Advanced precision treatment for a lifetime of beautiful smiles.

Orthodontic treatment is not just for improving the aesthetics of your child’s smile; it is also to improve bad bites (malocclusions). Malocclusions occur as a result of tooth or jaw misalignment. Overbite, underbite, crossbite and overly crowded teeth are all examples of malocclusions that can affect their self-esteem and the way they smile, chew, clean their teeth or even talk.

Untreated malocclusions can result in a variety of common dental problems:

Problems brushing and flossing the teeth properly due to overcrowding
Unusual wear of tooth surfaces
Inefficient chewing functions
Abnormal stress on gum tissue
Damage to the bone that supports the teeth
Misalignment of the jaw that could lead to TMJ/TMD
CHipped or broken front teeth
Speech impediments

Types of braces.

Worried that braces will give your child that infamous “metal grin”? The good news is that today’s technology offers teenagers many options on the type of braces they wear – metal, clear, ceramic, plastic aligners, lingual, etc. – and Dr. Margolis can advise them which ones they need based upon their individual treatment plan.

Metal braces: These are strong and can withstand most types of treatments. Many teenagers enjoy having different colors placed on their braces to add personality.

Invisalign Teen® is a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners that provides a teeth-straightening alternative to the traditional metal braces.

Incognito® lingual braces system. Dr. Margolis is a certified provider of Incognito lingual braces, which are top-quality, precision appliances that attach to the backside of the teeth, where no one can see them. And they provide outstanding results that last for life.
