I am fortunate to have attained the level of an orthodontic specialist in the dental profession and equally honored to be recognized by the American Board of Orthodontics as a Board Certified orthodontist for demonstrating continuing expertise in my field. I appreciate being able to provide such a life-changing service to my patients. Nothing compares to having a positive impact on so many different types of peoples lives. It is very rewarding to see the outcome of my vision and plan in a patients beautiful smile.

My profession is a direct reflection of my personality. I enjoy meeting new people and getting to know them as individuals while helping them achieve their smile goals. I am excited about approaching each patient with a customized treatment plan to meet their smile expectations.

The challenge of diagnosing issues and developing solutions is one that I embrace daily! To do this effectively, I have continued my education beyond my formal schooling in numerous ways. I have advanced training in light wire self-ligating braces technology and Invisalign as a cosmetic treatment alternative. Additionally, as a member of several professional organizations, I am able to meet with the brightest minds in orthodontics and dentistry, providing me with a variety of perspectives on the newest trends in the field of orthodontics.

I have put together an exceptionally talented team of caring professionals. Each member has a defined role in our office to make the patient experience beyond what they would expect. We treat each patient and their family according to their unique needs. Each person who walks in the door becomes a very special part of the Covino Orthodontics family.

I am a native of Dobbs Ferry, New York, and havecalled Solebury, PA my home since 2000. My wife, Kathy, and I have three children. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my wife and children, golfing, bike riding, and doing home improvement projects.

Being active in my community is a great way to give back to those who have been so supportive to me. As a practice, Covino Orthodontics is proud to sponsor many local sport teams and participate in various school fairs, health information events, and fund-raisers to increase awareness of the importance of orthodontics. Additionally, I volunteer my time as the school dentist for our local public school district.

Welcome to Covino Orthodontics! My name is Bandit. I was given to Dr. Covino by his children nearly 20 years ago when he first started his practice to welcome patients into the office. I always like to be petted and I move a round sometimes so try to find me when you come in for your visit.

I assist new patients and their families in the process of choosing orthodontic treatment. My goal is to help our new families understand the value of a beautiful smile while making the entire new patient process a convenient and pleasant experience. As the newest addition to the Covino Orthodontics team, Ive had a lot of fun getting to know all of our patients and their families. I love explaining all of the intricacies of orthodontics to patients who are so interested. Experiencing that first look in the mirror with a patient after de-banding is so rewarding! Dr. Covino is so honest in his care and concern for each and every patient. His easy-going nature, lively conversation and quick wit put his patients immediately at ease. I feel very fortunate to be a part of his team.

Don't worry! Braces aren't nearly as scary as you may think. In fact, braces today come in a variety of styles, materials, and colors, making life with braces much easier, more comfortable, and even more stylish than in the past.

Orthodontic braces are a big part of life for many people your age. While braces may have had a bad reputation in the past, today's braces make it easy to look good and feel good! Please contact our practice to schedule your next orthodontic checkup.

Orthodontic treatment is no longer just for teens. In fact, the American Association of Orthodontists states that one in five orthodontic patients is over the age of 21. Many adults are choosing to receive treatment because they understand the importance of maintaining their health, and they want to feel better about their appearance. Adults everywhere are taking advantage of the opportunity to receive orthodontic care, and now you can too.

For many adults, the thought of having metal braces is enough to discourage them from receiving treatment. However, today's orthodontic treatment options offer a variety of braces and appliances that are comfortable, aesthetic, and customized to meet your needs. Types of braces include:

The main difference to remember when treating adults or children and teens, is that in younger patients the jawbones are still developing. For adults, these bones have stopped growing, which may mean the possibility of orthognathic surgery to align the jawbones. Other differences include:

Our practice also recognizes that adults and children have different needs, and require a different level of attention and care. We will work with you to ensure that you receive the most appropriate treatments, and that your needs are met with understanding and respect from us.
