Services
Custom Braces
Custom Braces at Custom Orthodontics are tailored to each patients unique dental structure. Dr. Herberger designs and applies metal, ceramic, or clear brackets paired with precision-crafted wires to correct alignment issues. This service ensures optimal comfort and results through personalized treatment plans, advanced 3D imaging, and in-house technology.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment uses virtually invisible, removable aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. Custom Orthodontics provides a series of aligners that gradually shift teeth into proper position, ideal for adults and teens seeking aesthetic alternatives to traditional braces. The process includes regular check-ups to monitor progress.
Early Phase I Treatment
Early Phase I Treatment addresses bite and alignment issues in children aged 710. This proactive approach creates space for permanent teeth, reduces future complications, and guides jaw growth. Custom Orthodontics employs gentle, age-appropriate techniques to ensure comfort and long-term dental health.
Orthodontic Consultations
Free initial consultations include comprehensive evaluations of tooth alignment, jaw positioning, and dental history. Custom Orthodontics uses digital scans, X-rays, and photos to develop personalized treatment plans, ensuring patients understand their options and expected outcomes before starting care.
Retainer Services
Retainer Services ensure lasting results after braces or Invisalign. Custom Orthodontics provides durable, custom-fitted retainers to maintain proper tooth positioning. Patients receive guidance on proper use and care to prevent relapse, with follow-up appointments to monitor stability and adjust as needed.

Hi Sarah Elizabeth, I am responding to your recent post. I am the office manager for Dr. Herberger. This office strictly enforces the privacy of our patients. It is criminal to release personal records (dental, financial etc.) to unauthorized parties.

The secretary was very rude I made and appointment that got mess up and asked why they didn't call to verify the insurance coverage. She said they did with an attitude and asked if I wanted to reschedule. At this point i said I don't seem to have a choice and asked what number she had in file as my contact information. She got even more rude and told me not to pacifier and that she was going to hang up. Very disrespectful the staff with no accountability nor customers service.

Dr. Herberger has been the orthodontist for 2 of my grand children and I have always wanted to have my teeth straightened so I decided to allow him to do so. I could not be any more pleased with the outcome! I truly appreciate the individual focus on his patients. You are not just a number in his office. THANK YOU Dr. Herberger and staff!

Dr. Herberger is the ONLY Orthodontist that will touch my kids! He would not do anything to my kids that he would not do to his own. He is 100% motivated by what is best for his patience. I have trusted him with all three of my children and my wife and I are completely satisfied. His pricing was competitive, but honestly, that did not matter. Dr. Herberger IS the best Orthodontist in Lorain County, Period!
