If you have a complicated orthodontic case and/or are a likely candidate for maxillofacial surgery, you cannot mess around with your everyday neighborhood orthodontist. You need someone who has dealt with hundreds and thousands of cases like yours -- and harder. You want to be a boring case for them, not the one complicated case they see in their entire career. And for all this, Dr. Klein is absolutely the person you're looking for. I did countless hours of research before originally going with her and I am so glad that I did. I'm part of a jaw surgery recovery group and I cannot tell you the number of horror stories I've read about people going to incompetent orthodontists who do not understand what they are looking at and do not understand that certain cases require surgery *and* orthodontic work combined. They just pull out teeth and put on regular braces that end up making situations way, way worse. I cannot underscore enough the importance of avoiding this. Not only can it be physically devastating but the psychological toll, as attested to by so many in this group, is extreme. As I mentioned, my own case is pretty much as complicated as they come. I ultimately had to get a bilateral total joint replacement (due to ICR), lower jaw surgery, Le Fort I osteotomy, septoplasty, etc. It goes on. The surgery itself was over 12 hours. Dr. Klein saw this the first time I went to her office. She knew exactly what we needed to do. And from that moment through the entire crazy thing - having to switch surgeons four times (!) - she has been the only constant. (A tale for another time but long story short, my first surgeons - surgeons at MGH! - were absolutely incompetent and awful. It was awful and I HIGHLY recommend avoiding them. Dr. Klein helped me end up with one of the best surgeons in the country for my surgery instead, even though he wasn't at MGH [which is where she was at the time]. She and the surgeon I ultimately went with were in constant contact. They could text each other!) Honestly, she's incredible. I have literally never met a doctor who cares more about her patients than Dr. Klein. And more than just "cared" but actually put in who knows how many hours figuring out how to achieve the best outcome. She gave me her cell to call. She always made time for me, though constantly busy. And she advocated for me. Go with Dr. Klein. read more

These days I have very little time to dress and shower forget about writing a review but when it comes to Katie Klein Orthodontics, I had to speak up. I am so sad that my two older sons did not have the opportunity to be patients with this practice. But I am SO grateful that my youngest son, who not only has sensory issues but who struggles tremendously with challenging, new experiences let alone ones that are not always very comfortable or pleasant, has had Katie and her staff for his braces journey. This practice is a more than a giant head and shoulders above the other two experiences I have had with orthodontists. The others were kind, professional and got the job done. ?!?! So, why is Katie so much better? It is hard to put into words how caring, honest, skilled and straightforward this practitioner is without seeming to be exaggerating. But I kid you not... she is the genuine article. Let's start with her ability to make it all look easy. The place is relaxed, clean and as she is chatting away like a good friend you are watching her expertly navigate your child's mouth and any trace of anxiety or discomfort. She makes incredibly difficult tasks look effortless and she smiles through it all. And of course, we need to talk about money. It is transparent from the get go. Financial plans and options are made available and you truly understand not only the cost but the cost benefit... every step of the way. Nothing is hidden, disguised or short-changed. And the highest quality of care is just her standard. What you are hoping for, as well as the reality of achieving this end result with realistic timing of outcomes, are explained clearly and expertly. Even more importantly, your child will be heard, attended to, motivated, supported and ultimately successful at Katie Klein. It is all the somewhat invisible intangibles.... A beyond accommodating front desk staff, frequent appointment reminders and yet no guilt or shame inducing practices when appointments are accidentally forgotten or simply missed due to a myriad of circumstances. It is all the big tangibles. You have an emergency? Or need a last minute appointment? You are not told they accommodated you. You are simply accommodated. Katie Klein and her practice are different, because she is that lightning in a bottle kind of Doctor. Real, compassionate, excellent, hardworking, non-judgmental and true to her word and ethics. You want her in your life. Your teeth and/or your child's teeth will thank you. Sure, you may leave many orthodontists with an externally beautiful smile. But it's the smile on your face that comes from working with a true heart that cares for you and your loved ones from the outside and the inside, that stays with you from here. read more

Dr. Klein came highly recommended by my general dentist wife and her colleagues. She did a terrific job fixing my lower teeth crowding. As a board-certified orthodontist Dr. Klein can bring all the tools to bear: Invisalign as well as traditional metal braces when needed. In my case Invisalign worked well for left right realignment. Dr. Klein also installed traditional braces for a short time to raise one tooth back into vertical alignment. I couldn't be happier with the care or the outcome. She has an outstanding support team, convenient office location with plenty of free parking, never keeps you waiting, and does wonderful work. read more

