Services
Traditional Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces use high-grade stainless steel brackets and archwires to straighten teeth effectively. These braces offer durability and precise tooth movement control. Patients can personalize their treatment with colored elastics for a unique appearance. Modern designs provide greater comfort compared to older versions while maintaining cost-effectiveness.
Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, removable clear aligners to gradually straighten teeth without traditional braces. This discreet solution allows normal eating and oral hygiene routines. The smooth plastic material prevents mouth abrasions while providing virtually invisible orthodontic treatment for both teens and adults.
Clear Ceramic Braces
Clear ceramic braces offer a less visible alternative to metal braces using tooth-colored brackets. These braces maintain effectiveness while improving aesthetics, particularly suitable for adult patients. The transparent design blends with natural teeth while providing reliable orthodontic correction for appropriate candidates.
Self-Ligating Braces
Self-ligating braces use specialized clips instead of elastic ties to hold the archwire in place. This design reduces friction and allows more efficient tooth movement. Patients benefit from fewer adjustment appointments and potentially shorter treatment times while maintaining the effectiveness of traditional braces.
Early Orthodontic Treatment
Early intervention orthodontics addresses developing dental issues in children aged 7-10. This proactive approach guides jaw growth and creates space for permanent teeth. Timely treatment can prevent more complex issues later while establishing proper dental development patterns for improved long-term outcomes.

I just wanted to say openly that Dr. Hirsch is an orthodontist's orthodontist. As a fellow orthodontist, I can say that he cares very much about providing the best of care for his patients. He is extremely ethical, knowledgeable, and contributes to his profession while helping other orthodontists. He is highly recommended.
