Genecov Orthodontics

What Genecov Orthodontics does

Genecov Orthodontics is a privately-held orthodontic practice operating two clinical offices in Dallas and Plano, Texas, serving the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. The firm has been in continuous operation for 62 years and is led by Dr. Jeffrey Genecov, DDS, MSD, a board-certified orthodontist and Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics who also serves as orthodontic director at the International Craniofacial Institute and as a Clinical Assistant Professor at Baylor College of Dentistry/Texas A&M University. The practice provides comprehensive orthodontic care across three primary patient cohorts — children, adolescents, and adults — with a treatment menu spanning traditional metal braces, self-ligating braces, clear ceramic braces, lingual braces, Invisalign clear aligners, and specialty services including surgical orthodontics, craniofacial orthodontics for cleft lip/palate patients, TMJ-TMD treatment, and sleep apnea oral appliances. Supporting the clinical workflow is a hardware stack comprising three intraoral scanners (iTero Digital Impression System), a 20-second CBCT cone-beam scanner, diode laser tissue sculpting equipment, and TADs (Temporary Anchorage Devices), all of which are industry-standard third-party systems rather than proprietary technology.

The business is monetized through fee-for-service orthodontic treatment, with payment plans offered on a monthly cadence and direct insurance claim processing for major carriers; pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by case complexity. Patient acquisition is overwhelmingly referral-driven — word-of-mouth, community reputation, and professional referrals from the craniofacial, academic, and Smile for a Lifetime Foundation ecosystems — supplemented by a digital presence on the practice website, Facebook (GenecovGrin), and Google Reviews. Operational scale is modest: firmographic data lists 1–10 employees while source material confirms two orthodontists, six clinical assistants (142 cumulative years of experience), and administrative staff. Geographic scope is limited to the DFW metroplex with two physical locations and a 24/7 emergency on-call service for existing patients. The firm is family-owned with no external investors, no funding rounds, no parent company, and no subsidiaries.

Products and services

• Traditional Metal Braces Standard stainless steel braces using metal brackets and archwires, the most common orthodontic treatment for correcting misaligned teeth and bite issues in children, teens, and adults.
• Self-Ligating Braces Braces made from the same materials as traditional braces but using specialized clips instead of elastics, reducing friction and the number of appointments required during treatment.
• Clear (Ceramic) Braces Braces made from clear materials that are less visible than metal braces, used primarily on older teenagers and adults with cosmetic concerns.
• Lingual Braces Customized braces hidden behind the teeth that are invisible when smiling, ideal for athletes, models, actors, musicians, and professionals who need a discreet option.
• Invisalign Clear Aligners Series of invisible, removable clear plastic aligners that straighten teeth without metal brackets or wires, available for teens and adults.
• WildSmiles Designer Braces Specially designed brackets available in fun shapes including stars, hearts, soccer balls, footballs, flowers, and Super-Diamonds that allow patients to personalize their orthodontic experience.
• Two-Phase Orthodontic Treatment Specialized process combining tooth straightening and facial changes, with Phase One focusing on jaw development and Phase Two ensuring proper tooth positioning with full braces.
• Surgical Orthodontics (Orthognathic Surgery) Corrective jaw surgery coordinated with an oral and maxillofacial surgeon to reposition the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both to correct skeletal imbalances affecting bite, facial symmetry, and jaw function.
• Craniofacial Orthodontics Sub-specialty orthodontic treatment for patients with cleft lip and palate and other craniofacial birth defects, delivered as part of a multidisciplinary team with speech pathologists, oral surgeons, and craniofacial plastic surgeons.
• TMJ-TMD Treatment Treatment for Temporomandibular Disorder addressing jaw pain, ear pain, headaches, clicking/popping sounds, muscle spasms, and jaw alignment issues.
• Sleep Apnea Treatment Treatment for sleep apnea including oral devices that position the mouth to prevent throat blockage, with referral to sleep apnea specialists for severe cases.
• Palatal Expander Orthodontic appliance that widens the upper jaw by putting gentle pressure on upper molars through key adjustments, worn for several months to solidify expansion.
• TADs (Temporary Anchorage Devices) Small titanium anchors used in orthodontic cases to help achieve quicker tooth movement with more efficiency and comfort, used in addition to or as an alternative to headgear.
• Orthodontic Retainers Custom-made retainers (removable or fixed) that hold teeth in correct positions after braces treatment, available as traditional wire, aligner-style (Essix), or fixed bonded types.
• iTero Digital Impression System Digital scanning service using a compact hand-held wand with radiation-free laser technology to capture highly accurate 3D digital impressions of teeth and soft tissue structures in 2-3 minutes, eliminating traditional goop/gag impressions.
• CBCT Imaging Digital Cone Beam CT imaging service providing quick, comfortable dental imaging with one 20-second scan for complete diagnosis, using less radiation than traditional CT scanners.
• Diode Laser Treatment Specialized diode laser procedure to safely remove excess gum tissue for better aesthetics and function, used for ideal bracket placement, impacted teeth exposure, and aesthetic gingival recontouring without needles.
• Herbst Appliance Fixed appliance worn by younger growing children for about 12-15 months to reduce overbite by encouraging lower jaw forward and upper molars backward.
• Forsus Fatigue Resistant Device Alternative to headgear promoting growth in adolescents to eliminate excessive overbites, improve tooth fit, and possibly prevent need for jaw surgery.
• Twin Block Appliance Functional appliance involving two separate pieces for upper and lower arch working together to advance lower jaw position, worn full time including while eating.
