About Pezza Orthodontics
A father-and-son orthodontist team treats a notable number of teens and anxious patients, with many families bringing several children through multi-year care.
Pezza Orthodontics is run by a father-son pair of doctors who reviews credit with explaining treatment options honestly and steering patients away from unnecessary extras. Invisalign and clear aligner cases for teens and adults come up often, with staged check-ins and results described as exceeding expectations. Several reviews describe multiple siblings from the same family being treated over the years, and anxious or nervous kids specifically noted as being put at ease during visits.

Everyone at Pezza Orthodontics is wonderful. All three of my sons have needed braces and every time we go it's the same. They want to help you be your best with a great smile. The staff are friendly and do their best to work around any schedule. My sons have always looked forward to their visits.

Pezza orthodontics was a very warm welcoming at every appointment. Every staff member was very friendly and kind. Pezza Orthodontics brought back the confidence in me with perfecting my smile. I got braces at 18 years old and thought it was too late to get a perfect smile, but with Pezza they made it quick and easy for 2 years and now I feel like I have confidence in my smile now. Very pleased with my smile now and recommended it to anyone trying to fix their smile.

I just completed a 2-year treatment plan, under the care and guidance of Dr. Gregory Pezza. During my initial consult, I had a complete scan of my mouth done, and based on the findings, Dr. Greg provided me with exemplary treatment options, with upfront, honest costs. I chose the comprehensive Invisalign plan, and couldn't be happier. The results exceeded my expectations. Dr. Greg's skill and expertise are top tier; His manner, both professional and kind. Everyone at Pezza Orthodontics is incredibly patient and polite; they go out of their way to accommodate. I highly recommend Dr. Greg and his top notch, friendly staff! - Arthur P.
