Mint-Hill-Ortho-Jared

Dr. Jared Little

Dr. Jared grew up in Michigan where he attended college and dental school at the University of Michigan (Go Blue!). He escaped the Michigan winters and moved to San Francisco, California for his orthodontic specialty training, focusing on making beautiful smiles and perfect bites with braces and clear aligners for patients of all ages – Winning him a national Invisalign case competition the year he finished residency!

After completing his orthodontic residency, Dr. Jared ventured to Charlotte, North Carolina, where he fell in love with the beautiful weather, fun car culture, and his wife, Caroline. Since 2018, Dr. Jared leverages meticulous attention-to-detail, the latest technology, and an artistic eye to create smiles across the entire Charlotte-Metro area.

When not straightening things out at the office, Dr. Jared can be found golfing, cheering on the Panthers, working on cars and bikes, or at any motorsports event he can find.

Dr. Jared welcomes you to experience his customized, patient-centric orthodontic treatment at Mint Hill Orthodontics!

Patient Testimonials

“I love the staff. Very relatable and gives you a great peace of mind. The results are even better!”
-Robin G., Patient
“What a great team! Very attentive, clean environment, professional and welcoming, plus had various options for care and payments. Highly recommended!”
-Nickie H., Patient
“I love how friendly, professional and patient the staff was. I’ve never had braces before and I wanted Gold Braces and this was the only place here in Charlotte to do them. The Dentist explained the process and checked in on me to make sure I was ok as he prepped my teeth for my brackets. I highly recommend them!”
-Ta-Keema M., Patient
“HIGHLY recommend Mint Hill Orthodontics- the staff is amazing. Dr James is personable, incredibly professional, and not at all stuffy like other orthodontists tend to be. I immediately bonded with Katie when making my appointment because we are both rescue dog mamas, seriously the best staff ever! Although I simply needed a new retainer I WISH I had to come back (I’ll be visiting, just because)!”
-Lindsey L., Patient
