Services
Dr. Sonal Patel Maru earned her doctorate of dental medicine (DMD) from Boston University School of Dental Medicine. She did additional training at Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New York before starting her Orthodontic residency program at St. Barnabas Hospital in affiliation with Columbia University.
Our goal at Glastonbury Orthodontics is to make your experience a positive one. At the first visit, we will spend time reviewing your medical/dental history and do a clinical exam in order to determine whether or not treatment is indicated. We will also spend time talking to you about your concerns and goals as far as your teeth are concerned.
Long appointments, when the initial appliances are placed, are usually scheduled in the morning. We understand that your time is valuable and we will attempt to schedule times that are convenient for you. Initial placement of braces can take 1-2 hours and are best done in the morning when patients are fresh and we have the ability to spend the extra time to ensure their comfort.
The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recommends an orthodontic screening for children by the age of 7 years. At age 7 the teeth and jaws are developed enough so that the dentist or orthodontist can see if there will be any serious bite problems in the future. Most of the time treatment is not necessary at age 7, but it gives the parents and dentist time to watch the development of the patient and decide on the best mode of treatment.
In order to have a healthy smile, your child needs teeth and jaws that are properly aligned. The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recommends that your child get a check-up with an orthodontist at the first recognition of the existence of an orthodontic problem, but no later than age 7. Some orthodontic problems may be easier to correct if they're found early.

I am so happy we found Dr. Sonal Maru! My 10-year-old absolutely adores her because she takes the time to explain what she is doing and why she is doing it. SHE IS AN EXTREMELY SKILLED ORTHODONTIST WITH HIGH ETHICAL STANDARDS. Her warm staff and clean office make all of us feel welcome and safe. We know we're in great hands!

Dr. Patel sees 6 members of our family for their orthodontic needs. She is extremely knowledgeable, professional, warm and friendly. Her office staff is friendly and very helpful with any scheduling changes or billing questions. My 5 children look forward to their visits! Dr. Patel is very patient with my younger two children and handled any anxiety they had with expertise and compassion. I highly recommend Dr. Patel for any and all orthodontic needs!!

Dr. Patel is great with kids (and parents). As new clients, she was very patient with answer the many questions we had. Her office is always neat and clean and her staff are friendly and attentive. My kids love going to this office because of the iPads she uses to distract the kids from the dental work they are having done. My kids happily jump in the car to go to Glastonbury Orthodontics!

My experience with Glastonbury Orthodontics was phenomenal! The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and was also extremely helpful when I had questions about my treatment, appointments and insurance. Dr. Patel is my hero of the year for fixing my smile-I feel so confident now that my teeth are back to where they should be and I am beyond grateful to GO! I would highly recommend their services to patients of all ages. If you are seeking an orthodontist, look no further!

As an adult, now with braces, I appreciated the attention to detail, the explanation of options, the caring staff and most important, the skill of Dr. Patel. Having previously gone to the "BIG" orthodontic practice in town for my children, I appreciate the intimate setting and the personal care. It's a calm office and as a result I'm confident with the treatment I'm receiving. I recommend this practice HIGHLY.
