Ok, let me start with my complicated Orthodontics history…read more This is my 3rd time getting braces (ya, no kidding). My first braces experience in elementary school was with Orthodontics students due to budget concern -- of course that didn't go well and they started me on a second round treatment right afterward. The supervising dentist at the time even told me that I didn't need retainers. So after getting into my 30s, my teeth alignment is out of place again. Now I have open bite. So I decided to do braces again. I went to 2 other orthodontists for consultation before choosing Arlington Orthodontics. One was widely referred by colleagues but her practice was too far, and her quote wasn't as competitive. Another was way too pushy in selling their service and even told me they can expedite the process from 20 months to 14 months. If you know something about adult teeth, you never want to rush your Orthodontics treatment. It can cause the root of the teeth to shrink, which can result in tooth loss. Dr. Lind green was the only orthodontist who spent the resources to take dental X-ray and 3D scan of my teeth among all these consultation, and free of charge. He spent a good amount of time to explain how prior ortho treatment shortened my tooth root, and how he'd adjust treatment to me. He was honest up front that I may not be able to complete treatment should they find my root shortened to a dangerous length. (He said he'd X-ray my teeth to monitor treatment). I chose an honest orthodontist, knowing that I'd be in good hands. No other ortho has taken the time and patience to explain to me. After all, I am he one paying for the service! Oh, the reclining chair, AC, and music makes a good short nap during my braces appointments. Haha.

Upgrade more issues…read more Dentist. Lindgren also deliberately made my top teeth wider than my bottom teeth, resulting in misalignment. Now, all four top teeth have root canal issues, and the cost to fix this is over $20,000. On top of that, he used an intense light that left dark spots on my lips after drying the glue. It seems he did all this intentionally, with these problems only becoming apparent years later. I recorded all my visits and can provide proof if necessary. Dentist. Lindgren falsely claimed I cursed his staff, which is completely untrue. If I had, I would ask him to specify exactly what was said and to whom. I urge him to do the right thing. This behavior is unprofessional and immature. Dentist. John Lindgren and his wife, both highly educated and quick to defend themselves, seem skilled at deflecting criticism rather than addressing the real issues at hand. Despite their credentials, their behavior throughout my treatment was unprofessional and disrespectful.

I don't know where to begin to explain my wonderful experience with Dr. Melita. I searched for the…read moreperfect orthodontist for almost 5 years and I'm beyond happy that I found Dr. Melita right when I was about to give up. The reason for my hesitation was the multiple crowns (one being very visible) in my mouth along with the crowding issue I had. I am opposed to pulling healthy teeth out to make space without first trying to make it work with the existing space. Not even once did Dr. Melita try to change my mind about this nor even later during the treatment did she bring this up ever. She respected it wholeheartedly that I could feel it every time we would talk about next steps in making space to move the teeth around. Another reason why she is be the best Orthodontist to me is is that she worked with my crown so well that I never thought it would look this good to be honest. During the treatment, she allowed for me to go to my dentist to get a temporary crown to reflect the actual position of my teeth to make sure she gets them to the actual positions they need to be as close as possible. Not even once during the treatment have I felt rushed. It felt as if Dr. Melita was giving me the care that she would actually give to her own self. I don't know how I can actually convince anyone via words without knowing me to go and at least have a chat with Dr. Melita but I can tell you this much; I became a bride with braces as I was THAT happy and comfortable with them. I had the option to remove them for the wedding but didn't even bother. And it was Dr. Melita who offered to take them off so I could have my pictures without braces. I can't imagine a single orthodontist ever offering that. Little things matter along with the major PART of getting beautiful results. I took my braces off almost 3 months ago and still waiting to get my permanent crown put on. During this process I'm still in touch with Dr. Melita's office frequently and even after finishing the treatment you must see how much they still care for you to make sure you get on the schedule as soon as possible. I never laughed or smiled as genuinely as I do now and I can't thank enough to Dr. Melita and everyone in her office for making it happen. You make all the waiting worthwhile.

I came to Dr. Meyer and his staff to correct one tooth that had turned out post Invisalign. I had a…read morelong relationship with Invisalign prior to finding Dr. Meyer. He has been the most professional and honest orthodontist I've met. I'm happy with the results and I'm still a few months away from completion. I wish I had found him along time ago.

