Orthodontist Serving Ghent
If you live in Ghent, you already know the short drive into Hudson is a familiar one, whether you're headed for groceries, errands, or dinner out. That same drive takes you to Dr. Greg Efros and the team at Efros Orthodontics, where Ghent families come for braces and Invisalign treatment.
We work with kids, teens, and adults from Ghent and the surrounding towns. Our Hudson office was built to make orthodontic visits simple, straightforward, and a little less stressful than you might expect.
Braces for Every Stage of Treatment
Braces remain one of the most reliable ways to move teeth and correct bite issues, and modern versions look and feel different than what you might remember. We offer a few options so you and Dr. Efros can pick the one that fits your goals, your daily habits, and your comfort level.
Our braces page lays out the differences between them in more detail.
Traditional Metal Braces
Metal braces are the workhorse of orthodontics. They're durable, effective for a wide range of tooth movement and bite correction, and often the most budget-conscious option. Many kids and teens from Ghent choose metal braces, sometimes picking colored bands to make the experience their own.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces work like traditional braces but use tooth-colored brackets that blend in more with your smile. Adults and teens who want something less noticeable, but still want the strength of braces, often ask us about this option during a first visit.
Clear Aligners
For patients who prefer removable trays over fixed brackets, clear aligners offer another path to straighter teeth. We'll talk through whether this option makes sense for your specific bite and lifestyle during your consultation.
Invisalign for a More Flexible Approach
Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners that gradually shift your teeth into place. Because the trays are removable, you can take them out to eat, brush, and floss like normal, which appeals to a lot of our patients from Ghent who want treatment to fit quietly into daily life.
Invisalign works well for many types of tooth movement, though not every case is a good match. Dr. Efros will look at your teeth and bite and let you know honestly whether Invisalign or braces makes more sense for you.

Treatment for Kids, Teens, and Adults
Orthodontic needs look different depending on age, and we treat patients across the board. For kids, an early evaluation lets Dr. Efros keep an eye on how the jaw and teeth are developing, and step in with treatment only when it's actually needed.
Teens make up a large share of our patients, and we work to make the experience as painless as possible, both literally and socially, with options like ceramic braces or Invisalign alongside traditional metal braces.
Adults from Ghent come to us too, often for concerns they've lived with for years or for changes that have shifted over time. It's never too late to ask about your options, and plenty of adult patients are pleasantly surprised by how manageable treatment can be.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
Your first visit to our Hudson office is mostly about getting to know your teeth, your bite, and your goals. Dr. Efros will do a hands-on exam, likely take some images, and talk with you about what he's seeing and what your options look like.
This is also your chance to ask questions. Bring up anything on your mind, whether it's about how braces feel day to day, how Invisalign trays are cared for, or simply what the next steps would be if you decide to move forward.
There's no pressure to make a decision on the spot. We want you to leave your first visit with clear information, not a hard sell.
