At Garfinkle Orthodontics, we offer comprehensive orthodontic care, including traditional braces, clear braces, Invisalign, and modern treatment options for children, teens, and adults.
Braces are fixed appliances that work especially well for more complex alignment and bite concerns. Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners, making it a popular choice at Garfinkle Orthodontics for teens and adults seeking a discreet option.
Treatment time varies for each patient. Most braces or Invisalign cases at Garfinkle Orthodontics are completed in 12–24 months, depending on your individual orthodontic needs.
Absolutely. Orthodontic care isn’t just for kids — many patients at Garfinkle Orthodontics are adults who choose braces or Invisalign to improve their smile and oral health.
During your consultation at Garfinkle Orthodontics, we’ll evaluate your tooth alignment, bite, and smile goals to determine whether Invisalign is the right fit for your lifestyle and needs.
