Dr. Carlotto

Dr. Carlotto was initially drawn to the dental field because of the combination of science and connecting with others. After graduating from The Harvard School of Dental Medicine with his DMD, he chose to specialize in orthodontics since it would require even more treatment planning, critical thinking, and customization. All of these years later, and still nothing brings him more joy than seeing his patients’ “before” and “after” photos!

Since earning his Master of Science and Certificate in Orthodontics, Dr. Carlotto has remained committed to pursuing continuing education and advanced training. That way, he can continue to provide his patients in Ashland with the absolute best orthodontic care, cutting-edge technology, and top-tier customer service. When he isn’t helping our patients or completing continuing education with the American Association of Orthodontists, he enjoys listening to podcasts, watching documentaries, watching sports, and running (to balance out all of the ice cream he eats!).

Dr. Alkhoury

When Dr. Alkhoury saw first-hand the positive impact braces could have on someone’s confidence and overall quality of life, he knew he had found the career for him. His decades-long career in the dental field began after he graduated with honors from Boston University and completed a residency in Advanced Education in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics at New York University. Now, he has nearly 30 years of experience under his belt, he’s been recognized by the American Academy of Orthodontists, and he’s completed countless hours of continuing education with professional organizations like the American Dental Association!

Of course, Dr. Alkhoury has lots of interests and passions outside of orthodontics as well. When he isn’t at our office, you’ll likely find him with his family, cheering on the Red Sox, or traveling!

Why Are You Looking for an Orthodontist Near Ashland?

In short, patients visit us for all sorts of reasons – from minor gaps to severe overcrowding. That’s why we offer several orthodontic treatments. Of course, we will review all of our teeth-straightening services with you at your consultation, but, if you want to learn more before then, you’re welcome to click on the pictures below too!

Traditional Braces

Invisalign

Clear Braces

Pediatric Orthodontics

Adult Orthodontics

Traditional Braces

Although traditional braces aren’t as discreet as some of the other orthodontic treatments we offer, they do offer patients numerous benefits. For example, they can effectively address even the most severe cases of malocclusion. Furthermore, they are bonded directly to your teeth, which means you won’t have to worry about meeting your wear time – that’s already baked into your treatment! If you’re interested in learning more about the benefits of this tried-and-true braces option, then don’t hesitate to reach out to our orthodontic team near Ashland.

Invisalign

Today, Invisalign is one of the most popular orthodontic treatments; more than 14 million patients have chosen to straighten their teeth with clear aligners! While their discreet appearance is certainly noteworthy, you also won’t have to worry about adjusting your diet or your oral hygiene regimen since the trays are completely removable. The main “rule” is that you have to wear your aligners for 20-22 hours a day to stay on-track with your treatment plan. Fortunately, even that’s an easy rule to follow if you only remove them to eat and complete your oral hygiene regimen.

Clear Braces

Although numerous patients are candidates for Invisalign, those with more severe cases of malocclusion usually aren’t. Does that mean that your only option is traditional braces? Thankfully, no! Clear braces were designed to offer patients the best of both worlds: the effectiveness of traditional braces and the discreetness of Invisalign. To accomplish this, the brackets and wires are essentially the same color as your teeth. As a result, this orthodontic treatment is considerably more discreet.

Pediatric Orthodontics

Did you know that the American Association of Orthodontists recommends scheduling an appointment for your child around age 7 (or sooner if they are struggling with orthodontic problems)? If your family is in the Ashland area, then you’ll be happy to know that we’re less than a 15-minute drive away! At your child’s appointment, we will take X-rays and conduct a thorough exam to determine if they would benefit from pediatric orthodontics. If they would, then we will discuss our recommendations and help you determine the next best steps to keep your child’s smile healthy, functional, and beautiful throughout the years.

Adult Orthodontics

There’s a common misconception that only children and teens can get braces. That’s not the case! After all, patients of all ages deserve a great smile. Plus, many adult patients don’t experience any hiccups with their orthodontic treatment since they understand the importance of good oral hygiene, their routine visits to our office, and the dietary restrictions. So, whether you’re 22 or 72, don’t let your age stop you from scheduling an appointment with our orthodontists near Ashland. From there, we can review all of the treatment options available to you (including virtually undetectable braces, like Invisalign), and get to work on creating your custom treatment plan.

