Straighten Your Smile & Support Long-Term Oral Health

Straight teeth can help you take better care of your mouth. When your bite is properly aligned, it’s easier to brush and floss effectively, reduce strain on your jaw, and avoid uneven wear on your teeth.

Whether you’re looking into braces for your child or exploring Invisalign clear aligners for yourself, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

What Is Orthodontic Treatment?

Orthodontics is the area of dentistry focused on correcting misaligned teeth and jaw issues. With the help of braces or clear aligners, we can gently move your teeth into their ideal positions over time.

We offer a range of orthodontic options tailored to your needs. During your consultation with Dr. Halpern, he’ll walk you through your choices and recommend a plan that aligns with your oral health needs, lifestyle, and personal preferences.

Why Alignment Matters

Orthodontic care does more than improve your smile—it also helps protect your overall dental health. Misalignment can lead to:

Uneven wear on your teeth
Difficulty chewing or speaking
Increased risk of cavities and gum issues
Jaw discomfort or tension

Addressing these concerns early can help you avoid more complex dental issues down the road.

Who Can Benefit from Orthodontics?

It’s a common misconception that orthodontics is just for teenagers. In reality, people of all ages can benefit from straighter teeth:

Children: Early evaluations (around age 7) can help us identify and manage developing concerns before they become bigger problems.
Teens: Orthodontic treatment during the growth years is ideal for correcting bite issues, gaps, or crowding.
Adults: It’s never too late. With discreet options like Invisalign, adults can straighten their teeth with minimal disruption to daily life.

Your Orthodontic Options & Treatment Time

The length of treatment varies based on age, tooth movement goals, and which appliance you choose. Most patients complete treatment in 12–24 months, with regular check-ins to monitor progress and make adjustments.

Sticking to your appointment schedule and following at-home care instructions helps ensure the best results.

These braces are similar to traditional ones but use clips instead of rubber bands to hold the wire in place. This can reduce pressure and may shorten treatment time. They’re often used for more complex bite correction.

Designed to blend in with your teeth, ceramic braces offer a lower-profile option for patients seeking a more discreet appearance. They work like metal braces but require a bit more care to keep them clean and intact.

Clear aligners offer a convenient, virtually invisible way to straighten teeth. They’re removable for meals and brushing, making them a popular choice for both adults and teens. Aligners are typically worn for 20–22 hours a day, with a new set every 10 days.
