Services
Invisalign
Invisalign uses clear plastic trays to straighten teeth without wires or brackets. This treatment addresses overbites, crooked teeth, and spacing issues through a series of custom aligners. Patients benefit from discreet, removable appliances that allow normal eating and oral hygiene routines.
Braces
Metal and ceramic braces correct severe alignment issues using brackets and wires. This method effectively treats overcrowding, underbites, and complex jaw problems. Treatment duration typically ranges from 18-24 months with regular adjustments.
TADs
Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs) are small screws placed in jawbone to assist tooth movement. They provide fixed points for precise corrections of complex cases. TADs reduce treatment time and improve outcomes for patients with severe misalignment.
Surgical Orthodontics
Surgical orthodontics corrects severe jaw discrepancies through combined orthodontic and surgical treatment. This addresses functional issues like difficulty chewing and speech problems. Digital imaging ensures precise pre-surgical planning for optimal results.
TMJ Treatment
TMJ treatment addresses temporomandibular joint disorders causing pain and dysfunction. Customized plans may include orthodontic adjustments, splints, or physical therapy. The goal is to alleviate symptoms like headaches, jaw popping, and chronic pain.

I honestly believe these reviews are fake to maintain a perfect review score. This place is awful, I think the only good part is the staff is quite nice. The main orthodontist there, Dr. Girish Deshpande is
Everything was going well until he came in, right from the get go he began making fun of my teeth and rudely poking and proding at my mouth, and by rudely I mean he was standing there with one hand forcefully opening and closing my mouth and making a disgusted face while staff was watching. I also felt like he was angry the whole time at my, not sure what I did, maybe it was the fact

I got my braces when I was 14 at Harborn Dental, Ive had them on for a year and a half. My braces are now off and Im very happy with the outcome. I am thankful for Harumi, Dr.G and the amazing staff who helped take care of me and my braces. My sister will also be getting her braces at Harborn Dental, and I am positive that she is in good hands.
