We are the Brooklyn Center for Invisalign ®

By Blog

As a Park Slope orthodontist and Platinum Invisalign Provider, I’ve perfected a lot of smiles with Invisalign in Brooklyn. In fact, Fresh Orthodontics is your Brooklyn Center for Invisalign and we’re among the leading providers in the city. While braces are still a great option, I know many patients love the esthetics and convenience of Invisalign and Invisalign Teen. Well, my team and I are here to help! After all, we firmly believe you should feel just as confident with the form of treatment you choose as you will when you see your results.

The 17 Best Brooklyn Coffee Shops

By Blog, Community

There are so many amazing things about Brooklyn: the parks, the shopping, the awesome events, the food and your favorite Park Slope orthodontist, to name a few. Another thing we really excel at in our borough is the coffee! Our coffee shops are second to none. It makes sense. After all, in the 19th and early 20th century, the Arbuckle Brothers operated the largest coffee company in the United States out of Brooklyn and even roasted and sold the country’s first popular coffee brand, Ariosa. Our borough’s obsession with coffee continues to this day. Whether you just want to grab…

As an entrepreneur who started a Brooklyn orthodontic practice, I really believe that success, whether at work or in school, comes from taking action, always learning and dreaming big. But, sometimes, it’s really hard to get there without the right confidence boost or the ability to make the first impression you want. That’s where having a healthy, beautiful smile comes in. I know this first hand because I was self-conscious about how my teeth looked growing up and orthodontic treatment changed my life and outlook. Your smile plays an important role in your self-esteem.

How To Prevent TMD and TMJ Problems

By Blog

If you touch your face right in front of your ear while opening and closing your jaw, you’ll feel your temporomandibular joint (TMJ) at work. It might seem pretty straightforward but it’s a surprisingly complex joint. When the going is good, you can let out a yawn or take a huge bite of that burger without thinking twice.

As a Certified Specialist in Orthodontics, Dr. Khanna doesn’t just make smiles…
