6-Month Braces
Our 6-Month Braces technique focuses on aligning visible front teeth quickly using advanced orthodontic methods. This treatment combines clear or metal braces with targeted adjustments to achieve results in 90% of cases within six months. Ideal for adults seeking efficient solutions without compromising aesthetics or functionality.
Lingual Braces
Lingual braces are custom-fitted to the back of teeth for discreet orthodontic treatment. This option provides full correction capabilities while remaining completely hidden, making it perfect for professionals or image-conscious patients. Treatment completes in six months for most cases.

Thank you so much to Dr. G for the best braces experience! I'm so thrilled with my new smile. Dr. G is so kind and his skills are unmatched. In just about 6 months, Dr. G provided me with an efficient, effective and really pleasant braces treatment. A huge thank you to Dr. G's wonderful staff, especially Kathy for always being so amazing and working with my schedule when booking appointments. Can't wait to come back soon for a cleaning!

Dr. G is an absolute magician. He estimated about 6 months to straighten my upper and lower teeth. After 5 months, the upper braces were off and one week later, the lowers were surprisingly off too! Dr. G is a perfectionist, and I was genuinely blown away by the final touches during the splinting session at the end of the treatment. Kathy is also delightful and very helpful in scheduling and figuring out financing.
She is funny, kind, and she tells it like it is! I always looked forward to my visits because of how warm Dr. G, Kathy, and the entire staff are, and I never had to wait long before being seen. Well worth the money and I highly recommend Dr. G to anyone considering orthodontics. It doesn't get better (or faster) than this! Thank you so much!

I would strongly suggest getting a second opinion before you proceed with Dr. Georgaklis. I met with three other orthodontists after seeing him and each one of them thought his treatment plan was, for lack of a better term, nuts. He said the only way to fix my (relatively) minor issue was with fixed braces and the removal of one of my front four bottom teeth. Every other ortho I saw said Invisalign was a completely reasonable option and that no tooth removal was necessary. Additionally, he is not particularly nice, was aggressive, and rushed me out of his office as I tried to finish asking my questions.
He also repeatedly called me a "mouth breather" (in a very condescending tone, not in a medical diagnosis way) and told me I needed to see an ENT immediately. Although I don't regularly breathe through my mouth unless I'm sick or exercising, I did decide to see a Brigham ENT because Dr. Georgaklis really made me feel like I had a serious problem. The ENT said there was absolutely no issue with my breathing and that I am not a "mouth breather." Please proceed with caution with him.

At age 25 I decided to finally fix a huge insecurity - my horribly crooked teeth. I accepted that I would likely have braces on until I was 27, but knew it would be worth it. When Dr. Georgaklis told me I would be done in 6 months I couldn't believe my ears. Sure enough, I completed my bottom braces in 5 months and my top braces in 6 months. This is an amazing option if you would prefer fast results (who wouldn't?), and Kathy at the front desk was always awesome about keeping me in the loop with scheduling, especially when Covid hit and appointments had to be changed. Seriously life changing!
