Orthodontics

The stage that used to mean a referral somewhere else now happens here. Dr. Christine Esposito is a board-certified orthodontist, and she treats children, teens, and adults — from a seven-year-old’s first evaluation through braces, clear aligners, and the retainers that keep the result.

Because your child’s dentist and orthodontist work in the same building, records stay together and visits stay on one schedule. No second office across town, no repeating the history, no two sets of x-rays that never quite match.
