Dr. Edward Eckley

Orthodontics isn’t just about straightening teeth—it’s about aligning function with long-term oral health. In a town like Summersville, where the New River Gorge draws outdoor enthusiasts, a reliable orthodontist means fewer trips to Charleston for routine adjustments or consultations. Along Northside Drive, Dr. Edward Eckley’s practice handles everything from early interceptive treatment for kids to adult braces and clear aligners, without the back-and-forth of referral chains. For families juggling school schedules or weekend adventures, having a local option for retainers, expanders, or even TMJ evaluations cuts down on logistical headaches. The office sits just off the main drag, where the road widens enough to avoid the usual downtown congestion.

Booking a consultation or follow-up here skips the hassle of city traffic, and calls to (304) 872-4170 connect directly to the front desk—no automated menus or call centers. First-time patients might want to check the map ahead of time, as the building’s setback from the road can be easy to miss if you’re relying on landmarks alone. For precise directions, the Google map pin is the most reliable reference. Around here, folks tend to pick their orthodontist once and stick with them—so it’s good to know there’s an option that doesn’t require a scenic drive every time.
