One of my regrets is not coming here sooner. Honestly, if I could do it all over, I’d save my self much grief and go directly to Dr. Messana at Hudson County Orthodontics. Background: I’m under 30 and have gone through 4 different orthodontic treatments since I was 15 years old. I’ve had regular braces, Invisalign, lingual braces(behind your teeth), and my last treatment plan was Invisalign once again. My biggest issue has been compliance with retainers and in some cases, negligent orthodontists. I grew up in JC Heights and they’ve been there since the 90s. For some reason, I never went there as a teen or an adult. I ended up going there because my teeth shifted(ONCEAGAIN) and my niece went there with nothing but positive things to say about her experience. Quick Highlights: –Staff is friendly –Facilities are clean –They regularly have entertaining kids movies playing in the lobby(e.g. The Incredibles, Frozen, etc.) and each seat has a flat screen as well. Your inner kid will enjoy this. –Dr. Messana inspires trust and confidence. He’s an easy going guy but is very competent and professional –Flexible payment plan options Prices: As far as price goes, I’d say he’s not the cheapest out there — which in my experience is a positive since you do get what you pay for — BUT he’s also not nearly the most expensive. I paid a reasonable price for my Invisalign treatment with him and I’m confident I got my money’s worth. Although, I do recommend discussing this after consultation and checking what coverage you have available through insurance. Outcome: I’m happy to say that my teeth are straight and I don’t expect them to shift. Dr. Messana recommended lingual retainers to keep my teeth from shifting for now and they seem to be working fine. Out of the 4 orthodontists I’ve worked with, he was the first to make this recommendation. Don’t live a life of regret, check out Hudson County Ortho!
