– DaveVery Happy
We had a great experience with Somerset Orthodontic Specialists with my son. The staff have all been kind and professional. The office always had time slots that worked for us and we never waited long for an appointment. We are very happy with the progress that has been made with my son’s teeth. We will definitely be back if either of my children needs further orthodontic care.

Orthodontic Treatments in Somerville
Somerville Braces
Braces in Somerville remain one of the most effective and reliable ways to correct orthodontic concerns. They provide the precision and control needed to address crowding, spacing, bite issues, and other alignment problems while creating healthy, lasting results.
At Somerset Orthodontic Specialists, Somerville braces are available in both traditional metal and clear options. Dr. Peterman and Dr. Fogge will help you select the treatment that best fits your smile, goals, and lifestyle.
The metal or ceramic brackets, wires, and bands work together to apply the gentle pressure that will gradually move the teeth into the positions we want them to be in, as long as you have regular adjustments with our board-certified doctors.
Somerville Invisalign
Clear aligners are incredibly popular with both patients and orthodontists in Somerville and are the top alternative to traditional braces. Instead of brackets and bands, clear aligner systems use a series of clear, removable trays to gradually straighten your teeth.
Invisalign and our in-house aligners are made of a comfortable plastic material and customized to fit snugly over your teeth. To keep your teeth moving in the direction you want them to, you’ll need to switch your invisible trays out for the next one in the series every one to two weeks as directed by Dr. Peterman or Dr. Fogge.
Successful treatment depends on wearing your aligners consistently. For the best results, clear aligners should be worn 20–22 hours per day and removed only for meals and oral hygiene. Following your treatment instructions carefully helps keep your smile on track.
Our in-house and Invisalign aligners are at their most efficient when correcting many of the most common orthodontic issues. For some complex cases, clear aligners may not be a good option. A free consultation with Dr. Peterman and Dr. Fogge at Somerset Orthodontic Specialists in Somerville will allow us to determine your eligibility for removable treatment.
