Orthodontist Serving Arlington
If you live in Arlington and have been putting off orthodontic treatment because you assumed it meant a long drive, the trip to our Bennington office is shorter than you might think. Dr. Greg Efros and our team see patients from Arlington and the surrounding Vermont towns regularly, and we've built our scheduling and treatment approach around making that drive worth it.
Whether you're looking into braces for a child, Invisalign for yourself, or you just have questions about a smile that doesn't feel quite right, this page walks through what to expect. Our goal is straightforward: give Arlington families clear, honest information and a comfortable place to get treatment started.
Braces for Every Stage of Treatment
Braces remain one of the most reliable ways to move teeth and correct bite issues, and we offer a few different types depending on what fits your life and your smile goals. During your visit, Dr. Efros will walk through the options with you so you can pick what feels right, not just what's popular.
Our braces page covers the different bracket types and who each one suits best.
Traditional Metal Braces
Metal braces are the classic choice, and for good reason. They're durable, effective for a wide range of bite and spacing issues, and often the most straightforward option for kids and teens who are hard on their appliances. Many patients also like to add colored bands, which turns a necessary treatment into something a little more personal.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces work the same way as metal ones but use tooth-colored or clear brackets that blend in more with your natural smile. They tend to appeal to teens and adults who want effective treatment without the same visual presence as metal brackets. We'll talk through the care differences so you know what maintaining them looks like day to day.
Clear Aligners
For patients who qualify, clear aligners offer another path to straighter teeth without traditional brackets and wires. They're removable, which some patients find easier to fit around sports, instruments, or daily routines. We'll help you figure out whether your case is a good match for this approach.
Invisalign for Arlington Patients
Invisalign has become a go-to option for teens and adults in Arlington who want to straighten their teeth without a mouth full of metal. The aligners are clear, removable for eating and brushing, and generally low-profile enough that coworkers and classmates may not notice you're in treatment at all.
Not every case is right for Invisalign, and that's something we assess honestly at your first visit rather than assuming it's the answer for everyone. If Dr. Efros thinks another option will serve your bite better, we'll say so and explain why.
Our Invisalign page answers the questions patients ask most about living with aligners.
Treatment for Kids, Teens, and Adults
Orthodontic needs look different depending on age, and we treat patients across that whole range from our Bennington office. For younger kids, early evaluation can catch developing bite issues before they become bigger problems. For teens, we focus on treatment that fits around school, sports, and social life, with options like traditional braces, ceramic braces, or Invisalign depending on the case.
Adults from Arlington shouldn't assume it's too late to start. A good number of our patients are grown adults who finally decided to address something they'd lived with for years, whether that's crowding, spacing, or a bite that's never felt comfortable. Age isn't a barrier to a healthier, straighter smile.
What Your First Visit Looks Like
Your first visit to our Bennington office is mostly about information, both for us and for you. We'll take a look at your teeth and bite, talk through your goals, and answer whatever questions you've been holding onto about braces, Invisalign, or the process in general.
From there, Dr. Efros will explain what he's seeing and what options make sense for your situation. There's no pressure to decide anything on the spot. We want you to leave that first appointment with a clear picture of your options and enough information to make a decision that feels right for you or your child.
