Orthodontics

In Totowa, NJ

Our dental practice proudly offers Interceptive Pediatric Treatment, also known as Early Orthodontics, a proactive approach designed to guide your child’s dental and jaw development at the optimal time. The American Board of Orthodontics recommends that children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7, allowing us to identify concerns early, often before they become more complex. By evaluating growth during this important stage, we can address issues such as crowding, bite problems, or jaw misalignment while your child is still developing.

Early treatment can reduce the need for more extensive orthodontics later, shorten overall treatment time, and promote healthier, more confident smiles as your child grows. Our gentle, customized approach focuses on comfort, education, and long-term results, giving families peace of mind and children the best possible foundation for a lifetime of oral health.

Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease. They also function better when you chew, preventing uneven wear and reducing the risk of jaw pain. At The Dental Loft, we use the latest in orthodontic technology, including DIBS AI, a digital system that allows our team to plan your treatment with precision, ensuring optimal results. Whether you choose traditional braces or clear aligners, the journey to a healthier, more confident smile is easier and more comfortable than ever.

Ceramic braces are clear, wire-based appliances that orthodontists use to correct crooked, gapped, or crowded teeth and create an aligned smile. Similar to traditional braces, ceramic braces gradually apply pressure over time to straighten teeth but use clear or colored brackets and wires that match the shade of your own teeth. Due to their translucent appearance, ceramic braces are an attractive alignment option for patients looking for a less noticeable alternative to metal braces.

Our practice is proud to offer Invisalign, a modern and discreet way to straighten your teeth without the look or feel of traditional braces. Using a series of custom-made, clear aligners, Invisalign gently shifts your teeth into place while allowing you to eat, brush, and smile with confidence. Each aligner is tailored to your unique treatment plan, ensuring comfort and effective results. Whether you're looking to correct crowding, spacing, or bite issues, Invisalign provides a convenient, nearly invisible solution that fits seamlessly into your lifestyle.

When a tooth hasn’t emerged on its own, most commonly a canine, exposure and bonding can help guide it into place. As part of your orthodontic treatment, we work closely with a trusted oral surgeon who gently exposes the impacted tooth. Once the tooth is accessible, our orthodontic team places a small bracket or chain that allows us to carefully guide it into its proper position over time. This collaborative approach plays an important role in creating a healthy, aligned smile while keeping your treatment as smooth and efficient as possible. With careful planning and coordination between specialists, we ensure a comfortable experience and predictable results from start to finish.
