For most people, achieving a healthy, beautiful smile is the reason for receiving orthodontic care. If you're self-conscious about your smile, correcting your concerns with braces will greatly improve the way you look and feel.
When your treatment is complete, you will have the smile you've always dreamed of and the confidence to show it off! We also want you to feel comfortable and confident throughout your entire orthodontic experience, and our practice is dedicated to making sure that you receive the quality care you deserve.
Orthodontic appliances are made of metal, ceramic, or plastic. They may be removable or they may be brackets bonded to the teeth. By placing a constant, gentle force in a carefully controlled direction, braces slowly move teeth to the proper position.
Gone are the days when a metal band with a bracket was placed around each tooth. You can now choose clear or metal brackets and, in some cases, the color of your appliance. Wires are far less noticeable, and the latest materials are designed to move teeth faster with more comfort. Today, any age is a great age to wear braces!
Treatment time varies and can last between one and three years, depending on several factors including age, treatment method, and how minor or severe your case is. A big factor in a successful treatment is you! The more involved and diligent you are, the more efficient your treatment will be. For children, receiving interceptive or early treatment can also help provide a quicker treatment time.

Dr. Friedman's office is wonderful. The staff is very friendly, the office is spotless and the location is perfect. The kids walk themselves there right from school! It's always easy to schedule appointments and he goes out of his way to do adjustments when needed, even if last minute. Would highly recommend!

From the minute you walk into the office, you know you are in good hands. Everyone on staff cares about the patient; they make a potentially frightening experience so pleasant and easy. My daughter even looked forward to coming back--and we came all the way from New Jersey!!

I have been coming to Dr. Friedman's office for just about 13 years. All 4 of my children have received their braces with him. Our experience has been awesome. The office is conveniently located, hours are easy to make appoints. All staff are friendly! I currently have 3 kids with braces - the office worked with me to make payment arrangements.

The most pleasant dental experience we've had to date! The staff was great, the office was clean, the wait time was minimal, but we were most impressed with Dr. Friedman himself. So courteous and kind, and his expertise was evident right from the beginning. He was able to transform my daughter's smile/teeth/facial structure even before applying the braces! I cannot wait to see the full transformation after braces! My daughter looks and feels beautiful. Thank you, Dr. Friedman!!

Dr. Friedman was my orthodontist for a few years and I also had the privilege of working for him for nearly 5 years after that as an orthodontic assistant! The practice is friendly, easy to schedule with, clean, and Dr. Friedman is at the top of his game. I would recommend him - every time - to friends, family or even strangers! :)