Katie Klein Orthodontics is hands down the BEST orthodontist experience and practice. Dr. Klein treated my son and he had a severe overbite. Dr. Klein is top notch in her expertise, knowledge and high quality care. Everything went smoothly from start to finish! The office environment is incredible from its state of the art equipment, professionalism, communication, timeliness, follow-ups and warmth. Needham and the greater Metrowest area are truly lucky to have this incredible practice! Thank you to Dr. Klein and her committed staff! read more

Dr. Klein is wonderful! She was recommended to me by my dentist and after my consultation. I wasn't quite ready for the investment at the time and she was like let me know whenever you're ready. Don't know if she really expected me to call 2+ years later ready to start my Invisalign. The entire process was so smooth. She is open, transparent and works with you to ensure you're happy. She truly cares for her patients and is quick to answer if you have any questions or issues. Definitely would recommend her to anyone looking for an orthodontist! read more

I only had one visit with Dr. K. KLEIN, where, after examinning me, she indicated that I did not seem to be in need of Orthodontics services at this time. She indicated that I would need to be seen and followed up by a Dentist, giving me the name of a recommended Dentist. MOST IMPORTANTLY, I would like to point out in absolute candor with much appreciation: * The Office personnel, at the desk and the person who took photographs of me were very professional and exquisite in their demeanor. The person who took the photos, who I think is a Dental hygienist or tech, was very professional, appropriately friendly and very reassuring. * The office seem impeccably clean and most inviting in its layout and exquisite appearance. * The interaction with Dr. KLEIN could NOT have been any better. She was thorough, very comforting and a clinician with knowledge and GREAT EMPATHY to a patient. I felt very relaxed and felt privileged to be in such a professional setting. I cannot overemphasize the very positive impression that my whole visit was characterized by. My continued best wishes to Dr. KLEIN and her excellent staff for a great professional service being provided. read more

I've had a great experience with Dr. Klein and her whole team. I'm very happy with the results and I would highly recommend Klein Orthodontics to anyone in need of orthodontic care for themself or a family member. read more

Katie Klein Orthodontics was a great experience for me. During my consult, they took pictures and Katie herself took an extended amount of time talking to me about my situation. I had done Invisalign in the past and wasn't totally happy with the results. She explained to me very thoroughly my options. I left, feeling very satisfied with what my choices will be. I would recommend her to anyone who wants an honest open opinion without pressure. read more

I cannot recommend Dr. Katie Klein and her team highly enough! Her skill level, compassion and commitment to listening to her patients make her the best possible partner to have in embarking on orthodontic care. Her staff is attentive, responsive and caring -- the practice could not be better! read more

I first Dr Klein back in 2017 after visiting half the orthodontists in the Boston area and getting a wide array of treatment plans I was curious to see what this world class orthodontist had to say. I instantly felt very comfortable when speaking with her and throughout my entire consultation she was very open and receptive to hearing all my worries and concerns. Being a pretty complex case requiring surgery to correct my bite, I was very scared to begin treatment. Ever since I was first in braces at the age of 11, I was told I would never correct my bite without a La Forte 1. So scared that I didn't end up returning to Dr.Klein for treatment until 2019 and I am so thankful that I did. Dr. Klein has worked with some of the best surgeons in the country and I was fortunate enough to have her coordinate my care with Dr. Peacock at MGH and they made an amazing team together. I got my braces on in January of 2020, right before the COVID pandemic and even with this world changing event, Dr. Klein never forgot about her patients. She would video chat with us and check our progress and despite the major shutdowns, she did not let this get in the way of caring for her patients. Up until the day before my surgery, she was in constant contact with both me and the oral surgeon so much so that a complex and complicated surgery went absolutely smoothly. I recently got my braces off a month ago and I am so grateful for everything Dr. Klein has done for me. My smile and bite are incredible, I never in a million years would think that the smile I see in the mirror everyday now would be mine! Dr. Klein is a blessing to the medical community and I cannot recommend her enough for your orthodontic treatment. I know if my kids need braces, there is no one else I would dare consider. read more

My husband is Dr. Klein's patient and we couldn't be happier with her! She's a brilliant doctor and very kind. Her positive energy radiates through, she's always upbeat and her attention to detail Is out of this world. If I could go back to my teen years I would redo my experience with braces with Dr. Klein as my orthodontist. read more

I brought my son to see Dr. Klein about a year ago for some bite issues. She has been incredible. She was patient and kind in explaining her course of treatment to both myself and my son, and answering all our questions in detail. Her personal attention to each patient is a differentiator. We recently had an issue with a retainer and the response from Dr. Klein's office was incredible - we had a new retainer in less than a week. Our appointments have all been fantastic, we never have to wait longer than a couple minutes (if that!), her staff is friendly, the office is beautiful and a pleasant place to sit and wait, and the parking is very easy! I wish all my families medical appointments could be in such a calming and serene environment! read more

