Start With an Evaluation
Your first visit includes an orthodontic examination and a discussion of what, if anything, needs correction.
Choose From Multiple Treatment Options
We offer braces, Invisalign®, early treatment, and other orthodontic approaches so care can match the patient rather than forcing every smile into one appliance.
Access Care From Mattituck
Our Southampton office gives North Fork patients another East End option for consultations, adjustments, aligner checks, and retention care.
You do not need severely crooked teeth to benefit from an assessment
Consider scheduling a consultation if you notice:
- Crowded, overlapping, or rotated teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- An overbite, underbite, crossbite, or open bite
- Teeth that do not meet evenly
- Teeth shifting after previous orthodontic treatment
- A child with developing crowding or bite concerns
- Difficulty keeping crowded areas clean
- Interest in braces or clear aligners
The value of the consultation is knowing where things stand. Treatment may be recommended now, later, or not at all.
You can review what happens at a new patient consultation before your visit.
Insurance and Financing
Understand the financial side before starting treatment
Orthodontic fees vary according to the complexity of treatment, the appliance used, and the length of care.
We accept most major credit cards and insurance plans, assist patients with insurance claims, and offer payment-plan options. Coverage depends on the individual insurance policy, so benefits should be confirmed for your specific plan.
Our financial and insurance information explains what to expect.

Treatment Options
Orthodontic Services Near Mattituck
Treatment depends on age, development, bite, and the movement your smile needs
Our orthodontic services cover everything from early monitoring to comprehensive treatment for adults.
Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces remain a versatile option for correcting crowding, spacing, rotated teeth, and many bite concerns.
Because the appliance stays fixed to the teeth, braces provide continuous control throughout treatment and can be used for children, teens, and adults.
Clear Braces
Clear ceramic braces work similarly to traditional braces but use less noticeable brackets.
They may appeal to teens and adults who want the control of fixed treatment with a more discreet appearance.
Invisalign®
For appropriate patients, Invisalign® in Southampton offers a removable clear-aligner option.
Aligners can be taken out for meals, brushing, and flossing, but consistent wear is essential. Whether Invisalign® or braces makes more sense depends on your bite, tooth positions, treatment goals, and the amount of control required.
Early Orthodontic Care
Some children benefit from orthodontic evaluation while their teeth and jaws are still developing.
Early care does not automatically mean immediate treatment. Sometimes the most appropriate plan is simply monitoring growth and eruption until the timing is right.
Adult Orthodontics
Adults may seek treatment because teeth have shifted, a bite problem was never corrected, or they simply want a straighter smile.
Our treatment options can be adapted around professional, family, and day-to-day responsibilities.
