Ready for your awesome smile? Let’s take a look.
Explore the treatments we use to help Greenwich families smile brighter every day. From modern braces and clear aligners to early treatment and advanced appliances, every plan is designed around your life, your goals, and your comfort.
At Riverside Orthodontics, you don’t get a one size fits all plan. Your customized plan will ensure that you get the right mix of braces or aligners for your smile and lifestyle.
Standard metal braces remain one of the most reliable ways to correct a wide range of orthodontic issues. Today’s metal braces are smaller, smoother, and more comfortable than ever, making them a great option for kids, teens, and adults alike.
LightForce custom braces take things a step further. Each bracket is 3D printed and individually designed to fit your teeth, which can make treatment more precise and more efficient while improving comfort.
Riverside Orthodontics offers clear aligner options for patients who want a more discreet look. Custom-made, nearly invisible trays gently move your teeth over time while you remove them to eat, brush, and floss.Clear aligners can treat concerns like crowding, gaps, crossbites, overbites, and underbites when used under the care of an orthodontic specialist.
Straightening teeth is not just for teenagers. Riverside Orthodontics cares for kids, teens, and adults, tailoring each plan to where you are in life.
Early orthodontic evaluations help spot problems with jaw growth, spacing, and bite before they become more complicated to treat. By intervening at the right time, Dr. Kesselman can often guide growth, reduce the need for more extensive treatment later including extractions, make future braces faster and simpler.
The teen years are the most common time to straighten teeth. This is when crowding, spacing, and bite issues are easiest to correct as the jaws are still growing. A straighter smile can boost confidence at a key age and help prevent future problems like uneven wear, jaw pain, or hard to clean areas that increase the risk of cavities and gum issues.
More and more adults in and around Greenwich are choosing orthodontic care to improve their smile, support long term dental health, or get ready for a big life moment. Whether you never had braces, did not wear your retainer, or just want a refresh, Riverside Orthodontics offers discreet, effective options built around your schedule and goals.
Braces and aligners do a lot, but they cannot do everything alone. Certain smiles need special appliances to guide jaw growth, correct habits, or hold teeth in their new positions. Dr. Kesselman uses a range of well‑tested appliances and will explain exactly why each one is recommended and how it helps.
You may hear about appliances like:
Each appliance is customized to your treatment plan, and the team will walk you and your child through how to wear and care for it.
Orthodontic treatment does more than make teeth look straighter, it helps your bite work the way it should. Some of the most common issues Dr. Kesselman treats include:
At your consultation, Dr. Kesselman will show you exactly what he sees and explain the simplest, most effective way to correct it.
Sometimes the jaws are not in harmony, and braces or aligners alone cannot fully correct the problem. When that happens, jaw surgery (also called orthognathic surgery) can help improve how you chew, speak, breathe, and even how your face looks.
Riverside Orthodontics works closely with trusted oral and maxillofacial surgeons to plan these cases from start to finish. Dr. Kesselman coordinates the orthodontic treatment before and after surgery so that your teeth and jaws come together in a stable, healthy position for lasting results.
Riverside Orthodontics invests in modern technology to make treatment safer, more comfortable, and more precise.
Digital X rays provide clear images with significantly less radiation than traditional film, thanks to more sensitive sensors and dose optimized settings. The Kavo 3d Pro system allows the team to capture high quality images using the lowest dose needed and often fewer retakes, which helps keep overall exposure as low as reasonably possible.
No goop. No gag. No worries. The iTero Element Scanner creates a fast, comfortable 3D digital model of your teeth and gums, no messy impressions required. You can breathe and swallow normally while the scanner captures a detailed image that appears on screen almost immediately. These precise scans help design better fitting Spark aligners, LightForce custom braces, and retainers, often reducing the need for remakes and mid course corrections.
Advanced 3D imaging lets Dr. Kesselman see teeth, roots, and jaws in three dimensions for more accurate diagnosis and planning. Because modern 3D systems use sensitive digital detectors, focus on specific areas, and reduce the need for repeat images, they can provide this detail at a lower overall dose than older imaging methods.