I absolutely love Dr. Klein! When I first met with her, I was seeking advice on which course of treatment to pursue. She took the time to walk me through my options and answered all my questions. If you are looking for the best, look no further - she is responsive, caring and incredibly thorough. I am currently undergoing Invisalign treatment, and Dr. Klein always responds quickly to my questions and has been incredibly helpful throughout the process. I feel really lucky that I found Dr. Klein! read more

Dr. Klein is a phenomenal orthodontist. I have been a patient of hers for a few years and she has always provided stellar care. She takes a lot of time to explain what she is doing and listens. I highly recommend her. read more

Dr. Klein is truly a world class orthodontist. I am an oral surgeon myself and there was only one person I trusted with my Invisalign. I came to Dr. Klein with significant dental crowding. My treatment was fast and easy and it was always a pleasure seeing her for my check ups (even when I wasn't being a model patient). I cannot recommend Dr. Klein highly enough. read more

Dr. Katie Klein lived up to her reviews as a brilliantly skilled and compassionate orthodontist. As a busy medical resident, my schedule can be quite hectic and Dr. Klein and her staff have been phenomenal in scheduling my appointments or squeezing me in last minute. I am halfway through my braces journey and I can truly say it has been a blast. I definitely recommend Dr. Klein as she is brilliant, kind and second to none! read more

Dr. Klein is wonderful! I saw her recently for a consultation. She listened patiently to all of my concerns and answered all of the questions I had. She referred me to another specialist to address some jaw alignment issues, but I would definitely see her for an orthodontic needs. read more

I am a patient of Dr. Katherine Klein and would like to pass along how happy I am with the care I've received. My husband and I came in for evaluation for Invisalign/braces. From that first meeting, we were treated with respect and given enough time to ask questions without feeling rushed. We both had braces placed by Dr. Klein. My husband only needed his lower teeth corrected, so he completed treatment within one year. Then our family unexpectedly relocated out of state. I wanted to continue my care with Dr. Klein so I'm flying to Boston for visits. Dr. Klein has a great chairside/bedside manner and rapport with everyone she interacts with in the dental clinic. She also demonstrates proper respect for her patients, and also for her staff. I have often heard her saying to the other staff "good job team" during my visit. If you are an adult debating orthodontic care, I can not recommend Dr. Klein enough. read more

Being a patient of Dr. Klein's has been life-changing for me. My teeth were crooked, my jaw was completely messed up and I was in a fair amount of pain. She went over my options honestly. The price was very reasonable with the large amount of work that would be need to be corrected (which included surgery). She was up front with how long it would take and how much work it would be. She is a fantastic orthodontist and really goes above and beyond what is required of her as a medical professional. She truly cares about each and every one of her patients. She is the co-chair of the orthognathic surgical team at MGH in Boston which is so reassuring. She definitely knows what she is doing and has a lot of experience. She works very closely with my oral surgeon (Dr. David Keith) and they make a great team together. I've recently been informed that my surgery will be coming up soon. I had some simple questions for her and quickly emailed her with those questions. Within an hour, she had called my phone and left me such a nice and reassuring message. I've never had a doctor personally call me before to check in. It really shows how committed she is to her patients. This is my second time around with braces. I had braces as a child and had a horrific experience. I was too ashamed and scared to even go to the dentist, never mind seeing an orthodontist. My life has changed so much because of the great treatment she's given me so far. If I could give her a million stars, I would. Dr. Klein, if you're reading this, thank you so much for giving me a great smile I can be proud of! read more

I add two stars for Dr. Klein because of her beside manner. She contacted me and advocated several improvements to avoid what happened to me happening to other patients again. Also, she helped me reduce some of my financial losses from the dental group. Appreciated what she did for making up the frustrating experience I had. read more

Dr Klein is absolutely amazing! I love my Invisilign results. My teeth were so crowded and overlapping and now they look amazing. My guess is most places take your impressions and do whatever Invisilign says. She knows better she looks at what they recommend and using her expertise works with Invisilign to make adjustments. When your done she'll do as many refinements as you want until you love your results. Please remember though you need to do the work too and wear your aligners. You get out of it what you put into it. read more