4 Ways You Can Save

Are you worried that braces will be too expensive to fit into your budget? There’s good news: we offer four financial solutions to help make orthodontic treatment affordable for everyone! At your consultation, we will provide you with an estimate of the cost and review each of the below in-depth. In the meantime, you can click on the icons to learn more.

We Welcome Dental Insurance
We Have an In-House Savings Plan
We Happily Accept Flexible Financing
We Extend Periodic Special Offers

We Welcome Dental Insurance

As an insurance-friendly orthodontic office, we do more than just welcome your benefits – we help you maximize them to the fullest! The best place to start is by providing us with your insurance information so we can check your available benefits. From there, we can provide you with an estimate of your out-of-pocket expenses and answer any questions you have. Finally, we’ll submit the claim on your behalf so saving money is as stress-free and easy as possible.

We Have an In-House Savings Plan

Remember, braces are just one part of your orthodontic treatment. In order to maintain your results, you need to wear a retainer. Since this orthodontic appliance can get worn-out or lost throughout the years, our team at Simply Orthodontics decided to create our Preferred Plan. When you join, you get access to benefits like replacement retainers, free retainer checks, and even a take-home whitening kit (for patients over the age of 16)!

We Happily Accept Flexible Financing

Of course, not all patients have dental insurance. In fact, roughly 50% of patients don’t! If you’re a part of this group, then consider flexible financing. With trusted third-party financiers like LendingPoint, you don’t have to pay for the entire cost of braces at once. Instead, you can choose one of their payment plans that space out your payments into small, monthly chunks. Perhaps even better, there are some options with no down payment required!

We Extend Periodic Special Offers

One of the easiest ways to reduce your out-of-pocket expenses is by taking advantage of our periodic promotions! Our “Free Orthodontic Consultation” offer is a perfect example. With it, you can come into our office, meet our team, and learn all about your treatment options before signing on the dotted line. If you want to learn what our latest specials are, you have two options: visit the “promotions” page on our website or call us directly.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you’ve made it to the end of this page, but you find yourself still wanting to learn more, don’t worry – we’ve dedicated this next section to FAQs for that very reason! Feel free to read through the below questions and answers to learn more about emergency orthodontic care, the financial solutions we offer, and more. If you can’t find the information you’re looking for here, then give us a call!

What level of education is required to be an orthodontist?

The very first step is earning an undergraduate degree and being accepted to one of 67 accredited dental schools in the U.S. Then, the aspiring orthodontist must complete three years of intensive in-classroom and hands-on training to earn their Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) or a Doctor of Dental Sciences (DDS). Although they have roughly seven years of schooling under their belt at this point, they need to complete an additional step: specialty training in orthodontics. Even after becoming an orthodontist, their training is far from over since they need to complete continuing education courses annually in order to maintain their license.

How do I get emergency orthodontic care?

Fortunately, orthodontic emergencies are relatively rare. With that said, if you find yourself with a broken bracket or wire, you should call our orthodontist near Ashland ASAP so that we can schedule an appointment for you as soon as possible.

It’s important that we mention here that potentially life-threatening symptoms (like uncontrollable bleeding or extreme facial swelling) warrant a visit to the ER.

We also don’t want to end this section without discussing the ways you can dramatically reduce your chances of experiencing an orthodontic emergency. A few examples include: avoiding crunchy foods, implementing a solid oral hygiene regimen, and quitting unhealthy dental habits, like biting your nails.

What do you do if you can't afford an orthodontist?

Patients often assume that braces won’t fit into their budget. However, our team offers four financial solutions to ensure that’s not the case! If you’re insured, then we will see if your provider covers a portion of the cost. If you’re uninsured, then we can explore the other options available, including our periodic special offers and flexible financing.

What is the best way to find an orthodontist?

There are several ways you can find an orthodontist – from asking your colleagues for their recommendations to searching “orthodontist near me” on Google. Before that, however, we strongly encourage you to pinpoint what’s important to you as a patient. Are you looking for a practice that accepts your dental insurance? Are you looking for a team that offers Invisalign? Asking (and answering) questions like these will help you find the best orthodontist for you.
