At Ashton & Hudgins Orthodontics, we are proud to carry on a longstanding tradition of excellence in orthodontic care for families across Southern Illinois. Dr. Ashton, a Carterville native, returned to her hometown after completing her residency in 2022 and has been committed to serving the community where she grew up. After practicing as Dr. Hudgins’ associate for nearly two years, she purchased the practice, and today both doctors work side by side, continuing the legacy built by Dr. Nolan, Dr. Phelps, and Dr. Hudgins. Together, they have helped thousands of patients achieve healthy, confident smiles, and they look forward to creating many more.

Our team is dedicated to delivering personalized, state-of-the-art treatment in a warm, family-owned environment. Both Dr. Ashton and Dr. Hudgins are Board Certified Orthodontists and active members of leading professional organizations, ensuring our patients benefit from the latest techniques and technology. With offices in Carbondale and Du Quoin, we offer a full range of treatment options, including traditional braces and clear aligners, tailored to each patient’s unique needs. Backed by a highly trained, long-standing staff, our mission is simple: to provide the highest quality orthodontic care with the comfort, professionalism, and personal attention you deserve.
