Orthodontist Serving Center Square
If you live in Center Square, you already know the neighborhood has a rhythm all its own — rowhouses close together, a walkable layout, and a mix of neighbors who have been there for decades alongside newer residents. When it's time to find an orthodontist, you want someone close enough to fit into that routine without adding a long drive to your week.
Dr. Greg Efros and the team at Efros Orthodontics treat patients from Center Square at our Albany office, just a short trip from the neighborhood. We work with kids, teens, and adults, and we build treatment plans around real schedules — not the other way around.
Getting to Our Albany Office
Our Albany office sits west of Center Square on Western Avenue, a straightforward 15 to 20 minute drive depending on traffic. You won't need to plan your whole day around an appointment. For families juggling work, school, and everything in between, that matters more than it sounds like it should.
We schedule appointments with that reality in mind, and we try to keep visits efficient so you can get back to your day.
Braces for Every Stage of Life
Braces have come a long way, and there's rarely a one-size-fits-all answer. Some patients want the tried-and-true option. Others want something less noticeable. We'll walk you through what fits your bite, your habits, and your preferences.
Take a closer look at each option on our Albany braces page before your consultation.
Traditional Metal Braces
Metal braces remain a dependable, effective choice for correcting a wide range of bite and alignment issues. They're durable, work well for complex cases, and today's brackets are smaller and more comfortable than the ones many parents remember from their own childhoods.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces use tooth-colored or clear brackets that blend in more with your natural smile. They work similarly to metal braces but appeal to patients, especially teens and adults, who want a more discreet look during treatment.
Clear Aligners
For some patients, clear aligners offer another path to straighter teeth without traditional brackets and wires. We'll help you figure out whether this option makes sense for your specific bite.
Invisalign for a Discreet, Flexible Option
Invisalign has become a popular choice for Center Square patients who want to straighten their teeth without a mouth full of metal. The clear, removable trays let you eat what you want and brush and floss normally, which many adults and older teens appreciate.
Dr. Efros will evaluate your bite to see if Invisalign is a good match. Not every case is right for aligners, but when it fits, patients often like the low profile it offers during everyday life, meetings, and photos.

Treatment for Kids, Teens, and Adults
Center Square is home to families at every stage, and orthodontic needs look different depending on age. Younger kids may benefit from an early evaluation to catch developing bite issues before they become bigger problems. Teens are often ready for full treatment with braces or Invisalign as their permanent teeth come in.
Adults from the neighborhood shouldn't count themselves out either. It's increasingly common for adults to seek treatment, whether they never had braces as a kid or their teeth have shifted over time. We treat patients across all these stages and tailor the approach to what your mouth actually needs.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
Your first visit is mostly about getting a clear picture of your teeth, jaw, and bite. We'll take a look, ask about any concerns you have, and use that information to talk through what treatment options make sense for you or your child.
You'll leave with a clearer sense of next steps, whether that means starting treatment, waiting and monitoring growth, or exploring different options like braces versus Invisalign. There's no pressure to decide on the spot.
