Dr. Fred Friedman practices Orthodontics in Brewster, New York.

As an orthodontist, Dr. Friedman 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. Friedman also has training in facial estetics and has been using fillers and neuromodulators, such as botox for years.

My son is 3 years old and is still on the bottle. Will it have an impact on the shape of his teeth?
It will affect his teeth only if you let him sleep with the bottle which you should never allow. Using a bottle to drink from should not affect how his teeth erupt. Nor should it increase his chance of getting cavities. Just make sure that after he’s done drinking you take the bottle away from him/her. Do not let it just sit in his/her mouth. READ MORE
I wear my retainer, so why are my teeth still shifting?
Your teeth might have been moved to a slightly unstable position or bodies change some over time or some teeth might be slightly out of proportion. Go back to your orthodontist and let him take a look. READ MORE
