Get to know Invisalign Dentist, Lingualorthodontist & Orthodontist Dr. Lawrence Piekarsky, who serves patients in Wayne, New Jersey.

Dr. Lawrence Piekarsky practices Orthodontics in Wayne, NJ. Comprehensive orthodontic treatment includes metal wires that are inserted into orthodontic brackets, which can be made from stainless steel or a more aesthetic ceramic material.

The wires interact with the brackets to move teeth into desired positions. Being advanced in the field, Dr. Piekarsky may also use Invisalign or other aligner trays that have been designed to align a patient’s smile.

As an orthodontist, Dr. Piekarsky must recognize various characteristics of a malocclusion or dentofacial deformity, define the nature of the problem, including the etiology if possible, and design a treatment strategy based on the specific needs and desires of the patient.

Dr. Larry earned his Bachelor of Science degree from Albright College in 1982 and his Doctorate of Dental Medicine from the University of Pennsylvania in 1986. He completed his Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study in 1989 at Boston University.

Dr. Piekarsky is proud to have been voted by his peers as a NJ Monthly Magazine Top Orthodontist every year since.

Dr. Larry has always been involved with the community, whether in sponsoring sports programs in town or literary contests for free braces for underprivileged kids.

He also sponsors events for various cancer organizations and the Special Olympics. He has always believed in being involved with the community and supporting it in any way possible.

Away from the office, Dr. Larry enjoys a variety of activities. He is a seasoned golfer, a martial arts expert, and enjoys working out, basketball, and spending quality time with his family.

As Piekarsky Orthodontics celebrates 50 years of creating Piekarsky smiles, Dr. Larry proudly continues to build patient relationships started by his father. In fact, he is now treating the children and grandchildren of some of the patients his father treated.
