About Brodsky Orthodontics
Adults make up a notable share of patients here, with reviews describing bite corrections through Invisalign tracked via app progress and time-lapse previews.
This orthodontic practice treats a mix of children, teens, and a notable number of adults, often across multiple family members at once. Invisalign and clear aligner treatment come up far more than braces alone, with reviews describing smooth progress tracked through an app and time-lapse previews of expected results. Reviews also mention bite corrections handled without surgery and a kid-focused office with rewards and a low-key, movie-equipped waiting room. A few reviews note delays getting a callback, though most describe quick fixes for broken brackets or retainers.

Front desk is always polite while greeting me upon entry. The doctor takes the time to explain future treatment and what’s to be expected. My assistant for the day makes conversation and makes sure I’m comfortable throughout the visit.
