Meet Your Hendersonville Orthodontist
As a Gallatin Hendersonville orthodontist serving kids and teens across Middle Tennessee, Dr. Mike Seelig, affectionately known as "Dr. Mike," brings a personal touch to every smile. He wore braces himself to close a front-tooth gap and overcome a childhood lisp, an experience that transformed his confidence and inspired his career. If you’re searching for braces Hendersonville families trust, you’ll find a friendly, relatable guide in Dr. Mike.
St. Louis–born, Dr. Mike fell in love with Middle Tennessee while studying at Vanderbilt University. He earned his Doctor of Dental Medicine at the University of Louisville, then completed advanced orthodontic training and a Master’s Degree at the University of Illinois Chicago. Along the way, he met his wife, Dr. Lauren,
on the first day of dental school; today they’re proud parents to Lincoln and Lennon and deeply rooted in the community.
Dr. Mike welcomes many Hendersonville patients at our nearby Gallatin office, pairing kid-focused care with clear, compassionate communication. Outside the clinic, you’ll find him with his family, cheering on his favorite teams, or exploring new kid-friendly restaurants. His journey—from a self-conscious student to a dedicated orthodontist—shapes his approach: calm visits, individualized plans, and modern options (metal and ceramic braces, clear aligners) that fit real life.

Types of braces & aligners
No two smiles (or schedules) are the same. That’s why our Hendersonville orthodontics plans are customized—whether you choose braces or clear aligners.
Metal braces
The time-tested standard. Today’s brackets are smaller and smoother, delivering efficient, reliable movement for mild to complex cases. Great for patients who prefer a “set it and forget it” routine.
Clear aligners
Removable trays designed for comfort and flexibility. Perfect for responsible teens and adults who want near-invisible treatment and the freedom to remove trays for meals and big moments. We’ll coach you on wear time (typically 20–22 hours/day) for predictable progress.
Early orthodontic care
For younger patients, early guidance can create space, address habits, and simplify later treatment. We monitor growth and recommend the right timing so you don’t start too soon—or too late.
Not sure what fits best? Your consult includes a side-by-side comparison, timeline, and cost so choosing braces in Hendersonville is simple and confident.
