my life saved. During the first consultation, almost immediately, she was able to see that I had sleep apnea and needed to get that fixed before proceeding with braces. She referred me to an oral surgeon and it was determined that I needed surgery, to which I did. She was there for me and my family every step of the way. A true family doctor! Now I’m sleeping great and, oh yeah, my teeth and bite are pretty nice too :). I’d give the entire practice 10 stars if I could.

Brian T.

Dr. Black and staff are top notch!!!

Shannon S.

Fantastic Staff! You feel like family & they are so Helpful!

Melissa B.

I love Dr. Black and her friendly staff. Getting braces, no matter what, isn’t the most fun thing to do but they make it as easy as they can. And I am loving my new smile! Can’t wait to get my braces off, but will MISS the staff when I’m all done. Very thankful and I really recommend this place!

Sheila F.

Dr. Black and her team are simply amazing! Dr. Black genuinely cares about her patients and her work. Every time I visit the office, everyone treats me like family! Even after Moving to North Carolina, I still travel to AOL for my appointments because I cannot imagine going anywhere else! Dr. Black has been a great blessing to me! Thank you all!

Kristen E.

There are not enough stars to rate Appalachian Orthodontics!! Dr. Black is an incredibly skilled and caring professional, and her staff immediately puts you at ease. I never had braces, but really wanted straight teeth for my wedding. I was so nervous during my consultation, but Dr. Black and her team were so loving and helpful! Getting braces at 24 is daunting, but I’m SO GLAD that I did! It was such a gift not to worry about my smile on my wedding day! Not only do I love my wedding pictures, but I feel more confident in my daily life as well. I am so grateful for the care and support of the AOL family. I’d recommend them in a heartbeat!

Melissa T.

I was supposed to get braces when I was 12, but that got postponed until I was 24. I was very nervous about getting braces on as an adult, but I have truly loved being a part of the AOL family! I have only had my braces on for 4 months, but I can already tell a HUGE difference, and get complimented on my smile almost every day! I always brag on AOL and their wonderful staff for making this a truly enjoyable experience :)

Krista C.

Great place! Very clean and everyone there was awesome!

Kyron T.

We love all the ladies that work here. They truly take care of their clients.

Tabitha W.

Amazing experience! The staff was all very friendly, considerate, and accommodating. I’m in Lynchburg for school and I was a bit nervous going to an orthodontist besides my one back home, but I felt very well taken care of and reassured!

Lauren N.

We absolutely LOVE Dr. Back and her staff! They treat my children as their own. My children love to go to her office where she has snacks set out, toys, movies, and books for the younger group! She talks to them, she sings, and she dances to the music while working! She is amazing! We love them!!! The whole staff also dressed up as the Wizard of Oz for Halloween! I love that they are their for the children. And they also let the children check themselves in which my children love because it makes them feel independent!

Brandi M.

We cannot say enough about Dr. Black and her amazing staff! Our 11 year old suffers from anxiety and the fear of headgear and braces was tremendous. Dr. Black’s patience and kindness have been above anything we have ever experienced. The time she takes is unlike anything we have every seen. She treats us like family instead of patients.

Jessica D.

Wonderful experience, kind staff, made me excited to move forward with my treatment.

Christie S.

Dr. Elena Black and her Smile Team did an excellent job in assisting my orthodontic problem. I developed a good rapport with Dr. Black and her Team during my treatment, and will highly recommend her practice to anybody including my family.

Maria M.

From day one, I felt like a valued customer from the entire staff at Appalachian Orthodontics of Lynchburg. The entire staff is welcoming, personable, and extremely professional. They work seamlessly together to get the job done and their office feels like home (go in to find out for yourself- Complimentary coffee and tea, Hersey kisses, a library for all, and even a kids play corner)!

Dr. Black and her staff approached my case with genuine interest and provided a customized solution immediately. I was on a tight schedule to receive treatment and they made sure to expedite my scans for a quick turn around delivery of my trays. Joy even made calls to let me know the status of my trays. To add, they took their time to explain everything in addition to gathering what they needed for treatment. With that said, they’re extremely proficient and organized.

I don’t think I can stop saying enough great things about this fine group of professionals. If you’re considering an Orthodontics office-consider Appalachian Orthodontics for a no brained decision. You won’t regret it.

Thanks AOL for welcoming me into your family/office!!

Margaret H.

My daughter is a patient at another orthodontic office and needed a replacement mouth guard (one that cannot be found at a sporting goods store) for an upcoming tournament. When our orthodontist didn’t have any in stock, we stopped by Appalachian Orthodontics to see if they might carry the same one. They were very helpful not only to check for us, for someone that isn’t their patient, but to give my daughter the exact one she needed free of charge. Thanks so much Christi and staff for your fantastic customer service, it is greatly appreciated!

Jennifer M.

Dr. Black is awesome and so is her staff.

Joy J.

The staff at Dr. Black’s office are ALL caring people and explain what is going on step by step which makes a more relaxed visit!!! 

Kassie D.

Appalachian Orthodontics is one of those rare hidden gem businesses that actually care about their patients like they are their own family members. I have never felt more heard and appreciated at a business. She treats me like I am her own daughter. She is so caring, attentive, and authentic. Her entire staff is super professional and they are very prompt. I almost wish she hadn’t done such a good job on my teeth so that I could keep going to her. I got Invisalign and was done within a year now I am in the retainer phase. Even though I am done with treatment technically, anytime I have a concern not matter how small, she still squeezes me into the schedule and listens to me and tries to help me find a solution.

I can’t recommend her business enough to people. I talk about her business with anyone who is willing to listen. If you are wondering if you should get Invisalign or braces or just want someone to consult with to see if you’re a good orthodontic candidate, please give Dr. Black’s office a try. There is absolutely no pressure to buy anything, they just want what’s best for you and will not recommend things just to get money. They actually care and they want whatever’s best for you even if you don’t choose them as the place where you go. It’s definitely worth a consult.

The process was so easy, so painless, and I would go to them again and again if I had to. The community outreach that Dr. Black participates in is also one of the drawing factors I had toward her business. She is always collecting food and other items for the community and trying to perform outreach projects. She is a saint. Thank you for everything Dr. Black you are amazing, seriously!!!
