Why Choose Us

Dr. Scaffidi is an orthodontist. Orthodontists are dentists first. Out of 100 dental school graduates, on average, only six go on to become orthodontists.

To practice orthodontics, Dr. Scaffidi spent 11 years in training (four years of college, four years of dental school, and three years of orthodontics residency).

The orthodontic student spends three years learning the skills needed to manage tooth movement and to guide facial development.

You want an expert like Dr. Scaffidi to give you a new smile—not from aligners you order in the mail.

From the moment you contact our office to your final retainer check appointment, our goal at Scaffidi Orthodontics is your complete satisfaction.

We value your time and take pride in the fact that 90% of our appointments start within 10 minutes of the scheduled appointment time.

Dr. Scaffidi will review your photos and X-rays to find the best way to treat your individual needs.

Then you’ll choose the type of braces you want - traditional metal, clear ceramic, or clear aligners. Our goal at Scaffidi Orthodontics is not just to give you the smile of your dreams.

We want you to leave our office after every appointment knowing that you got the best possible care.

Gone are the days of painful headgear, clunky bands on every tooth, and overly tight stainless steel wires. Today's orthodontic treatment is much more comfortable than it used to be. This is because of shape-memory NiTi wires.

With the same technology that NASA uses, NiTi wires exert a continuous force against the teeth to move them in the right direction. This gets rid of the need for wire tightening. This means you spend less time in braces, and the time you do spend is more comfortable.

At Scaffidi Orthodontics, we take pride in making the process of straightening your teeth as comfortable as possible.

Everyone loves medical offices that offer flexible appointments and flexible treatment options, but we also offer flexible payment options.

After we’ve determined your insurance coverage and filed it for you, we'll sit down and come up with a monthly payment plan that fits your family’s budget. You’ll never have to worry about a hidden fee or an unpleasant surprise.

You can also get a discount if you pay in full on the front end.