I love Dr. Meyer so much! I used to see him at his previous office (back when I was in middle…read moreschool!!) and followed him to his new solo office. Despite leaving me with perfect teeth years ago, I failed to wear my retainers and found myself at 24 with a pretty janky smile that I was looking to fix. Dr. M suggested I try Invisalign and put me on a 9 month plan. The process was seamless, and I couldn't be happier with the results. What I've always loved about Dr. M is his ability to explain the course of treatment in a way that's easy to understand. He's also always been very realistic about results. Plus, the girls in his office are the nicest!! However, as much as I adore the whole team, I'm definitely going to be wearing my retainers this time around so I'm hoping i don't have to see Dr. M and his staff any time soon :)

Dr. Joy is anything but. FIRST of all, you walk into the waiting room and it is jam packed with…read morepeople, THEN you are instructed to check in NOT with the receptionist, but via a COMPUTER facing the ENTIRE ROOM where you have access to ANYONE's PERSONAL INFORMATION. You can type in ANY name and it will auto-populate and you can get any person's information and see anyone who's been there. This is a massive HIPAA violation. THEN, the receptionist is horribly rude. She gave us attitude because we were there a little early and snapped "you're going to have to WAIT because you're EARLY!" Oh, would you rather us be late? Then they brought my kid back to "only take xrays" and ended up talking to them about all kinds of treatments that they wanted to do. Cosmetic braces, tooth pulls, functional braces, palate expander, headgear. We finally got brought in and the kid was terrified at everything that was thrown at them. The doctor and an assistant crowded in the room, telling us all of the things that MUST be done and NEED to be completed immediately! Snapped at us when we questioned the timeline. Then she SHOWED US ANOTHER PATIENT'S CHART AND XRAYS!!! The HIPAA violations at this place alone should be able to put it out of business. We were appalled and left shellshocked and full of anxiety and stress. I would never recommend this place to anyone, ESPECIALLY children. We went to someone else who was much less stressful and a lot kinder.

Very disappointed in this orthodontic office. I am a patient and made an appointment to have my…read moreretainers checked. As part of my retainer cost, it is expected to have retainers checked on a regular basis. When I called to make an appointment I was told the doctor now charges $75 for a retainer check. That is unacceptable. Please be aware that this office is about up charging and taking advantage. Since dr Joy bought out this practice years ago from Dr D'Angelis, it has been nothing but charging for everything and increased costs. I would not recommend this orthodontist unless you want to be nickeled and dimed.

He contacted Cambridge Orthodontics and was seen by Dr. Samadani. Like a one reviewer posted, I was also concerned about the cost (college is expensive enough). And just like said reviewer, I was also surprised when he said Dr. Samadani fixed it for free! He said it did not take long either and they were super nice.

I would trust Dr. Sadamani's professional opinion and advice and wholeheartedly recommend Cambridge Orthodontics to anyone looking for an orthodontist! I've had my permanent retainer for 4 years before one side of my wire came popped off, which impeded my eating. I couldn't go to my orthodontist because he is based in California, so I called around to multiple orthodontic offices in Somerville and Cambridge area. Cambridge Orthodontics was able to get me an appointment within 5 days of my call, compared to other places that offered appointment slots a month out from when I called. I appreciate that they understood the urgency of my situation and tried to get me in at the earliest time possible. The visit itself was nothing short of a pleasant experience! From the staff members who aided with different parts of my procedure to Dr. Samadani's consultation, everyone thoroughly explained to me what they were doing every step of the way. Dr. Samadani was especially thoughtful in explaining the different options I had for my permanent retainer. Frankly, my biggest fear was going to an orthodontist's office that I am not a regular at and be ripped off. I was on guard that they would tell me to replace my entire permanent retainer rather than repair just the broken part. Dr. Samadani was really honest about the state of my permanent retainer and I felt that she suggested the most practical option for me moving forward. I truly appreciated her honesty and integrity most about my experience with her.

My children, current ages 8 and 7yo, have been going to the medford center for the last few years…read more We started by seeing Dr. Defeo and Dr. Deepti (I forget her last name!) who started working there a bit ago -- both of who are super sweet, thorough and knowledgeable. Our kids are always put at ease and really enjoy going to the dentist (the prize at the end of the visit definitely doesn't hurt)! The front desk staff is also really helpful, specifically Danijela who knows a ton about insurance and how that works. A couple of my sons teeth hadn't fully grown in, and Dr. Deepti was so good in proposing how to treat those pieces of his mouth and do his procedure with the utmost care. Most recently we also started orthodontic care with Dr. G. It's really nice to have both our pediatric dentists and orthodontists in one place. Dr. G put an expander in for our daughter and all has been smooth, as far as that goes. Dr. G said the office does both wires and brackets and invisalign for kids - I was SO happy to hear this. Hopefully my kids will continue to love the dentist -- so far so good!

From the first visit, he took a very thorough and thoughtful approach, really taking the time to evaluate everything before making any changes.

It was clear he wasn't just focused on how things looked, but also on making sure my bite and overall function were right. Every adjustment was clearly done with purpose. The level of detail made a huge difference, and the final result came out exactly how it should have from the start.
