Services
Orthodontic Care
Comprehensive orthodontic treatment addresses misaligned teeth and jaws using traditional and modern techniques. Our specialists create customized plans to improve dental function and aesthetics for long-term oral health. Patients benefit from tailored care that considers individual growth patterns and lifestyle needs.
Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign uses 3D-printed clear aligners to gradually straighten teeth without metal brackets. This removable solution allows normal eating and oral hygiene while correcting bite issues and spacing. Patients receive sequential aligners for progressive tooth movement with minimal visibility.
Clear Braces
Tooth-colored ceramic braces offer discreet orthodontic correction for patients seeking aesthetic alternatives to metal braces. These durable brackets blend with natural teeth while effectively addressing complex alignment issues through traditional wire adjustments.
TMJ Dysfunction
Specialized care for temporomandibular joint disorders combines orthodontic techniques with functional analysis to alleviate pain and improve jaw movement. Treatment focuses on correcting bite alignment issues contributing to TMJ discomfort and limited mobility.
Adult Orthodontics
Customized orthodontic solutions for adults address lifelong dental concerns with discreet options like Invisalign and lingual braces. Treatment plans consider existing dental work and prioritize efficient correction timelines while achieving optimal facial aesthetics.

Questions
What age should children begin orthodontic treatment?

Can adults benefit from orthodontic treatment?
Absolutely. Many adults achieve improved smiles and bite function through our esthetic treatment options tailored to their lifestyle and dental needs.
How long does orthodontic treatment typically last?
Treatment duration varies by case complexity, ranging from 12-36 months, with Invisalign often requiring shorter timelines compared to traditional braces.
Is a dental referral required for consultation?

Report
Brookline Orthodontic Associate is a great and friendly group. My daughter has been in treatment for 3 months and it has been a great experience so far. I was very impressed with the personal follow-up call from Dr. Lin a day after the initial placement of her braces and was equally impressed with The passion and care shown by the assistant Debbie. I highly recommend this dental practice!
