Your smile has options
Dr. Mike builds treatment around your goals, your age, and your life — not a one-size-fits-all plan.
Invisalign
A discreet, comfortable way to straighten teeth with removable clear aligners. Popular with teens and adults who would rather not have brackets showing at work or school.
Metal Braces
Today's metal braces are lighter, lower-profile and more comfortable than the ones you remember — and still the most reliable way to correct a complex bite.
Clear Braces
The same proven approach as metal braces, with brackets that blend in against your natural tooth color.
Only at Shine in Gallatin
WildSmiles Braces
Brackets shaped like stars, hearts, footballs and more — over 25 shapes your child picks themselves. They also make brushing easier: tell your kids to “brush until they see the shape.” No other practice in the Gallatin area offers them.

As a Marine veteran, I am incredibly grateful for Dr. Mike and his team. Today I started my braces treatment, and they made the entire process easy and comfortable. Dr. Mike and his team genuinely care about their patients and the veteran community.
— Juan Aron C., Google review
We had an amazing first visit today! Every one of my children were treated so warmly, and the staff were all amazing! Both the orthodontic and dental sides were fantastic. I cannot recommend this group enough!

Meet your orthodontist
Meet Dr. Mike Seelig
Dr. Michael Seelig, DMD, MS, serves on the board of the Tennessee Association of Orthodontists as a Board Member and Director of the Middle Tennessee Region.
He also knows what it's like to sit in the chair: before two years in braces, he was a shy kid with a gap in his front teeth who wouldn't smile for photos. That's the reason he does this work. Dr. Mike met his wife, Dr. Lauren Carlson — Shine's pediatric dentist — on their first day of dental school, and they've built their practice and their family in Middle Tennessee.
- Undergraduate degree — Vanderbilt University
- DMD — University of Louisville
- Orthodontic residency & master's — University of Illinois at Chicago
One practice, both specialists
A pediatric dentist and an orthodontist under one roof
Dr. Lauren and Dr. Mike are among the few dual-specialty pediatric dentist and orthodontist teams in the country. Your child's cleanings and their braces happen in the same office, with the same team and the same records — no referrals across town, no starting over with a stranger.
And because we're locally owned, you see your doctor at every appointment.

Real patients. Real results.
A few transformations from our own Gallatin patients.
A natural smile, no extractions
Many orthodontists would have recommended pulling teeth. Dr. Mike used a customized bracket system and selective polishing instead — dramatic progress in 11 months.
Retraining the tongue
An open bite from a tongue thrust habit, corrected with a custom expander with a built-in tongue trainer that broadened her smile.
Early treatment & guided growth
Narrow arches from a finger-sucking habit and impacted canines, corrected with a palatal expander, braces and retainers.
