Starting orthodontic treatment can feel intimidating, especially if you’re unsure what to expect. Between scheduling appointments, adjusting to braces or aligners, and learning new oral care routines, it’s easy to feel a little overwhelmed.
But at New England Orthodontic Specialists, we believe your journey to a beautiful smile should be enjoyable and stress-free from the very first visit. Dr. Diana Esshaki and Dr. Neil Flückiger have built their practice around comfort, convenience, and compassion, ensuring patients in Beverly, Lynn, Salem, Hamilton, and Topsfield feel supported every step of the way.
Personalized Care for Every Patient
Every smile is unique, which means every orthodontic treatment plan should be, too. From the moment you walk through the doors at New England Orthodontic Specialists, you’ll experience a level of individualized care that sets us apart. Dr. Esshaki and Dr. Flückiger take time to understand your goals, preferences, and lifestyle before recommending a treatment plan. Whether you’re interested in metal braces, clear braces, or Invisalign, your treatment will be tailored to your exact needs.
Personalized care also means flexibility. If you’re a busy professional in Beverly or a student in Salem, we make scheduling easy with flexible appointment times and multiple office locations. We know life doesn’t stop for orthodontic visits, so we work with you to find appointment times that fit seamlessly into your day.
A Friendly, Relaxed First Visit
For many patients, the first appointmentcan be the most stressful, but it doesn’t have to be. Your complimentary consultation at New England Orthodontic Specialists is designed to be comfortable, educational, and pressure-free. During this visit, you’ll meet our friendly team, get to know Dr. Esshaki and Dr. Flückiger, and learn more about your options for achieving a confident smile.
We’ll take diagnostic photos and digital scans using state-of-the-art technology, so there’s no need for messy impressions. Then, we’ll explain your potential treatment options, including metal braces, clear braces, and Invisalign, along with estimated costs and timelines. You’ll leave your first visit with all the information you need; there’s no stress, no confusion, and no surprises.
Advanced Technology for a Smooth Experience
Technology plays a major role in making orthodontic treatment stress-free. We use the latest digital tools to improve accuracy, comfort, and efficiency. Our digital scanning technology replaces traditional molds, capturing precise 3D images of your teeth in minutes. This allows Dr. Esshaki and Dr. Flückiger to design custom treatment plans and ensure your braces or Invisalign aligners fit perfectly.
We also use advanced treatment tracking systems that let us monitor your progress closely and make adjustments when needed. This precision helps shorten treatment times and reduces the number of office visits, making your experience more convenient.
Clear Communication at Every Step
A big part of keeping orthodontic treatment stress-free is clear, open communication. Our team makes sure you understand each stage of your treatment; you’ll know what’s happening, why it matters, and what to expect next. We’re always available to answer questions about your braces, aligners, or oral hygiene routine.
Parents especially appreciate the transparency we provide during their child’s orthodontic journey. From updates after appointments to progress reports, we make sure families stay informed. Our goal is to empower you with knowledge so you can feel confident and relaxed throughout your time with us.
Flexible and Transparent Financing
Finances are one of the biggest sources of stress when it comes to orthodontic treatment. That’s why New England Orthodontic Specialists offers flexible, transparent payment options. We’ll work with you to create a financial plan that fits your budget with no hidden fees or surprise charges.
Our team helps you understand your insurance coverage and maximize your benefits. We also offer interest-free payment plans and options for automatic monthly payments to make managing costs simple and stress-free. We want your focus to be on your smile, not your wallet.
Comfortable, Modern Office Environments
Each of our offices in Beverly, Lynn, Salem, Hamilton, and Topsfield has been designed with your comfort in mind. We know that a welcoming, calming atmosphere makes all the difference in reducing stress. From the moment you walk in, you’ll be greeted by our friendly front desk team and invited to relax in our clean, comfortable waiting areas.
Our treatment areas are bright, modern, and equipped with the latest orthodontic technology. We take pride in maintaining an environment where patients of all ages, from kids to adults, feel comfortable and cared for. Whether it’s your first visit or your fifteenth, we want you to look forward to coming in.
Treatment Options That Fit Your Lifestyle
We understand that different patients have different needs, which is why we offer a variety of treatment options to keep your orthodontic experience stress-free.
Metal Braces
Our modern metal braces are smaller, smoother, and more comfortable than ever before. They deliver precise results efficiently and are a great option for patients who want a proven, reliable treatment.
Clear Braces
For patients who prefer a more discreet look, clear braces provide the same effectiveness as traditional metal braces but with translucent brackets that blend in with your teeth. They’re ideal for teens and adults who want a subtle treatment option without compromising performance.
Invisalign
For maximum flexibility, Invisalign clear aligners offer a nearly invisible, removable alternative to braces. These aligners are custom-made for comfort and convenience, allowing you to eat, brush, and floss normally. Invisalign is especially popular among working professionals who want to maintain a polished, confident appearance during treatment.
By offering multiple treatment types, Dr. Esshaki and Dr. Flückiger make it easy to find the right fit for your goals, schedule, and lifestyle, keeping the process as smooth as possible.

Continuous Support from Start to Finish
Our commitment to making orthodontic treatment stress-free doesn’t stop once your braces or aligners go on. Throughout your treatment, we provide ongoing guidance, encouragement, and support. Regular check-ins ensure your progress stays on track, and our team is always available if you have questions or concerns.
We also provide detailed instructions on how to care for your braces or Invisalign aligners, what foods to avoid, and how to maintain great oral hygiene. By giving you all the tools you need, we help prevent issues before they happen, saving you time and stress in the long run.
Convenient Locations for Easy Access
Accessibility is a key part of making orthodontic treatment stress-free. With offices spread out across Massachusetts’s North Shore, New England Orthodontic Specialists makes it easy to find a location that’s close to home, school, or work. Each office is equipped with the same technology and staffed by the same dedicated team, so you can expect consistent, high-quality care no matter where you go.
Having multiple offices also allows us to accommodate busy schedules and last-minute appointments. If you need to adjust your visit due to work, school, or family commitments, we’ll do our best to find a convenient solution.
Building Confidence and Smiles for Life
At the heart of everything we do is a genuine desire to help patients feel confident, not just in their smiles, but throughout the entire orthodontic process. Orthodontic treatment can be a life-changing experience, and we want every patient to look back and remember it as positive, comfortable, and rewarding.
Dr. Diana Esshaki and Dr. Neil Flückiger take pride in creating an environment where patients of all ages feel valued and supported. Whether it’s a child getting their first set of braces or an adult choosing Invisalign, our goal is to make every step of the journey as smooth and stress-free as possible.
