Orthodontic Services Available to Levittown Patients
Metal Braces
Looking for a proven, budget-friendly treatment option? Traditional metal braces are still the most popular and cost-effective orthodontic treatment available. They work beautifully for patients of all ages, from children to adults. Today’s brackets are smaller and more comfortable than ever before. Once placed on your teeth, braces and wires apply constant light pressure that gradually moves teeth into proper position.
Metal braces handle even complex cases with precision. They’re especially effective for significant crowding, spacing issues, and bite problems that need careful correction.
Clear Braces
Want effective treatment with a less noticeable look? Clear braces work exactly like traditional metal braces, except they’re clear. That makes them a popular pick for teens and adults who prefer a less noticeable look during treatment. The brackets blend with your natural tooth color, so they’re far less visible than metal.
Invisalign Clear Aligners for Adults
Invisalign clear aligners give you a clear, convenient, and comfortable option to achieve the smile you’ve always wanted. These custom-made aligners are virtually invisible, so most people won’t even know you’re going through treatment. You can remove them to eat, brush, and floss, which makes maintaining your oral health simple.
With weekly aligner changes, you’re on your way to the smile you want even faster. As a Diamond Plus Invisalign Provider (a top-tier credential awarded by Align Technology, the maker of Invisalign), Dr. Dorfman has extensive experience creating beautiful results with this system.
Invisalign Treatment for Teens
Built specifically for younger patients, Invisalign Teen includes special compliance indicators that help parents and our team confirm aligners are being worn enough each day. That takes the guesswork out of treatment and keeps everything on track. Teens love the freedom to eat what they want and the confidence of a nearly invisible option.

| Treatment | Visibility | Removable | Typical Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Metal Braces | Most visible | No | All ages, complex cases, budget-friendly |

Early Interceptive Treatment (Phase 1)
Phase 1 or early interceptive treatment can prevent a more serious orthodontic problem from occurring in the future. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends children see an orthodontist by age 7. At this age, enough permanent teeth have emerged for our orthodontist to identify developing issues like crossbites, crowding, or jaw growth problems.
Not every child needs early treatment. But when they do, addressing problems while the jaw is still growing often means simpler, shorter treatment later.
Retainers and Emergency Care
Our Smile Forever Guarantee helps keep your results lasting for years to come. We also provide emergency orthodontic care when you need it, because loose brackets and broken wires don’t wait for convenient timing.
Why Choose Our Orthodontist in Levittown, PA
Levittown patients have plenty of orthodontic options. Here’s why so many choose DOG Ortho for their family’s smiles.
Board Certified Expertise
Dr. Jake Dorfman is board certified by the American Board of Orthodontics, a credential that requires written exams, case-based clinical reviews, and ongoing peer evaluation beyond standard orthodontic residency. Only a portion of practicing orthodontists complete this rigorous process. Every treatment plan gets his personal attention and expertise.
Retainers for Life Program
The Retainers for Life program is an included benefit that supplies replacement retainers for patients who complete treatment with us. Your beautiful new smile deserves protection. Our retainer program helps make sure your teeth stay straight long after active treatment ends. It’s one more way we invest in your long-term results.
DOG Kids Club
The DOG Kids Club is a rewards and engagement program for our youngest patients, featuring fun activities, prizes, and contests during regular appointments. We think orthodontic visits should be fun, not scary. When kids feel comfortable and excited about their treatment, everything goes more smoothly for the whole family.

Frequently Asked Questions from Levittown Patients
When should my child have their first orthodontic check?
Children should see an orthodontist by age 7, according to the American Association of Orthodontists. By that age, enough permanent teeth have emerged for an orthodontist to spot developing issues like crossbites, crowding, narrow arches, or jaw growth problems. Early evaluation doesn’t always mean early treatment. It gives your orthodontist the chance to monitor growth and step in at the right time if treatment is needed. For many kids, the first visit ends with a simple “see you in a year” recommendation.
How much do braces or Invisalign cost in Levittown, PA?
Treatment costs vary based on your specific needs and the type of treatment recommended. As a general guide, full orthodontic treatment in our area typically falls within a broad range that depends on case complexity, treatment length, and the appliance type chosen. Phase 1 early treatment usually costs less than full braces or Invisalign, while complex adult cases can run higher. At your complimentary new patient consultation, we’ll walk you through exact pricing for your case and discuss all your options. We offer no down payment plans, low monthly payments with zero interest, and we’re in-network with most major insurance providers. Use our online payment calculator to get a general idea before your visit.
Do you accept insurance and offer payment plans?
Yes to both. We accept most major dental insurance plans and will help you understand your benefits, including how much your plan covers for orthodontic treatment and any lifetime maximums. For patients without insurance or those needing more flexibility, we offer affordable payment plans that make treatment accessible without financial stress. Our team will verify your benefits before your consultation so you’ll have a clear picture of out-of-pocket costs.
How long does orthodontic treatment usually take?
Most orthodontic treatment takes between 12 and 24 months, though this varies based on your individual case. Some patients finish faster, while more complex situations may take longer. During your consultation, Dr. Dorfman will give you a realistic timeline based on your specific smile goals, and we’ll review progress at each appointment to keep treatment on track.
What’s the difference between metal braces, clear braces, and Invisalign?
Metal braces use metal brackets and wires to move teeth. They’re highly effective and often the most affordable option. Clear braces work the same way but use tooth-colored brackets that blend in better. Invisalign uses a series of removable clear plastic aligners instead of brackets and wires. Each option has advantages depending on your lifestyle, budget, and treatment needs. Our team will help you weigh the pros and cons during your complimentary consultation.
Do you offer emergency orthodontic care for Levittown patients?
Yes, and we mean it. Broken brackets, poking wires, and other orthodontic emergencies happen. When they do, contact our convenient location and we’ll get you in as quickly as possible. We don’t want you dealing with discomfort any longer than necessary, and we keep openings in our schedule specifically for urgent care.
Can adults still get orthodontic treatment?
Definitely. A growing number of our patients are adults, including parents who decide to start treatment alongside their teens. Teeth can be moved at almost any age as long as the gums and bone are healthy. Invisalign and clear braces are especially popular with our adult patients who want a discreet option that fits a professional lifestyle.
