Best of the Best Mentality
My Orthodontist is setting a new standard in orthodontic care—combining advanced technology, clinical excellence, and a commitment to both patients and team members.
A person’s smile is one of the most defining aspects of their appearance—impacting confidence, self-image, and overall well-being. For many, improving their smile is not just cosmetic, but life-changing.
Orthodontic treatment remains one of the most effective ways to achieve that transformation. In South Jersey, My Orthodontist has distinguished itself as a premier provider—recently named Best of the Best for the second consecutive year and continuing to expand as one of the fastest-growing orthodontic organizations in the region.
At its core, My Orthodontist is driven by a clear mission: to improve patients’ oral health while creating meaningful, long-term career opportunities for its team. This commitment is rooted in a culture focused on excellence, growth, and impact.
With multiple locations across New Jersey and Pennsylvania, the practice delivers advanced, technology-driven care, including modern aligner systems such as Invisalign® and Clarity™, along with AI-assisted treatment planning and digital simulations to enhance precision and outcomes.
“Aligner technology has advanced tremendously. Many cases that previously required traditional braces can now be treated predictably with aligners, offering patients a more convenient and comfortable experience,” says Dr. Ronald Saffar, board-certified orthodontist and founder.
One of the key distinctions of My Orthodontist is its ability to treat patients across all stages of life and levels of complexity.
The practice places a strong emphasis on early interceptive (Phase I) treatment, typically for children in mixed dentition between the ages of 8 and 12. By identifying developing orthodontic issues early, the team can guide jaw growth, create space for erupting teeth, and reduce the need for more invasive procedures later.
“These early treatments—such as expanders, habit appliances, and space management—allow us to simplify future care and often prevent the need for extractions or surgery,” Dr. Saffar explains.
At the same time, My Orthodontist treats a significant number of adult patients, including those in their senior years. Whether addressing long-standing alignment issues or preparing for restorative dental work, adult orthodontics plays a critical role in improving both function and aesthetics.
“Orthodontic treatment is not limited by age. We regularly treat adults of all ages who want healthier teeth, better function, and increased confidence,” says Dr. Saffar.
For more complex cases, the practice takes a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach—working closely with general dentists, periodontists, prosthodontists, and a network of highly skilled oral surgeons. This collaboration allows the team to successfully treat surgical and advanced orthodontic cases with precision and predictability.
“Orthodontics is often one component of a much larger treatment plan. By coordinating care across specialties, we’re able to deliver exceptional long-term outcomes—even in the most complex cases,” he adds.
Beyond clinical excellence, the patient experience remains a top priority. From the initial consultation, the team focuses on reducing anxiety, simplifying financial options, and ensuring transparency throughout treatment. Flexible payment plans and broad insurance participation help make care accessible to a wide range of patients.
Modern orthodontic techniques are non-invasive and designed to minimize discomfort, helping patients feel at ease throughout their journey.
Patients consistently report not only improved oral health, but also increased confidence and quality of life.
“Straight teeth contribute to long-term dental health, but the greatest impact is the confidence patients gain. That transformation is incredibly powerful,” Dr. Saffar says.
Internally, My Orthodontist is equally focused on building a strong, values-driven organization. The company emphasizes positivity, teamwork, integrity, and a commitment to excellence—while creating one of the most sought-after workplaces in orthodontics. Team members are supported with clear career paths, competitive compensation, and ongoing professional development.
“We’re committed to building careers—not just jobs. Our goal is for every team member to grow within the organization and see a long-term future here,” says Annabel Cancel, Vice President of Operations.
The practice also remains deeply connected to the communities it serves, supporting local schools, organizations, and charitable initiatives throughout the region.
Looking ahead, My Orthodontist plans to continue expanding while staying at the forefront of innovation in orthodontic care.
“Our goal is to deliver the best experience across every touchpoint—clinical care, technology, team, and accessibility. We believe we are setting a new standard for orthodontics,” Dr. Saffar says.
