Dr. Garrison Copeland grew up with a severe overbite and misaligned teeth, and that personal experience is what drives everything we do at Garrison Orthodontics.

Growing up with a severe overbite, I know firsthand how much a smile can impact self-confidence. That personal experience inspired me to become an orthodontist and help others feel great about their smiles. After studying at Morehouse, Howard, and completing my orthodontic training at Case Western, I've been honored to treat thousands of patients over the years.
I created Garrison Orthodontics as a modern, welcoming space where every patient feels seen, heard, and cared for. My mission is to help as many people smile as possible, with compassion and expertise guiding every step.

"We consulted with three different orthodontists before choosing Dr. Copeland and his team, and we are so glad we did. From the very first visit, it was clear this practice stood far above the others in every way. The doctor is incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, and detail-oriented. He really took the time to fully explain our options, answered every question we had and created a plan for my son that showed genuine expertise and care. The entire staff is professional, friendly, and efficient. My son felt so relaxed and cared for in their chair. Every member of the staff is so hospitable and pleasant. Payments were straightforward and well priced. They also have availability on Saturdays. The office is spotless and welcoming — you immediately feel comfortable and well-cared for. What really set them apart is how personable and attentive everyone is. They made us feel like valued patients rather than just another appointment - others felt like “braces factories” but not here. We’re thrilled to be starting my son’s braces journey with Dr. Copeland and highly recommend him to anyone!"

"Dr. Copeland and his staff were kind, efficient and thorough. We came in for a consultation and my daughter was taken to get xrays and photos taken of her teeth, while I filled out new patient paperwork. As soon as we were done we waited maybe 3 minutes and we were sitting with Dr. Copeland as he went over the treatment plan. He went over the insurance process and cost and answered questions we both had. The entire visit was maybe 20 minutes total, and my daughter is actually excited about getting braces now."
