Metal Braces
Metal braces are orthodontic appliances that use small stainless-steel brackets and archwires to gradually move teeth into proper alignment. They remain the most popular and cost-effective treatment available today.
Traditional metal braces are still the most reliable orthodontic treatment available. Today’s braces are smaller, more comfortable, and work faster than ever before. Brackets attach to your teeth using special glue, and wires place constant light pressure to move teeth into proper position. Metal braces work well for patients of all ages and can correct even complex alignment issues, including significant crowding, spacing, and bite problems.
Clear Ceramic Braces
Clear ceramic braces are tooth-colored brackets that work just like traditional metal braces but blend in with your natural smile. They’re a popular discreet option for teens and adults.
These tooth-colored brackets blend with your natural smile, making them a popular choice for teens and adults who want a more subtle look. They deliver the same reliable results as metal braces while offering a more cosmetic appearance throughout treatment.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign clear aligners are a series of custom-made, removable plastic trays that progressively straighten teeth without brackets or wires. They’re nearly invisible and removable for eating and brushing.
Invisalign clear aligners give you a clear, convenient, and comfortable option to achieve the smile you’ve always wanted. As a diamond plus Invisalign provider, Dr. Dorfman has the experience to handle everything from simple spacing issues to more complex cases. With weekly aligner changes, you’re on your way to the smile you want even faster. Most people won’t even know you’re going through treatment.
Invisalign Teen
Invisalign Teen is a version of Invisalign designed for growing smiles, featuring compliance indicators and replacement aligners built into the plan.
Teens love Invisalign because aligners are virtually invisible and removable for eating and brushing. Parents love that compliance indicators show whether aligners are being worn as directed. It’s a win for everyone.

Early Interceptive (Phase 1) Treatment
Phase 1 treatment is early orthodontic care for children ages 7–10 that addresses developing problems before all permanent teeth come in.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children see an orthodontist by age 7. Phase 1 or early interceptive treatment can prevent a more serious orthodontic problem from occurring in the future. Not every child needs early treatment, but catching issues like crossbites, crowding, or jaw growth problems early can save time and money down the road.
Retainers for Life Program
Your smile is an investment worth protecting. Our Retainers for Life program helps Burlington patients maintain their results for years to come by providing replacement retainers as needed, so a lost or broken retainer never threatens the beautiful results you worked so hard to achieve. Enrolled patients get peace of mind knowing their straight smile is protected long after active treatment ends.
DOG Kids Club
Younger patients can join our DOG Kids Club rewards program. It makes orthodontic visits fun and gives kids something to look forward to at each appointment. Kids earn points for great brushing, on-time arrivals, and excellent cooperation, which can be redeemed for fun prizes. We’ve found that turning appointments into a positive experience helps children build healthy habits that last a lifetime.
Emergency Orthodontic Care
Popped bracket? Poking wire? Our team provides emergency orthodontic care to keep your treatment on track. Burlington families can count on us when unexpected issues come up, and we’ll get you in quickly at whichever office is most convenient.

Frequently Asked Questions from Burlington Patients
How much do braces cost in Burlington NJ?
Braces in the Burlington, NJ area typically range depending on case complexity, treatment length, and the type of braces chosen. At DOG Ortho, we offer no down payment options and low monthly payments with zero interest to make treatment affordable for every family.
During your complimentary consultation, we’ll provide a detailed cost breakdown and discuss payment options that fit your budget. We’re in-network with most major insurance plans, which can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs.
At what age should my child see an orthodontist?
Children should first see an orthodontist by age 7, according to the American Association of Orthodontists. At this age, enough permanent teeth have emerged for an orthodontist to spot developing issues like crossbites, crowding, or jaw growth problems. Early evaluation doesn’t always mean early treatment, but it gives Dr. Dorfman the chance to monitor growth and step in at the right time if needed.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Invisalign treatment length depends on your specific case. Simple spacing or crowding issues may take as little as six months. More complex cases can take 12 to 18 months or longer. During your complimentary consultation, Dr. Dorfman will examine your teeth and give you a realistic timeline based on your goals.
Do you accept insurance and offer payment plans?
Yes to both! We’re in-network with most major insurance plans and will help you maximize your benefits. For any remaining balance, we offer payment plans with no down payment and zero interest financing. Use our online payment calculator to estimate your monthly investment before your first visit.
What’s the difference between braces and Invisalign?
Braces use brackets and wires attached to your teeth to gradually shift them into position. Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable plastic aligners. Both deliver excellent results. The best choice depends on your lifestyle, the complexity of your case, and your personal preferences. Dr. Dorfman will recommend the option that works best for your smile during your consultation.
Do you offer emergency orthodontic care?
Absolutely. If your teeth begin feeling a little loose, don’t worry. This is normal! Your braces must first loosen your teeth to move them into the right position. But if you have a broken bracket, poking wire, or other urgent issue, call our office right away. We’ll get you in quickly to keep your treatment on track.
Can adults get braces or Invisalign?
Yes! More adults than ever are choosing orthodontic treatment. You’re never too old for a straighter smile. Many of our Burlington patients are adults who finally decided to invest in themselves. Invisalign is especially popular with adult patients because aligners are virtually invisible.
