All About Deptford Township, NJ
The Dutch explorer Cornelius Jacobsen May led some of the first European settlers to the Deptford area, which soon came under British colonial rule. The township was first formed in 1695 and covered an area that included many other neighboring modern towns. Deptford Township got its name from the English port of Deptford along the River Thames.
The Clement Oak in Deptford is an oak tree estimated to be over 500 years old, and it was the site of the first hot air balloon landing on the continent in 1793. Jean-Pierre Blanchard completed a flight to Deptford from Philadelphia, carrying a personal letter from George Washington to deliver to the owner of whatever property Blanchard happened to arrive at. That made it the first piece of airmail delivered in the U.S.!
My Orthodontist Deptford Township Location
We love serving the people of Deptford Township and helping them achieve their properly aligned smile goals. Whether that means traditional metal braces to treat a complex orthodontic problem or low-profile clear aligners to treat something simpler, we can help. We also help patients who are in the retention phase of their treatment. Check this map if you need directions to our Deptford Township location, or you can learn more about us on our business page.
If you aren’t sure which type of braces is best for your situation, we’re happy to help you find out at an initial consultation. We will determine what kind of treatment your smile will need. Traditional braces with metal wires and brackets are often still the best option for complex cases, but many patients are good candidates for treatment with clear ceramic braces, lingual braces, or Invisalign.
Explore Our Town
A great place to learn about the area is the Museum of American History. It’s not a huge museum but it contains historical artifacts and fossils ranging from pre-Columbian times to the early 1900s. There’s also a nice playground in the back of the museum if the kids want to play.
If you want to get an exciting and very intense workout, head over to Launch, a giant indoor trampoline park. It’s a great place to take the kids and even a good way to do something different for a date! Try out the arcade or a round of laser tag when you’re done with the trampolines, or just see how high you can bounce.
