If you live in Old Bridge and you're looking for a board-certified orthodontist who offers Invisalign, Spark, InBrace lingual braces, and LightForce 3D-printed custom braces in addition to traditional metal braces, MHR Orthodontics in Shrewsbury is approximately 30 minutes south via the Garden State Parkway. Old Bridge is in Middlesex County and the practice is in Monmouth County, so this is a longer drive than most of MHR's patient base typically travels.
That said, Old Bridge patients who specifically value specialty residency-trained care and the full range of modern aligner and lingual options regularly make the trip. First consultations are complimentary, so the most useful next step is to book one and decide whether the drive is worth it for your particular treatment needs.
When Old Bridge Patients Drive to Shrewsbury
Most Old Bridge patients have closer orthodontic options. The patients who choose MHR despite the drive typically fall into a few categories: families who want a board-certified specialist for complex cases, adults considering InBrace lingual braces (which not all practices in the area offer), patients transferring care from a Monmouth County practice during a relocation, and patients who searched for specific aligner brands like Spark or LightForce and found MHR through that search.
If your case is straightforward and you're not specifically seeking out one of the specialty options, an Old Bridge-area practice is likely a better fit. If you're unsure how complex your case is, a complimentary consultation can answer that question quickly.
Why Old Bridge Patients Choose MHR Orthodontics
A Board-Certified Specialist with Roots in Monmouth County
Any licensed dentist in New Jersey can place braces or sell Invisalign. A board-certified orthodontist completed two to three years of full-time post-doctoral residency in nothing but tooth movement, jaw growth, and bite mechanics, then passed the American Board of Orthodontics certification examination. The training is much deeper, and the certification is voluntary.
Dr. Rabinovich earned his Doctor of Dental Medicine from Rutgers School of Dental Medicine, then completed advanced specialty training in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics at the University of Colorado, where he also earned a Master of Science in Dentistry. During residency he treated cleft lip and palate patients along with craniofacial anomaly patients in affiliation with Children's Hospital Colorado. He grew up in Marlboro, Monmouth County, and is an active member of the American Dental Association, the New Jersey Dental Association, the Monmouth Ocean County Dental Society, and the American Association of Orthodontists.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the drive from Old Bridge to MHR Orthodontics?
Approximately 30 minutes south via the Garden State Parkway to Exit 109, then a short jog east to White Road in Shrewsbury. Old Bridge is in Middlesex County and MHR Orthodontics is in Monmouth County, so this is a longer drive than most of the practice's patient base typically makes.
Old Bridge has closer orthodontic options. Why would I drive 30 minutes?
For straightforward cases, an Old Bridge-area practice is often the right choice. The patients who travel to MHR despite the longer drive typically want one of three things: a board-certified specialist for a complex case, a specific aligner brand like Spark or LightForce that's not available at every practice, or InBrace lingual braces, which are placed behind the teeth and are invisible from the front. The complimentary consultation is the right way to find out which category your case falls into. Dr. Rabinovich will tell you directly if a closer practice would serve you equally well.
I'm transferring orthodontic treatment from another practice. Can MHR continue my care?
In most cases, yes. The practice regularly takes on transfer patients from other orthodontists. Bring your existing records (X-rays, treatment plan, current treatment phase) to a complimentary consultation and Dr. Rabinovich will review whether continuation is straightforward or whether the case needs to be reassessed.
How long does orthodontic treatment usually take?
Most full treatments run between 12 and 24 months. Phase 1 (early) treatment in younger children is typically shorter, around 9 to 12 months.
Does my dental insurance cover Invisalign?
Many dental plans include orthodontic coverage that applies equally to braces and Invisalign. Coverage amounts vary widely. The MHR team will verify your specific benefits before your consultation.
