Dr. Broess earned his D.D.S. degree at the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands before attending Harvard School of Dental Medicine, where he completed his orthodontic specialty training and earned his Doctorate in Oral Biology and D.M.D. degrees. From 1991- 2007 he has served as a Teaching Fellow, Clinical Instructor and Visiting Orthodontic Examiner at Harvard School of Dental Medicine.
Orthodontic treatment involves the movement of teeth, changing the growth of the jawbones, and guiding the eruption of teeth. Orthodontics is the oldest dental specialty. It takes four years of college, four years of dental school, and 2 to 3 years of attending a full-time accredited specialty program to become an orthodontist.
By age 7 your child will have enough permanent teeth for an orthodontist to determine if an orthodontic problem exists or is developing. Waiting for the eruption of all the permanent teeth could not be in the best interest of your child's dental development. When all permanent teeth have erupted your child is likely close to finishing his or her growth, limiting the option of correction of his or her bite by modifying the growth of the jaws.
Most adults we see at our office for an orthodontic consultation are unhappy with the esthetics of their smile. With clear aligners like Invisalign and cheaper generic alternatives, there is no reason not to go ahead with orthodontic treatment and achieve the smile you want. The average treatment time for adults is 9-14 months with clear aligners.
Clear braces are a popular option for teenagers and adults looking for a more discrete form of traditional braces. These braces are not aligner trays like Invisalign, but instead are conventional braces that have clear ceramic brackets that make them harder to spot. These can be an excellent alternative for patients that are unable to benefit from other clear orthodontic options.

Every part of our experience with Dr. Maarten Broess, the orthodontist in Johnston, has been excellent. My child's teeth look straight and beautiful. Appointments have been easy to make, and the office stays on schedule. Everyone in the office is professional, but also friendly. I highly recommend Dr. Broess!
