For children, teens and adults looking for a healthy, attractive smile, the all new, state-of-the art office of Barry Glaser, DMD boasts a light-hearted, youthful feel that provides a relaxing backdrop for the numerous orthodontic services provided.

Dr. Glaser and his experienced staff strive to provide excellent orthodontics and dento-facial orthopedics for both children—who, according to the American Association of Orthodontics, should go for an orthodontic visit by the age of 7—and adults. Traditional braces with their colorful bands provide an optimal treatment option for those in their younger years. (In fact, kids can plan the combination or pattern of colors of bands they want to get at their next visit using the “Band Color Planner” on Dr. Glaser’s Web site.)

And for kids, a host of games and prizes make a visit to this orthodontist fun. Throughout the year, Dr. Glaser and his staff hold contests—like the Valentine’s Day heart coloring contest, the Halloween pumpkin decorating contest, and the summer vacation “postcard from the most remote location” contest—offering youngsters the opportunity to win cash prizes and be featured on the Glaser Orthodontics Web site. Additionally, as a motivational tool, Dr. Glaser offers wooden nickels for good behavior (and a great smile) that children can collect and trade in for prizes. The office makes a conscientious effort to give back to the community and support the endeavors of all of its patients.

Parents also might want to consider improving their smiles and teeth alongside their children at Dr. Glaser’s practice, seeing as how an increasing number of studies are suggesting a correlation between gum disease and other ailments such as heart disease. “Adult orthodontics is actually the most rapidly growing part of the practice, and many adults can be treated with Invisalign,” says Dr. Glaser, who is a certified Invisalign provider and gives lectures on the procedure to dental and hygiene study clubs and societies throughout the area. Invisalign, clear tray aligners that invisibly fit over the teeth, are also ideal for teenagers and adults who would rather pass on the colorful bands and visible metal wires.

Dr. Glaser received his doctoral degree from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine and received his specialty certification in orthodontics from the Boston University School of Graduate Dentistry. In addition to taking numerous continuing education classes to keep abreast of the newest developments in his field, he is also an active member of several professional organizations including the American Association of Orthodontists, the American Dental Association, the Ninth District Dental Association, and the Peekskill-Yorktown Dental Society, of which he is a past president, and served for three years as the associate director of orthodontics at Montefiore Medical Center.
