Dr. Martin Rabinovich is a board-certified orthodontist who treats children, teens, and adults from across Monmouth County. The practice is orthodontics only.

Specialty Orthodontic Care, 15 Minutes from Holmdel

Holmdel sits roughly 15 to 20 minutes north of Shrewsbury via the Garden State Parkway. Most patients coming from Holmdel take Exit 109 south, then a short jog to White Road. Patients coming from the Bell Works area or near Holmdel Park can also reach Shrewsbury via Route 35 South in about the same time. The drive is short enough that a school-day appointment fits comfortably between drop-off and pickup. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM, with Saturday appointments available by request for families who prefer to avoid the weekday shuffle entirely.

Why Holmdel Families Trust MHR Orthodontics

A Board-Certified Specialist with Roots in Marlboro

Any licensed dentist in New Jersey can place braces or sell Invisalign. A board-certified orthodontist completed two to three years of full-time residency in nothing but tooth movement, jaw growth, and bite mechanics. For a treatment that lasts a year or two and shapes your child's face for life, that distinction matters.

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, and he served on the American Association of Orthodontists Council on New and Younger Members representing the Rocky Mountain Society of Orthodontists.

He grew up in Marlboro, just a short drive west of Holmdel, and he came home to practice. Holmdel families who walk into the Shrewsbury office today are people from the towns he has known his whole life. He is also an active member of the American Dental Association, the New Jersey Dental Association, and the Monmouth Ocean County Dental Society.

Treatment Options for Children, Teens, and Adults

Every patient is different. At your complimentary consultation, Dr. Rabinovich walks you through which options will work for your case and why.

  • Traditional metal braces for predictable correction of complex cases. Today's brackets are smaller, smoother, and more comfortable than they were a generation ago.
  • LightForce 3D-printed custom braces with each bracket printed for the exact tooth it sits on, often shortening treatment time.
  • InBrace lingual braces placed behind the teeth so they're invisible from the front.
  • Invisalign clear aligners for discreet, removable straightening.
  • Spark clear aligners with stain-resistant material and a smoother gumline trim.
  • Phase 1 (early interceptive) treatment for children whose jaw growth needs guidance.
  • Adult orthodontics, with discreet aligner and lingual options that fit a professional life.

What Your First Visit Looks Like

Your first visit takes about 60 minutes and costs nothing.

  1. A short medical and dental history review at check-in.
  2. Low-dose digital X-rays and an iTero digital scan. No goopy impressions, no plaster trays.
  3. Direct examination by Dr. Rabinovich. He sees every new patient personally.
  4. A clear conversation about your treatment options, the cost of each, and roughly how long treatment will take.
  5. A written treatment plan to take home and a clear next step. No high-pressure pitch, no same-day decision required.

If you decide to move forward, the next visit is your bonding appointment for braces or your first set of trays for aligners. If you decide to think about it, that's fine too. The treatment plan stays valid as long as your case doesn't change significantly.

Insurance, Membership Plan, and Financing

MHR Orthodontics is in-network with most major dental and orthodontic insurance plans. The team verifies your benefits before your consultation and files claims for you, so you don't have to chase paperwork.

If you don't have orthodontic coverage, the in-house Membership Discount Plan provides a flat reduction on the total fee for uninsured patients. For longer treatment plans, no-interest in-house financing is available with monthly payments that fit your budget. You will know your full out-of-pocket cost before treatment begins.

Frequently Asked Questions from Holmdel Families

How long is the drive from Holmdel to MHR Orthodontics?

About 15 to 20 minutes via the Garden State Parkway South to Exit 109, or via Route 35 South. Free parking is available right outside the suite.

Do you treat patients from Holmdel Township Public Schools?

Yes. Holmdel is one of MHR's strongest patient bases. Many of our patient families come from the Holmdel public school system. Phase 1 evaluations for children around age 7 are common, as is full treatment for middle-school and high-school students.

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. Dr. Rabinovich gives you a specific time estimate at your complimentary consultation based on your case.

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.

What is the difference between Invisalign and Spark?

Both are clear aligner systems. Spark uses a different plastic chemistry that resists staining better than older clear materials and has a smoother trim along the gumline. Dr. Rabinovich will recommend whichever system fits your case best.
