Services
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment uses custom-fitted, removable clear trays to straighten teeth discreetly. This technology eliminates brackets and wires, allowing easier oral hygiene and unrestricted eating. Patients appreciate the nearly invisible appearance and comfort of this modern orthodontic solution.
Damon Braces
Damon Braces employ advanced self-ligating technology that reduces friction and treatment time. These braces use slide mechanisms instead of elastic ties, requiring fewer adjustments while maintaining precise tooth movement control for efficient orthodontic correction.
Early Orthodontics
Early orthodontic evaluation begins at age 7 to monitor jaw development and tooth eruption. This preventive approach identifies potential issues early, often avoiding extractions or surgery through timely intervention and guided growth techniques.
TMJ Treatment
Specialized TMJ treatment addresses temporomandibular joint disorders through customized oral appliances and bite adjustments. This therapy alleviates symptoms like jaw pain, headaches, and clicking while improving overall dental function and comfort.
Sleep Apnea Appliances
Custom sleep apnea appliances reposition the jaw to maintain open airways during sleep. These FDA-approved devices offer non-invasive alternatives to CPAP machines, effectively reducing snoring and improving sleep quality for patients.

I had my teeth botched by a previous orthodontist and Dr. Serino completely fixed them. He worked around my very busy schedule with invisalign and braces, and makes sure all of his customers are safe during covid. Him and his staff are all super friendly and caring -- I could not recommend enough!

If you have been putting off getting braces, please treat yourself, the confidence a straight smile brings is priceless and if you are super self conscious picturing yourself with braces, which you do NOT need to be now is also a good time since we are unfortunately stuck wearing masks. The best choice I made was becoming part of Serinos Smiles, Dr. Serino is friendly, funny and family oriented. Come and join the family. My nephew will be next.

I have been going to Serino Orthodontics since middle school with Dr. Serino being my orthodontist for all these years. I have become very close with Dr. Serino himself and his family as well. I am always welcomed in the office whenever I go and am always very impressed with how everything is ran. I would recommend Serino Orthodontics to anyone and everyone that is in need of a trustworthy, well trained and well equipped orthodontist. Thank you Serino Orthodontics!

Dr. Serino has been excellent at his craft for many years. He was my orthodontist when I was in High School and he couldn't have been better. He's very personable, relatable and just overall fun. His sense of humor is great and also helps with any nervousness you may feel at the thought of getting braces. This is great for younger kids and even adults. He is easy to talk to and listens to all of your concerns. Trust is the key! And if you want an orthodontist that cares for their patients and takes their job seriously, Dr. Serino is that person! Thanks for the great smile!
