Comprehensive Orthodontic Services Near Essex
At New England Orthodontic Specialists, we offer a variety of treatment options to fit your lifestyle and orthodontic needs. Whether you prefer the durability of braces or the flexibility of Invisalign, we have a solution for you.
Invisalign: A Clear Alternative to Braces
If you’re looking for a discreet, comfortable, and convenient way to straighten your teeth, Invisalign may be the perfect option for you. Using a series of custom-made, clear aligners, Invisalign gradually moves your teeth into their ideal position. Invisalign is a great choice for teens and adults who want a more flexible orthodontic treatment option without the look of metal braces.
Benefits of Invisalign:
-
Virtually invisible aligners
-
Removable for eating and brushing
-
No dietary restrictions
-
Fewer office visits than traditional braces

Metal Braces: Tried-and-True Treatment
Traditional metal braces remain one of the most effective ways to straighten teeth, correct bite issues, and achieve long-term oral health benefits. Today’s braces are smaller, more comfortable, and more efficient than ever before. If you or your child need comprehensive teeth alignment, metal braces may be the best solution.
Why choose metal braces?
-
Strong and reliable for complex orthodontic cases
-
Often the fastest treatment option
-
Cost-effective compared to other treatments

Clear Braces: A Subtle Alternative to Metal Braces
Want the power of braces but with a less noticeable look? Clear braces work just like metal braces but use tooth-colored or clear brackets that blend in with your teeth.
Clear braces are great for:
-
Teens and adults who want a more discreet option
-
Patients who need the effectiveness of braces without the visibility
-
Those who prefer a fixed appliance but want a more subtle look
