Minnah & Korn Orthodontics

Orthodontist

For over 40 years, we at Minnah & Korn Orthodontics have been delivering world class orthodontic treatment to adults and children on Boston's Newbury Street. By emphasizing the musculature and employing innovations, tooth alignment is attained in harmony with jaws, joints, muscles, and function. New techniques which include "lingual braces" (behind the teeth), "invisible aligners", and muscular exercises, all facilitate tooth movement and bite correction without the embarrassment of "metal in the mouth." Our expertise allows us to work with the special TMJ issues of musicians such as violinists, flutists, and reed players. Our goal is to improve smiles and bites without impacting careers. We strive to achieve perfection in everything we do from diagnosis, through treatment and into retention. Read more

    I highly recommend Minnah and Korn Orthodontics and do so based on two generations of experience. I was a patient (as an adult) of Dr. Korn many years ago, and my daughter is now a patient of Dr. Minnah. If you are considering orthodontic treatment, either for your child or as an adult, you simply will not find a more experienced, capable and genuinely caring practice anywhere. If you have a complicated orthodontic problem or suffer from Temporal Mandibular Joint (TMJ) pain, Dr. Minnah and Dr. Korn are so exceptionally experienced and qualified that no other practice comes close to their expertise and success in treatment.

    In my case, even with braces as a teenager, I had severe TMJ pain for most of my adult life. A year prior to being recommended to Dr. Korn, I was in treatment while living outside of Massachusetts and scheduled for surgery that would have separated and repositioned sections of my jaw to resolve the malocclusion causing my TMJ problems. This apparently is a commonly accepted practice when, in fact, it turned out to be completely unnecessary in my case. When I returned to the Boston area, my dentist suggested that I have a consultation with Dr. Korn. It was the best decision that I’ve ever made with regard to my health. Dr. Korn did a thorough workup of my case, and he recommended a non-surgical treatment plan that incorporated jaw repositioning appliances that he has developed over many years of research and practice. The result was that I avoided surgery altogether. Most importantly, since the completion of my treatment many years ago, I’ve never had a relapse of TMJ pain. ...

    As an adult with a client-facing legal career, I needed a solution to straighten my teeth that would allow me to maintain a professional appearance and social life style. I did not want aligners as I had seen my colleagues having to remove trays prior to meals.

    Dr. Minnah suggested that lingual braces (bonded to the inside surface of the teeth) would be a good option for me as it provided maximum effectiveness and would allow for me to continue my professional career with clients.

    The first week of wearing the braces was uncomfortable but once my mouth was used to the braces, I noticed no difficulty in speaking or eating. It was nice to see the progress and changes in my bite and progress over the next couple of weeks. During the treatment I was able to execute all my professional duties with my clients without feeling nervous about people noticing my braces. From a personal perspective, it was also nice to go out on dates without my dates knowing I was wearing braces.

    I am thrilled with the results and I am very glad I chose to see Dr. Minnah for lingual braces. She was caring and thorough and she was able to make very custom adjustments based on my specific needs. I would recommend her without hesitation.

    I have had a great experience with Dr. Minnah. I needed to get a new retainer and do some minor work to close a small gap that formed. I found their practice through ZocDoc.

    They worked with me to find the best option that for me. I wanted the cheapest option and to not get braces again and they modified their treatment options to make sure I was getting exactly what I wanted.

    I have been going there for several months now and am finishing up treatment. Office is very comfortable, welcoming and easy to get to (5 min walk from back back stop on orange line or Copley on the green line). Everyone at the office has been nothing but helpful and kind. Dr. Minnah always asks about how I'm doing personally and is very thorough.

    They have been accommodating with my school schedule and allowed me to make smaller payments over a longer period of time.

    All in all, highly recommend!
