Orthodontist? Somerville or Cambridge Orthodontics

[avjudge]

I've seen a lot of threads on dentists, but a search brings up nothing recent on orthodontists (and the thread from 3 years ago didn't actually have any recommendations).

I just acquired a 14yo who needs braces. He has MassHealth Standard insurance. Participating dentists in the area include Robert Petrosino and Afsaneh Samadani at Cambridge Orthodontics between Harvard & Porter Squares, and Mohamed Butt on Summer St near Davis.

Does anyone know anything about any of these? (From a professional standpoint - not the Dr. Butt/developer feud! When I mapped his office I realized why that name sounded familiar.)

I went to Cambridge Orthodontics two years ago for Invisalign (I am 27). I had an awesome experience and I have now had retainers at night for the last year and I love going in for my checkups. He was very thorough and every time I went there were always kids between 9-16ish there. I saw Dr. Petrosino. Also the assistants are very nice too. They have late hours as well.

I couldn't have been happier with Dr. Samadani and her entire staff. They're all amazingly friendly and I think they did a great job with my teeth.

I'm curious though, how one acquires a 14yo. Did you pick him up at Buffalo Exchange?

Sounds like a new foster kid, to me, unless she was just being glib about her own offspring to be funny :)

Pretty much, just informal, in-family.
