Services
Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign treatment uses custom-made clear aligners to gradually straighten teeth without traditional braces. Our board-certified orthodontist creates personalized treatment plans using digital scanning technology. Patients appreciate the removable nature of these aligners for eating and cleaning.
Traditional Braces
Traditional metal braces provide effective tooth movement for complex alignment issues. We offer modern bracket systems with improved comfort and aesthetics. Regular adjustments ensure optimal tooth positioning over the treatment period.
TMJ Treatment
TMJ treatment addresses temporomandibular joint disorders causing pain and dysfunction. Our approach combines orthodontic techniques with specialized appliances to improve jaw alignment and reduce symptoms.
Early Orthodontics
Early orthodontic intervention for children addresses developing bite issues and jaw growth problems. Timely treatment between ages 7-9 can prevent more complex issues and reduce future treatment needs.
Digital Impressions
Digital impression technology replaces traditional putty molds with precise 3D scanning for accurate treatment planning. This advanced system creates detailed virtual models for better diagnostic capabilities and treatment outcomes.

I just had my braces taken off after two years. Overall great experience. Never had to wait for more than 5 mins, appointments start and end on time. The team is very friendly and professional. When I broke my braces a couple of times they scheduled me in right away, never charged extra. During covid times had to reschedule many times, no problems. Yea, would highly recommend this place.

I am about six months in on my approximate eighteen month journey with Orthodontics of Cambridge. So far, so good! I have no complaints and am optimistic about the remaining months and outcome. After a generous and thorough consultation at Dr. Murthy's office, I was sure his office was who I wanted to work with. Katia, in the office, is always a pleasure to schedule with and Dr. Murthy is a wonderful, extremely knowledgeable professional.
I saw him today for the fifth time and especially appreciated his warmth and receptivity! I look forward to continuing my treatment with this outstanding practice and would recommend Orthodontics of Cambridge to anyone looking for a clean, dynamic, affordable, and reputable orthodontist with which to pursue this important aspect of dental health and longevity.

I am an adult patient of Dr. Murthy. I don't usually write reviews but needed to because Dr. Murthy has quite literally transformed my smile and face! I finally have the confidence I have always wanted. When I first saw Dr Murthy he offered me my chose of traditional braces, lingual braces, or Invisalign. I just finished Invisalign. I am so happy I trusted you with my teeth and I will miss visiting the office. Thank you Dr. Murthy!

Life-changing! For my adult braces journey, no one in Massachusetts is better than Dr. Murthy. I was very nervous about getting braces at 37. I needed to fix my bite and was unhappy with my teeth alignment. But being educated at The University of Pennsylvania, serving as an orthodontist and Captain in the US military, and opening up his own practice gave me confidence in his abilities. I have been 110% pleased! Katia, who will book your appointments, always makes me smile and is incredibly professional when it comes to her office responsibilities.
I am documenting my whole journey with Dr. Murthy on my YouTube channel. Here's the playlist if you want to binge watch what getting work done in his office is actually like. See "JustinAdamPhD" orthodontics playlist.

Highly recommend this practice. Dr. Murthy is amazingly knowledgeable and on initial consultation provides several treatment options. Full explanation of each step and answers all your questions and concerns. The staff is friendly, this practice really cares about the patients and their long term care. The office is spotless in cleanliness. I've been bringing my child for treatment for over a year. Dr. Murthy and Katia are always there to answer my questions within minutes. Dr. Murthy is easily accessible via his private line for any emergencies or questions. Appointments are easy to set up and Katia does a great job at accommodating requests, fits in perfectly with my busy schedule.
