MHR Orthodontics is a specialty orthodontics practice in Shrewsbury, serving patients from across Monmouth County. Dr. Martin Rabinovich is board-certified, treats children, teens, and adults, and was born and raised right here in the county. The practice limits care to orthodontics only, which means every consultation, treatment plan, and adjustment is handled by a specialist who completed a full residency in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics.
First consultations are complimentary, and patients who choose Invisalign currently receive complimentary professional teeth whitening at the end of treatment.
A Board-Certified Orthodontist Who Calls Monmouth County Home
Dr. Rabinovich grew up in Marlboro. He went to Rutgers University in New Brunswick for his undergraduate degree in Biological Sciences, then earned his Doctor of Dental Medicine from Rutgers School of Dental Medicine. After dental school he spent three years in Denver completing advanced specialty training in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics at the University of Colorado, where he also earned a Master of Science in Dentistry. During his 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.
Then he came home. The patients walking into the Shrewsbury office today are people from the same towns he has known his whole life. He sees patients from Marlboro, from Holmdel, from Colts Neck, from along the shore. He is an active member of the American Dental Association, the New Jersey Dental Association, and the Monmouth Ocean County Dental Society.
That local connection is part of what makes MHR feel different. The doctor in your treatment room isn't a corporate transplant rotating between offices. He's a Monmouth County kid who grew up to specialize in straightening teeth and came back to do it where he grew up.

Why Families Across Monmouth County Choose MHR
Specialist Training, Not General Dentistry with Braces
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. For a treatment that lasts a year or two and shapes your child's face for life, that specialty training matters.
Saturday Appointments and Flexible Scheduling
Saturday appointments are available by request for families whose weekday schedules are full of school, work, sports, and the rest of Monmouth County life. Appointments are kept short and on time. Treatment plans are written so that as much as possible, follow-up visits can be batched with school holidays or off-days.
Insurance, Membership Plan, and Financing
MHR is in-network with most major dental and orthodontic insurance plans. Benefits are verified before consultation, and claims are filed for you. For uninsured families, the in-house Membership Discount Plan provides a flat reduction on the total fee. For longer treatment plans, no-interest in-house financing is available with monthly payments designed around your budget. You will know your full out-of-pocket cost before treatment starts.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is MHR Orthodontics from my town in Monmouth County?
Most of Monmouth County reaches Shrewsbury within 25 minutes. The drive-time list above gives ballpark figures. For a precise estimate, call (732) 704-5474 and the front desk will help.
Do you accept patients from outside Monmouth County?
Yes. The practice serves patients from neighboring counties as well, particularly western Monmouth bordering Middlesex County. If you can get to Shrewsbury, MHR can treat you.
What is the difference between a board-certified orthodontist and a regular dentist who offers braces?
A general dentist completes four years of dental school. A board-certified orthodontist completes those four years plus an additional two to three years of full-time residency in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, then passes the American Board of Orthodontics certification examination. The training is much deeper, and the ABO certification is voluntary, which means board-certified orthodontists are choosing to hold themselves to a higher standard.
What insurance does MHR accept?
MHR is in-network with most major dental and orthodontic insurance plans. Call ahead with your insurance card and the team will verify your specific coverage and out-of-pocket cost before your consultation.
Do you offer Saturday appointments?
Yes. Saturday appointments are available by request for families whose weekday calendars are full. Office hours during the week are Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM.
