Global Smiles Orthodontics Office

Welcome to Global Smiles Orthodontics;Benefit from world-class specialty orthodontic care in your “backyard”!

Only 6% of dentists in the United States have acquired advanced specialty training to practice as an orthodontist. Our own Dr. Edgar Mendieta at Global Smiles Orthodontics in Columbus, Ohio, is among this select group of providers. As an orthodontist, Dr. Mendieta has developed considerable focused expertise and experience in diagnosing, treating, and managing those conditions that affect the position, alignment, and movement of the teeth and jaws.

There are many advantages to partnering with a specialty center like Global Smiles Orthodontics:

  • Benefit from our specialized knowledge. If you need help with your taxes, you likely don’t seek out the expertise of your electrician. Likewise, you don’t go to the eye doctor if your back hurts. Just as the other professions mentioned here are “specialists” in their trades or disciplines, we are specialists in a branch of dentistry known as orthodontics. You can trust that our recommendations are based on sound and highly focused knowledge of how the teeth and jaws work in tandem with each other and, in turn, support healthy chewing, speech, and an attractive smile
  • Detect and understand the root problem. Dr. Mendieta and our talented team understand that you cannot treat what you do not know. We use our significant technical background as well as advanced diagnostics and techniques to accurately detect the underlying causes of any oral and maxillofacial imbalances. From there, we can then develop a treatment plan that is effective and accounts for all the “parts” that add up to the “whole,” positioning this “system” of muscles, bones, and other tissues for optimal comfort, function, and esthetics
  • Recommend treatments that are in your best interests. Over time, more orthodontic appliances have been introduced as potentially viable treatment options. Orthodontists are in the best possible position to recommend the right unique treatment to address your smile’s unique needs and characteristics. You can trust that Dr. Mendieta’s recommendations are in the best interests of your smile and “self.” Furthermore, we take a long view. We are committed to those appliances, interventions, and treatment plans that sustain a lifetime of comfortable and healthy function, and confidence-boosting smiles

As a practice dedicated exclusively to orthodontic treatment, we also have an array of treatment options that cannot be found at other practices in Columbus and beyond the metro. We offer both “traditional” braces, as well as alternatives such as clear aligner therapy with Invisalign®. In addition, we offer proactive and early treatment; for instance, palatal expanders in our skilled hands effectively create more space in the jaw. This treatment minimizes future crowding and the need for dental extractions to accommodate developing teeth. We also partner with patients over the long term to prevent treated teeth from shifting back into their old placements with retainers services. We also treat a diverse range of patients, from young children and teens to adults.

All individuals have peace of mind. They get the right treatment at the right time – no nickel and diming and no overly aggressive or premature recommendations at this office!

Experience how Global Smiles Orthodontics is worlds apart from other providers in the best way possible!

Exciting Partnership Video

We’ve partnered with an orthodontic office called Global Smiles, and they actually allow our students to come in to just shadow at first to see if ortho is actually filled that they want to get into. So they allowed a student to come in. They do a paid internship so the student can get hands-on actually while they’re earning money to see if they’d like to become an orthodontic assistant. It’s on the west side of the city.



Join us in empowering future dental professionals and spreading smiles across our community!

Because you and
your SMILE are
going places!

Dr. Mendieta has lived and visited many places around the world before meeting his love, Tina. They both live locally, here in Columbus, with their puggle, Lulu. Dr. Mendieta received his bachelor’s degree from UCLA and went to dental school at the University of the Pacific in San Francisco. After practicing general dentistry, Dr. Mendieta became an orthodontist upon completion of an orthodontic specialty program at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. He was the past President of the Cleveland Society of Orthodontists and is the current President of the Ohio Association of Orthodontists.
