Charlotte's Top Orthodontic Professionals Dr. Meredith Quimby and Dr. Kelly Collins
Quimby & Collins Orthodontics is led by two female orthodontists — what has that partnership meant for the practice and its patients?
- From the moment Dr. Quimby and Dr. Collins met at The Ohio State University Orthodontic Program, it was clear they shared something special: an uncommon combination of intellectual curiosity, competitive drive, and a genuine passion for patient care. Two decades later, that partnership has grown into one of the most trusted and respected orthodontic practices in the greater Charlotte region.*
- Together, they bring fifty years of combined expertise, advanced training in the latest orthodontic technologies, and a collaborative approach that means every patient benefits from the knowledge and perspective of not one, but two exceptional clinicians. Patients and families — of all ages and backgrounds — have made Quimby & Collins Orthodontics their home, and the relationships built here over the years speak for themselves.*
- The doctors will tell you that the best thing about their partnership is simple: they make each other better. They challenge one another, inspire one another, and hold one another to the highest possible standard — and their patients are the ultimate beneficiaries of that dynamic.*
- Two brilliant minds. Two sets of skilled hands. One shared mission — to give every patient a smile they are proud to wear for a lifetime. That is the Quimby & Collins difference, and it always will be.*
- ALL of the Above

Why choose an orthodontist?
All Orthodontists are dentists; however, NO dentist is an orthodontist.
Dr. Quimby and Dr. Collins are orthodontists who practice orthodontics. With their extensive training in tooth movement and craniofacial development, they are experts in the orthodontic industry. Dr. Quimby achieved 4 years of dental school at U.N.C. Chapel and Dr. Collins at Harvard. Both Dr. Collins and Dr. Quimby attended a 3-year residency at Ohio State University where they learned how the facial bones and jaws change with age, as well as how airway is impacted. With this knowledge, in combination with their extensive biomechanics education, they have developed diagnoses and treatment plans to allow for or modify skeletal development while aligning the teeth to fit the soft tissue. Additionally, they obtain numerous hours of continuing education each year. For example, Dr. Quimby has recently undergone training in myofunctional therapy and is working on a myofunctional certification. Dr. Collins has received training in airway education and will be heading to Las Vegas for advanced training in temporary anchorage devices (TADS).
