We see dr. Morrison in red bank. It’s a bit of a commute, but she’s airway informed and has a holistic, functional view on teeth, jaws, airway, spine and the rest of the body.

Emerald, do you know if dr Morrison. Tries to save adult teeth. My other ortho is telling me to remove 4 adult teeth bc of my child’s protruding jaw line and I can’t fathom doing it.

I paid a large initial payment. And then monthly for 2 years.
I’m pretty sure had I negotiated the initial payment may have been less.

One kid so far only got a pallet expander and I paid 2500, I think 3 years ago. Still waiting to see if she needs braces. We go back every year, no additional charge.

My other kid, had pallet expander and braces for 2 years, we paid a total of 6500.

I use him for 2 kids bh happy a little far but they take us in right away and try to schedule with other appt like cavity and cleanings. No weekend or night appointments.

I used Friedman and couldn’t be happier. My daughter recently had her braces taken off. Dr Friedman is a real mench, the office staff is extremely friendly and pleasant and appointments were in and out - no long wait times.

I was surprised that 2 of my kids had their braces completely covered through Jersey care. The staff at dr krugs office knows how to work with the insurance company. I would have paid if I had to because their teeth were so bad along with the bone structure of the mouth. I’m very grateful that krugs office knew what to tell the insurance company.

It definitely doesn’t hurt trying, she does a free initial consult. In general, airway informed orthos are not in favor of pulling teeth because it makes a small mouth even smaller, which in turn compromises the airway even more (which ends up making the mouth smaller, it’s a vicious cycle) They are very much in favor of expanding the jaw by bringing the palate down and out. I can’t promise they can always save the situation, but she recommends myofunctional therapy which can help a lot, and our myofunctional therapist sent us for craniosacral therapy which can also help a ton. Morrison is airway informed and holistic but also uses traditional orthodontics. If you want someone holistic and airway informed and even more top notch you can see dr Barry Raphael. But he’s far from lkwd, and he’s $$$.
