Comprehensive Care for Every Smile, at Every Age
At My Orthodontist, we are proud to offer a full range of orthodontic services designed to meet patients where they are. Whether you are bringing in a young child for an early evaluation, starting your own treatment as an adult, or finishing a journey that began with braces, we have the expertise and the technology to guide you every step of the way. As experienced orthodontists in NJ and PA, we treat patients of all ages across our many convenient locations, and we are committed to making great orthodontic care accessible to every family we serve.
Our Treatments
Our core orthodontic services cover the full spectrum of tooth and jaw alignment care, from early interceptive treatment to long-term retention. No matter where you or your child are in the process, our team is ready to build a personalized plan around your needs.
Orthodontic Treatment
Orthodontic treatment corrects misaligned teeth and jaws using a variety of appliances, including traditional metal braces, clear ceramic braces, and clear aligners like Invisalign. We use advanced digital imaging and iTero scanning technology to design treatment plans that are precise, efficient, and tailored to each patient. Whether you are dealing with crowding, spacing issues, an overbite, or an underbite, our goal is always the same: a healthy, functional, beautiful smile.
Teen Orthodontics
Adolescence is one of the most common times to begin orthodontic treatment, and our team has extensive experience working with teen patients. We offer metal braces, clear ceramic braces, and Invisalign Teen, giving families options that fit their lifestyle and preferences. We understand the unique social and developmental pressures teenagers face, and we work to make the experience as comfortable and confidence-building as possible.
Adult Orthodontics
It is never too late to improve your smile. Adult orthodontics is one of the fastest-growing areas of our practice, and we regularly treat patients in their 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond. For adults who prefer a more discreet option, we offer clear aligners and clear ceramic braces that deliver effective results without the look of traditional metal hardware. We take your schedule, your lifestyle, and your long-term oral health into account at every stage of treatment.
Retention
Treatment does not end the day your braces come off or you finish your last aligner tray. Retention is a critical phase of orthodontic care, and we guide every patient through it. We provide both fixed and removable retainers to help your teeth stay in their new positions for the long term. Skipping or rushing this phase is one of the most common reasons teeth shift after treatment, and we make sure our patients understand how to protect their results.
Pediatric Treatments
Interceptive orthodontics, sometimes called Phase 1 treatment or early orthodontics, is designed for children who still have a mix of baby teeth and permanent teeth. Rather than waiting until all the adult teeth have come in, interceptive treatment allows us to address developing problems early, while the jaw is still growing and more responsive to guidance.
Early treatment can correct issues like narrow arches, crossbites, and crowding before they become more complicated. In many cases, it reduces the length and complexity of treatment later on. We recommend that children receive their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. Most children who come in at that age will not need immediate treatment, but an early visit helps us monitor development and intervene at exactly the right time if needed.
Teeth Whitening
We offer professional teeth whitening to eligible patients who have recently completed orthodontic treatment or who are currently in clear aligner therapy. After investing in a straighter smile, many of our patients want their teeth to look their brightest, and we are happy to support that goal with professional-grade whitening options.
We offer whitening trays for at-home use and in-office whitening with Zoom. Our team will help you determine which option is the best fit based on your sensitivity level, timeline, and results goals. Whitening is not recommended for patients currently wearing braces, since brackets prevent even application and can lead to uneven coloration once removed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral from my dentist to be seen at My Orthodontist?
No. You are welcome to schedule a consultation directly with our office. No referral is necessary.
Do you offer free consultations?
Yes, we offer complimentary consultations for new patients. This visit gives our team a chance to evaluate your smile, discuss your goals, and explain any treatment options that may be right for you.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes, we accept most major orthodontic insurance plans. Our team will help you understand your benefits and maximize your coverage.
Do you offer payment plans?
We do. We offer in-house payment plans as well as financing through CareCredit to make treatment as affordable as possible for every patient.
At what age should my child first see an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an initial evaluation by age 7. Early visits allow us to monitor jaw and tooth development and plan ahead if intervention is needed.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
Treatment length varies widely depending on the complexity of each case. Most patients complete active treatment within one to two years, though some cases are shorter and some require more time. Your orthodontist will give you a personalized estimate at your consultation.
Can adults really benefit from orthodontic treatment?
Absolutely. Orthodontic treatment can be effective at any age. The mechanics of moving teeth work the same way in adults as in younger patients, and many adults find that improving their smile also improves their confidence and long-term oral health.
