National Children's Dental Health Month

The Importance of Early Orthodontic Care

 

Every February The American Dental Association, as well as all dental professionals, health care professionals, and educators, gather together to raise awareness for the importance of early treatment, whether it’s dental or orthodontic. Living a healthy lifestyle and maintaining good oral hygiene from a young age helps reduce excess time and money spent on dental health problems and allows for more time doing what makes you happy! 

Dr. Saffar strongly supports National Children’s Dental Health Month. He recommends all children visit an orthodontist starting at age 7 for an evaluation to start them on the path towards a healthy smile. This is because the earlier orthodontic issues are found, the easier it is to correct them. Even if orthodontic treatment isn’t necessary at the time, Dr. Saffar and his staff can determine when a patient should start treatment in the future. It is imperative that your children’s teeth are well taken care of; we want them to have a beautiful smile that will last them a lifetime! Consider treatment and dental visits at an early age to prevent future dental problems and promote lifelong healthy habits! 


Let’s Defeat Monster Mouth 

 

Let’s join smiles and promote a healthy life. Please accompany My Orthodontist, and the American Dental Association, in spreading the new 2015 campaign motto “Defeat Monster Mouth”.

Welcome to the My Orthodontist Blog

Dr. Ron Saffar and his professional staff would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to our blog! Dr. Saffar has been providing orthodontic treatment to the residents of Southern and Northern NJ for many years.

We offer the latest technology in braces to ensure that your treatment and level of satisfaction is the best it could possibly be. We are fully committed to helping you achieve the beautiful smile you want and deserve. You will find our office to be warm and inviting and we promise to always put our needs first.

Meet Dr. Ron Saffar

Dr. Ron Saffar earned his dental degree and specialty training in orthodontics at the New York School of Dentistry. He also fulfilled a six-month fellowship in Surgical Orthodontics at the New York University School of Medicine.

Dr. Saffar is an active member in the American Association of Orthodontists, American Dental Association and Mercer County Dental Society. He also was Past President of the Hudson County Dental Society. Dr. Saffar has had numerous abstracts published and has lectured extensively.

Dr. Ron Saffar gives back to the community by supporting Smiles Change Lives and Philabundance. When he is not in the office, Dr. Saffar enjoys golfing, tennis, skiing, traveling and spending time with his wife and daughter.

Types of Braces We Use

There are more options than ever when it comes to wearing braces. Traditional metal braces are still very common but our office specializes in clear braces and Inivsalign are more and more popular for our patients.

Metal Braces

The metal braces we use are the most common type. These braces are made of high-grade stainless steel and they are smaller, more comfortable and more attractive than metal braces used a few years ago.

Ceramic Clear Braces

The ceramic braces we use are made of a translucent or clear material. These braces are popular among our adult and pediatric patients due to the cosmetic appeal they provide. The only drawback to ceramic braces is that they are more fragile.

Invisalign

The Invisalign System we use consists of a series of clear; overlay templates or aligners that have been computer generated to gradually move the teeth. This low-profile system is available to adults with certain orthodontic bite problems.  When you are wearing Invisalign, many people may not even notice that you are straightening your teeth, as the Invisalign System is nearly undetectable. Dr. Saffar can determine if you are a candidate for Invisalign.

We offer the latest orthodontic treatment for kids, teens and adults in our inviting, modern offices located in Cherry Hill, Deptford, West Trenton and West New York, NJ. If you would like to schedule a complimentary consultation with us please call us at 856.428.1441 (Cherry Hill), 856.845.7846 (Deptford), 609.883.3636 (West Trenton), and 201.223.2700 (West New York).

Have a great day and remember that you’re spread some happiness with your smile, as it is one of your greatest assets!

Early Orthodontic Treatment


Though an orthodontist can enhance a smile at any age, there is an optimal time period to begin treatment. Beginning treatment at this time ensures the greatest results and the least amount of time and expense. For more information please visit us.
