Orthodontics by Birth & Fletcher

Dr. Sheila Birth and Dr. Cristi Fletcher have been brightening smiles in Northeast Tarrant County for over 20 years. They both believe in bringing the best in orthodontic care and compassion to their patients with their excellent training and carefully selected technology.

Orthodontics by Birth & Fletcher redefines orthodontic care with cutting-edge technology.  Through dental monitoring, the practice provides weekly virtual check-ins, minimizing office visits while maximizing efficiency and results. Their philosophy prioritizes expansion over extraction, ensuring a healthy, natural smile that lasts a lifetime. The team is committed to innovation, convenience, and exceptional outcomes — because your time and your smile matter.

Dr. Birth received her bachelor’s degree from West Texas State University and her Doctor of Dental Surgery from Baylor College of Dentistry. She also holds a master’s degree in orthodontics from the University of Oklahoma.

Dr. Fletcher holds a Bachelor of Science in biology from Howard University and a Doctor of Dental Surgery from Meharry Medical College. She completed her orthodontic residency at Howard University and received a Master of Public Health degree there.

Both Dr. Birth and Dr. Fletcher are board certified. This difficult and highly esteemed achievement requires hundreds of additional hours of preparation to demonstrate the judgment, skills, and knowledge required for providing the highest level of patient care. 

These efforts reassure their patients. They know their orthodontists are held to the highest clinical standards, stay up to date with the latest advancements, and consistently deliver high-quality care and results.  

Even after certification, both professionals pursue many hours of additional continuing education in order to stay current with the latest in research, treatments, and technology. They carefully select the highest standard in new innovations to make sure they benefit their first priority: their patients.

Dr. Birth and Dr. Fletcher recently added dental monitoring to their services. They value their patients’ time and know that time is the one resource that can’t be recaptured. This new technology helps streamline care for patients with braces and clear aligners so that patients spend less time making, traveling to and experiencing appointments.

Dental monitoring provides each patient with an attachment to their smart phone, which allows the patient to photograph their teeth. With the help of AI, the orthodontists determine the condition of each patient’s teeth in terms of hygiene. They can sometimes notice that a bracket has come loose and can alert the patient before it becomes a painful problem.

At Orthodontics by Birth & Fletcher, you can trust the orthodontist and staff to put your care first and offer the finest treatment along with the latest innovations.
