Below, you’ll find more detail on each option.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
As a certified Invisalign provider, we offer this popular treatment for teens and adults in the shoreline area who prefer a discreet option. These clear, removable trays gradually shift your teeth into alignment without the visible look of metal brackets. Since you can pop them out for meals, special events, or busy days, Invisalign fits right into your routine.
Traditional and Modern Braces
Braces remain one of the most effective ways to correct orthodontic issues. Several options are available:
- Metal braces with smaller, more comfortable brackets than ever before
- Clear ceramic braces for a less visible look
- Self-ligating braces that can reduce treatment time and require fewer adjustment visits
Pediatric Orthodontics and Phase One Treatment
According to the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO), children should have their first orthodontic evaluation by age seven. Early treatment can address developing issues before they become more complex, often simplifying phase two treatment later. Dr. Zaidi evaluates each child individually to determine whether early intervention makes sense or whether it’s better to wait.
Specialized Services
Beyond standard orthodontics, Zaidi Orthodontics also handles more involved needs for Old Saybrook patients:
- TMJ-TMD treatment for jaw discomfort and dysfunction
- Sleep apnea solutions
- Accelerated orthodontics using TADs and mini plates for patients who want faster results
- Surgical orthodontics coordination when needed
Virtual Consultations and Emergency Care
Can’t make it to Zaidi Orthodontics right away? Virtual consultations are available for your convenience. Current patients also have access to emergency orthodontic care when unexpected issues come up.

Frequently Asked Questions About Orthodontic Care in Old Saybrook
Do I need a referral to see an orthodontist near Old Saybrook?
No referral is needed. You can call Zaidi Orthodontics directly or book online. While many family dentists do refer patients to us, you’re always welcome to reach out on your own.
What age should my child first visit an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recommends an initial evaluation by age seven. Dr. Zaidi, a Tufts-trained orthodontist, can identify developing issues at this age and determine if early intervention would benefit your child. Many children don’t need treatment this young, but an early look ensures nothing is missed.
Can my teenager get Invisalign near Old Saybrook?
Yes! As a certified Invisalign provider, we offer this treatment for qualifying teen patients. Invisalign Teen includes features designed for adolescents, including compliance indicators and replacement aligners. During your free consultation, Dr. Zaidi will determine if Invisalign is the right choice for your teen.
How long does orthodontic treatment typically take?
Orthodontic treatment typically takes between 12 and 24 months. The exact timeline depends on factors like the complexity of your bite issues, the treatment method chosen, and how well you follow care instructions. Dr. Zaidi will give you a clear timeline during your initial consultation.
Do you accept insurance and offer flexible payment options?
Yes, Zaidi Orthodontics works with most major insurance plans and offers flexible payment options. Our team will help you understand your benefits. For families without insurance or those needing extra flexibility, we offer low down payments, affordable monthly payments, and extended payment time.
One of the greatest gifts a person can receive is the confidence to smile, and we never want cost to stand in the way.
