Morganville is technically a hamlet within Marlboro Township, which makes the Morganville and Marlboro pages neighbors on this site. That's not a coincidence: when an orthodontist who grew up in Marlboro Township writes about treating local families, Morganville is a town he knows from childhood. This page covers what we offer, how to get to us, and what to expect at a first visit.
Morganville and Marlboro Township: Dr. Rabinovich's Home Ground
Dr. Martin Rabinovich was born and raised in Marlboro Township, which includes the Morganville area. He grew up in the same school district that serves Morganville families today, drove the same Route 79 / Route 18 corridors, and knows the area from a lifetime of living in it. After completing his undergraduate degree at Rutgers University, his Doctor of Dental Medicine at Rutgers School of Dental Medicine, and his orthodontic and dentofacial orthopedics residency at the University of Colorado, he came back to Monmouth County to practice.
For Morganville families considering a board-certified orthodontist, that local rootedness matters. Treatment plans run 18 to 30 months on average; you want a provider who is committed to the area for the long haul, not someone passing through.
Meet Dr. Martin Rabinovich, Board Certified Orthodontist
Dr. Rabinovich earned his Master of Science in Dentistry alongside his orthodontic specialty training at the University of Colorado. His residency included extensive work with cleft lip and palate patients through Children's Hospital Colorado, building sharper-than-average judgment for jaw growth and airway issues in pediatric cases.
Board certification is a voluntary credential held by roughly one in three practicing orthodontists. The process requires submitting finished cases for peer review by the American Board of Orthodontics. Dr. Rabinovich is board certified and an active member of the American Dental Association, the American Association of Orthodontists, the New Jersey Dental Association, and the Monmouth-Ocean County Dental Society.
Braces and Aligner Options for Morganville Patients
Traditional Metal Braces
The most flexible option. Modern brackets are about half the size of older designs. Handles the widest case range including complex bite issues.
Clear Ceramic Braces
Same mechanics, tooth-colored brackets. Popular with teens at Marlboro High School and Marlboro Memorial Middle School who want a more subtle look.
LightForce 3D Printed Braces
Custom 3D printed clear brackets shaped to each tooth. Custom fit often results in fewer adjustment visits and a more precise outcome compared to off-the-shelf brackets.
InBrace Lingual Braces
Hardware placed on the tongue side of the teeth, completely invisible from the front.
Invisalign and Spark Clear Aligners
Removable transparent trays that you swap every one to two weeks. Best for mild to moderate cases. Requires roughly 22 hours of wear per day.

Did Dr. Rabinovich really grow up in Marlboro Township?

Should I have wisdom teeth removed before or after braces?
Most of the time, wisdom teeth do not need to come out before braces treatment. Modern orthodontic research has not found a strong link between wisdom teeth eruption and tooth crowding in the front (the old assumption that wisdom teeth push the front teeth together has largely been disproven). The decision to remove wisdom teeth is based on their position, whether they are causing problems (impaction, infection, damage to neighboring teeth), and whether there is enough room in the jaw for them. We will look at your wisdom teeth on the panoramic X-ray at the consultation. If they look like they will eventually need to come out, the timing of that extraction (before, during, or after braces) depends on the specific case. The treatment plan integrates with your general dentist or oral surgeon as needed.
How do I clean my retainers and aligners?
Daily care matters: any plastic appliance worn against teeth and saliva will eventually build up plaque, calculus, and odor without cleaning. The simple routine is brush them with a soft toothbrush and lukewarm water every time you brush your teeth. For deeper cleaning, soak them once a week in a denture or retainer cleaner (Polident, Retainer Brite, or similar). Avoid hot water (it can warp the plastic), avoid bleach (it makes the plastic brittle), and avoid colored mouthwashes (they stain the trays). Clear aligners should be rinsed every time you take them out to eat. Wire-and-acrylic retainers (the kind with a metal wire across the front) get the same brush-and-soak routine.
Can a child with sensory sensitivities or autism get braces?
Yes, and we treat children with sensory sensitivities regularly. The standard consultation can be adjusted in advance: longer time slots so visits do not feel rushed, lower-stimulation scheduling (we book the appointment when the office is quieter), preview visits where the child comes in just to meet the team without any clinical work, and clear step-by-step explanations before each procedure. For some kids, alternate treatment options matter too: aligners can be easier than fixed braces because there is no constant sensory input from brackets and wires, and lingual braces (placed behind the teeth) are visible only to the patient themselves. The honest caveat: not every sensory profile is a fit for orthodontic treatment, and some kids do better waiting until they are older. Mention any concerns when you call to schedule, and we will work out an approach that fits your child's needs.