Katie Klein Orthodontics - Orthodontists Near Me - Needham, Massachusetts

Dr. Klein is the in-house orthodontist at MGH Dental at Charles River Plaza. Besides being warm and professional and taking the time to make sure I had all of the information I needed, she gave me a BEAUTIFUL smile!! She is a pro with the Invisalign system and worked to make sure that I was completely satisfied. She accurately briefed me what to expect and how to adjust to the program as the months went by. My teeth were crowded and looking a bit crotchety, and now I have a smooth and level smile and beautifully lined up pearly whites! You will NOT be disappointed if you go to see her and learn what she can do for you. Thank you again, Dr. Klein. read more

Dr. Klein is an exceptional orthodontist. Her meticulous approach to orthodontic treatment provides immense peace of mind, making it easier to visualize her intended result. She translates advanced orthodontic practice technique to more easily digestible direction. Referencing her input throughout the course of my treatment helped me to implement the at-home practices required to achieve optimal results. Dr. Klein is also empathetic, demonstrates compassion for her patients, and listens closely to her patients' needs. This allows a free dialogue during which the patient can fully explain what he or she wishes to gain from orthodontic treatment, and how Dr. Klein can bring about those results. Although she has many patients and a busy schedule, she always remembers the details of our last conversation and follows up on other aspects of my life - hallmark attributes of a phenomenal provider. Financing is very simple, with an easily affordable monthly payment plan. The amount I paid for Invisalign was about standard, or a little below, other orthodontists of her caliber. On an important note: It's not widely known that not all Invisalign providers are orthodontists. Some Invisalign providers are general dentists, and while this is a widespread practice, working directly with a trained orthodontist guarantees significantly better results. For example, general dentists may be less aware of root resorption, which can shorten the length of the tooth's root and potentially damage the tooth's overall integrity. While this is a natural (and largely harmless) occurrence with properly administered orthodontic treatment, you are much safer with a specially trained orthodontist who is aware of all the risks and how best to avoid any pitfalls. If you are looking for a perfect smile, meet with Dr. Klein. She's absolutely worth the investment. read more

Dr. Klein changed my life, and I wish I could give her more than five stars! When I first saw Dr. Klein, I told her my only goal was to get out of chronic pain, and now I am pain free and have a fantastic smile! I was a surgical orthodontic patient of Dr. Klein's for a year and a half after being referred to her by my maxillofacial surgeon. Dr. Klein is respected by her peers as well as her patients, and is the most caring physician that I have ever met (as well as a very nice person!) She treats her patients like family, answering phone calls after hours, and in my case coming in from maternity leave to put on my braces! She genuinely cares about all of her patients and their treatments. Very quickly I started to look forward to coming to Boston to see Dr. Klein and move my treatment forward. I traveled two hours each way to see Dr. Klein, and it was well worth all of the time spent traveling. She was very accommodating to my schedule and the fact that I was traveling from a distance to see her. Dr. Klein is a genius when it comes to orthodontics, and I trust her judgement completely. She is undoubtedly the most capable and competent orthodontist I have ever met (and I met with several orthodontists before finding her). The sheer volume of surgical orthodontic cases she has completed makes her an expert in her field; it is what she does. Dr. Klein completed my pre-surgical orthodontia in what felt like record time, and in less than four months after my surgery, I was out of braces. She turned what in my mind should have been an arduous and negative experience into an absolutely positive one, and I am extremely happy with the results. If you are considering getting braces/ surgical orthodontics, go see Dr. Klein! I sure am glad I did! read more

Dr. Klein is an amazing orthodontist!! I went to see her because my teeth had always been slightly crooked, and I wanted to know what my options would be to finally have the smile I have always wanted. She was very patient, and thoroughly explained the differences of traditional braces vs. invisible aligners. I ultimately chose to do Invisalign and I couldn't be happier with the results. ive been completely done with treatment for about 3 months, and I LOVE the way my teeth look. She is a complete perfectionist, and was always checking in to make sure things were progressing exactly as we both wanted. I can't recommend her highly enough. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Klein's for a little under 2 years. She is a kind, honest, direct and positive doctor. She tells you exactly what your treatment plan would be, different options and pricing. Her bedside manner is amazing. Her staff is wonderful. I have such high anxiety, never having had braces in my life and I'm also a surgical patient - so this has been a long haul for me to start in my 40's. Dr. Klein has been so sensitive to my needs, I originally had my appointment to have my braces put on and then I "chickened" out - Dr. Klein said it was completely fine, take some time, come back later - no worries. Who does that??? She is truly wonderful and never rushes or pushes you. She takes the time to explain things before the appt. starts so that you understand. The office has always been on time with my appointments and in terms of pricing I found her to be reasonable for such excellent, high quality service. I can't say enough about Dr. Klein, she has been my "cheerleader" throughout this process. And when my son needs braces, we will be going to her. I completely trust her. read more
