Services
Orthodontics for children
Specialized orthodontic treatment for children focusing on natural dental development. We prioritize conservative approaches that allow teeth to develop naturally while addressing alignment issues early. Our methods minimize the need for tooth extractions through growth-oriented treatment planning.
Orthodontics for adults
Comprehensive orthodontic solutions for adult patients seeking improved dental alignment. We utilize advanced wire materials and bracket systems to achieve optimal results while maintaining treatment efficiency. Each case receives direct doctor oversight from start to finish.
Early treatment planning
Proactive orthodontic evaluation to address developing bite issues before they become severe. This approach creates space for permanent teeth eruption and prevents future complications through timely, minimally invasive interventions.
Digital scanning
Advanced iTero Element 2 digital scanning technology replaces traditional impressions. This non-invasive method creates precise digital models for treatment planning while eliminating discomfort associated with conventional impression materials.
Retainer appliances
Custom-fitted retainers to maintain post-treatment alignment. We design removable appliances that balance comfort with effectiveness, ensuring long-term stability of orthodontic results while accommodating patients' lifestyle needs.

I'm seeing Dr. Silverstein for orthodontic treatment prior jaw surgery. I couldn't of picked a better doctor and office. Very responsive & the visits always go smooth. I was recommended to him by my dentist and honestly I doubt you can find a better ortho service anywhere around. Highly highly recommend.

Both my kids go to Dr. Silverstein and my only regret is that I didn't have him for my orthodontist. He explains everything in great detail and I highly recommend.

Report
Came up on vacation to visit my brother, and my daughter that recently got braces (2 weeks prior) had some rubber bands pop off on the inside of her teeth. She was in a lot of pain, and couldn't eat much. I first called another Dr., and was told that it would cost $100 for an out of town emergency visit. I then called Dr. Silverstein's office, and was told they would do it for free, since they didn't want her to go through any pain during the holidays.
We get there, and the staff were amazing and friendly, and not only did Dr. Silverstein put the new rubber bands on for her, they also gave her more wax, a toothbrush, and some oral gel for the pain. Absolutely amazing people, so much so, that they got a new customer in my niece.
