When you are ready to explore all of the options available in orthodontics, our office is a great place to start. Dr. Halabi is a leader in orthodontics, which means there’s no better source to get the answers you need to make the right decision for you and your family. No matter your age, we have orthodontic treatment options that can be custom fit not only to your teeth – but to your life, school and work. From Damon Braces to Clarity Ceramic Clear Braces to Invisalign to Lingual (behind the teeth) Braces, we have something that fits everyone’s need and particular lifestyle.
We are also committed to making the very best treatment affordable so you never need to compromise between quality and affordability. We have a number of flexible payment options including interest-free financing and we will work with you to maximize any insurance benefits you have.
We encourage parents to schedule their child’s initial exam at age 7. In some cases, Dr. Halabi will recommend early, interceptive treatment. With early treatment he can take the least invasive approach to address skeletal issues that, left unchecked, may require more invasive approaches in the future. However, in many cases, we recommend putting off treatment until the child has all of his or her adult teeth. If waiting for treatment is recommended, we’ll see your child once or twice a year to monitor their growth and assess their needs. These very important growth and development appointments are provided free of charge.
Between the ages of 11 and 15 is the most common time for orthodontic treatment, and for good reasons. By 12, most, if not all, of the permanent teeth are in place, and crooked teeth, gaps and bad bites are highly visible. We can often take advantage of the remaining growth to make the necessary orthodontic corrections to create an exceptional smile for your child. Since many of their friends are in braces at the same time, most adolescents LOVE sharing the braces experience. After school visits at Monmouth Ocean Orthodontics feels a lot like friends getting together with friends.
Whether you choose metal or clear braces, hidden braces or Invisalign, at Monmouth Ocean Orthodontics you’ll have the benefit of Customized Smile Design. Like fingerprints, your smile is unique – and so is our computerized system that combines digital orthodontic treatment planning with specially made brackets and wires tailored to your specific dental anatomy. It’s called Insignia, and it’s one of several leading edge treatment approaches available here. The process is simple. First, we scan of your teeth. Then, imaging software translates that into a 3-D representation of your bite. Using Dr. Halabi’s diagnosis and treatment plan, your braces and wires are custom-fabricated. You get your new smile!

Instead, the wire moves freely, and your teeth move quickly and efficiently. With the Damon Smile System, Dr. Halabi provides:
