Metal Braces
Modern metal braces use advanced materials to straighten teeth efficiently while minimizing discomfort. Our customized treatment plans ensure optimal alignment and bite correction for patients of all ages. This proven solution remains the most cost-effective option for complex orthodontic cases.
Clear Aligners
Custom-made clear aligners offer a discreet alternative to traditional braces for straightening teeth. We provide multiple options including Invisalign, ClearCorrect, and orthosnap for patients seeking aesthetic solutions with removable appliances that fit their lifestyle.
TMJ Treatment
Our specialized TMJ treatment addresses temporomandibular joint disorders using advanced diagnostic techniques and personalized therapy plans. We employ the Electro-Acuscope/Myopulse System for effective pain management and functional improvement in jaw movement.
Early Intervention
Proactive orthodontic treatment for children aged 7-10 helps correct developing bite issues and jaw alignment problems. Early intervention creates space for permanent teeth eruption and can prevent more complex treatments in adolescence.
Emergency Care
We provide prompt care for urgent orthodontic issues including broken appliances, wire irritation, and trauma. Our emergency protocols ensure patients receive same-day assistance and temporary solutions to alleviate discomfort while maintaining treatment progress.

Dr Okun is extraordinarily professional and a tremendously talented Orthodontist. She is entirely committed to her patients and to doing everything possible to provide optimal outcomes in their treatment. Wonderful to experience such a consummate professional and practitioner. The community near and far is very fortunate to have her practicing and continuing the legacy of excellence in orthodontia originated by her father years ago.

We've been very happy with Dr. Okun for our children's orthodontic needs. She is very thorough in her exam and looks at bone structure, facial balance, jaw movements etc. Her deep knowledge and understanding of her practice shows in how well she explains the goals of treatment, the process, and the requirements of patient in the treatment. She also has a bevy of tips and tricks that make the process much more comfortable for the patient.

Report
Dr Okun is friendly to some parents and not friendly to her patients. Intmidation seems to be her tactic for getting kids to comply. The wait is--without fail--an average of 30 minutes. As her 2nd patient of the day, our wait time was actually 45 minutes.

Both of my sons have been going to Dr. Okun for several years. She is among the last of a dying breed. She cares, she takes pride in doing things the right way and is thoroughly a professional. In a world filled with mediocrity, she is a standout. Don't hesitate to put your children's teeth in her hands!

Dr. Okun has performed a great job with the braces for our 14 yo kid. High quality work, responsive and transparent about different solutions vs cost. Great with follow up visits. Okun Orthodontics is highly recommended.
