Dr. David Schawe

Orthodontics isn’t what it used to be. Dr. David Schawe keeps things simple inside the General Hospital complex on First Colonial Road, where the focus stays on moving teeth—not on flashy gimmicks. The practice sits at 1060 First Colonial Rd, Virginia Beach, a spot that’s easy to reach whether you’re coming from the oceanfront or the inland corridors. Most people find themselves here after a referral, or after realizing that a crooked smile isn’t just about looks—it’s about how your jaw feels after years of compensation.

Metal brackets and clear aligners are the usual suspects, but the real work happens in the planning. X-rays and digital scans turn into treatment maps that actually make sense, something you don’t always get from clinics that rush through the initial consult. Retainers, expanders, and minor surgical prep round out the menu, though you won’t hear a sales pitch for anything beyond what the bite demands. The hospital setting keeps the overhead predictable, which means the conversation stays on the teeth, not the price tag.

Appointments move quickly once the plan is set, and if you need to adjust timing, a call to the office usually sorts it out. Directions are straightforward—just pull up the map and follow the signs to the hospital lot. When you’re ready to book or ask about retainer adjustments, reach them at 757-395-8500.
