Boston Orthodontics - Dr. Patricia L. Brown, DMD

Boston Orthodontics — Dr. Patricia L. Brown, DMD is an orthodontic specialist practice located at 396 Commonwealth Avenue in Boston, Massachusetts. Commonwealth Avenue is one of Boston’s most recognisable tree-lined boulevards, running through Back Bay, and the practice is accessible via the MBTA Green Line at multiple stops along the avenue.

The practice specialises exclusively in orthodontics, providing diagnosis and treatment for patients with misaligned teeth and bite irregularities. Orthodontic care at a specialist practice begins with a comprehensive evaluation of tooth position, jaw alignment, and bite function, from which a detailed treatment plan is developed specific to each patient.

Treatment options in orthodontics include traditional braces as well as, where clinically appropriate, clear aligner systems. The orthodontist develops the treatment sequence and monitors the progressive movement of teeth over the full course of treatment, with regular follow-up appointments to assess progress and make adjustments as needed. The length of treatment varies based on the complexity of the individual case.

Patients of different ages seek orthodontic treatment for different reasons. Adolescent patients often begin treatment to address alignment issues as the permanent dentition establishes itself. Adult patients may seek treatment for cosmetic improvement, to address long-standing bite problems, or in preparation for other restorative dental work. A specialist orthodontic practice is equipped to manage these varied presentations.

Commonwealth Avenue at the Back Bay—Fenway boundary is accessible to patients across Boston. The Green Line B, C, and D branches all serve stations along or near Commonwealth Avenue, and the practice is reachable from Back Bay, Kenmore, Fenway, Allston, Brighton, and Brookline. Patients from the broader Greater Boston area can also access the practice via the MBTA.
