Center City Orthodontics

Center City Orthodontics is a specialized orthodontic practice located in downtown Philadelphia, with an additional location in Cherry Hill, NJ. The clinic is directed by Dr. Tejjy M. Thomas, a dual Ivy-league trained and certified orthodontic specialist. Dr. Thomas earned his Doctorate in Dental Medicine from the University of Pennsylvania and later completed his post-doctoral training in Orthodontics & Dentofacial Orthopedics there as well. He is also a faculty member at the University of Pennsylvania, where he teaches in the residency program. The practice's philosophy centers on creating a balance between facial structures, airways, the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), and the teeth, rather than just focusing on aligning teeth. They provide customized, comprehensive treatment plans for patients of all ages, from children to adults. Center City Orthodontics utilizes a forward-thinking approach with the latest clinical techniques and technology. Treatment options offered by the clinic include: Invisalign: Clear, removable aligners for a discreet alternative to traditional braces. self-ligating braces: A type of braces that uses a specialized clip instead of elastic ties, which can potentially reduce friction and treatment time. Traditional Braces: A tried-and-true method for correcting complex orthodontic issues, available with modern, less noticeable metal brackets. Other appliances: In addition to braces and aligners, they provide other orthodontic solutions to address specific problems like overbites, underbites, and crowding. Center City Orthodontics is known for its warm and friendly staff and its commitment to philanthropy through partnerships with organizations like "Smiles Change Lives," which provides free orthodontic treatment to children in need. Dr. Thomas's personal experience with orthodontic treatment and jaw surgery as a teenager drives his passion for helping others achieve confidence through a healthy, beautiful smile.
