Orthodontics in New Jersey
Crooked teeth or a misaligned bite can cause pain, tension, and leave you feeling self-conscious. Orthodontic treatments like braces can correct crooked, crowded, and misaligned teeth, improving the appearance and function of your smile.
NÜVA Smile has multiple New Jersey locations and comprehensive care to align your teeth and give you a beautiful smile.
What Is Orthodontics?
Orthodontics is a field of dentistry that focuses on the treatment of irregularities such as crooked teeth and jaw misalignment.
Our dentists offer several established orthodontic solutions for patients with crooked, crowded, or misaligned teeth. These include traditional braces, discreet OrthoFX® clear aligners, and FASTBRACES®, which can straighten your smile in as few as 100 days.
Orthodontic treatment offers numerous benefits. While the most obvious benefit is an improved appearance, orthodontic treatment can also prevent oral health issues: patients with straighter teeth can brush and floss more easily, which prevents decay and gum disease from developing.
By aligning your bite, orthodontic treatment can avoid excessive wear and tear on your teeth. It can also ease tension in the jaw so that your bite will function better, and you can avoid or eliminate painful TMJ disorder symptoms.

Braces
A Versatile Option
/
Braces offer effective treatment for all levels of malocclusion, including rotated teeth and overcrowding. We offer both traditional metal braces and FASTBRACES, which use triangular brackets to dramatically accelerate the treatment timeline.
Seeking an Alternative to Braces?
If noticeable wires and brackets are causing you to avoid orthodontic treatment, NÜVA Smile offers OrthoFX, a clear alternative to traditional braces. OrthoFX is similar to Invisalign®, but requires fewer trips to the orthodontist and can mean faster treatment.
OrthoFX works much like traditional braces by using gentle pressure to slowly shift teeth into proper alignment, but replaces metal brackets and wires with clear, removable trays. Instead of wire adjustments, you will receive new trays as your treatment progresses. These trays are slightly different each time.

We Make Orthodontic Care More Affordable
We are dedicated to eliminating financial barriers and helping patients throughout New Jersey get the care they need for beautiful, healthy, and functional smiles. Here is how we make orthodontics more financially accessible:
Clear Aligner Candidacy
Have mild-to-moderate alignment issues
Clear aligners are best for patients with mild-to-moderate orthodontic concerns. If you have severe issues, traditional braces may be best for you.
Can wear the aligners 20 to 22 hours a day
You must be committed to wearing the aligner trays for 20 to 22 hours a day. This will help ensure the best and fastest results possible.
Can maintain the aligner trays
If you suspect you may frequently lose the trays or will fall behind on maintaining them, traditional braces may be best for you.

How Do I Clean My Braces
Proper hygiene is important to maintaining your oral health throughout treatment. Brushing with braces is not difficult. Your normal toothbrush will do most of the work. However, additional tools like a small wire cleaning brush can help get where a toothbrush cannot reach and ensure that you properly clean around the brackets and wires.
With OrthoFX, you will remove the aligner and brush and floss your teeth as normal. The removable trays will require proper cleaning daily. Simply rinse and use a soft bristle brush and mild soap to ensure the trays are clean.
No matter which type of orthodontics you choose, your dentist or orthodontist will go over all the proper cleaning techniques with you to be sure you can maintain your braces or clear aligners.
Frequently Asked Questions

OrthoFX takes between six and 18 months, depending on your smile.
