Orthodontic Care in Beverly, MA
If you are looking for orthodontic care in Beverly, MA, whether for yourself as an adult or for your child, Kuljic DDS & Team plans and provides treatment that straightens teeth and corrects how they fit together.
We work with braces, clear aligners, and growth-guiding appliances, and we choose the approach around your bite and your goals, not around one method we favor.
What sets our orthodontic work apart is what surrounds it. When straightening reveals a worn or damaged tooth, or when your bite needs restorative work to hold the result, it happens here, with the same team, instead of sending you back and forth between offices.
Orthodontics and the Teeth Around It
Most orthodontic offices do one thing: they move teeth. When the straightening is done and a tooth turns out to be worn, cracked, or in need of a crown, they send you back to your family dentist to sort it out. Two offices, two sets of records, two schedules to coordinate, and a gap where things fall through.
Here, straightening is part of a bigger picture, not a service that ends at the last appointment. If aligning your teeth uncovers a tooth that needs restoring, or if your bite needs building back up so the result holds, we do that work in the same place, with the same team that planned your orthodontics. Your alignment, your bite, and any restorative work stay in one record and one conversation.
That matters most for adults. Adult teeth often carry old fillings, crowns, worn edges, and years of shifting, so moving them cleanly takes a plan that accounts for all of it at once. Straightening a tooth that needs a crown, without planning the crown, wastes both. We look at the whole mouth before we move anything.
Adult Orthodontics
Straightening teeth is no longer something you do only as a teenager. Adults come to us to close gaps, fix crowding that has worsened over the years, or finally correct a bite they were told to live with. Modern options make it discreet enough that most people around you will not notice you are in treatment.
We work with two main approaches for adults, and we help you choose between them based on your teeth, your bite, and how much the look of treatment matters to you.
Braces
Fixed braces give us the most control, which matters for complex movements and bites that need real correcting.
For adults who want them less visible, tooth-colored ceramic brackets are far more discreet than the metal most people picture.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are removable and nearly invisible, which makes them popular with adults who want to straighten teeth without changing how they look day to day.
They work well for many cases, though not every one, and we tell you honestly if your bite needs the control that braces give.
Functional Orthodontics
Not all orthodontics is about straightening teeth for looks. Functional orthodontics treats the reasons teeth end up crowded or misaligned in the first place: how the jaws grow, how the tongue rests, how a person breathes. Correct those, especially early in a child, and teeth often have room to come in straight on their own.
This is where our practice goes further than most. Guiding jaw growth, widening a narrow palate, and addressing airway and bite problems are the core of how we think about the whole face, not just the front teeth. It connects directly to our work in airway and sleep.

Orthodontic Care FAQs
Yes, and adults make up a large share of the people we treat. Teeth can be moved at almost any age, and correcting crowding or a bad bite as an adult protects the teeth you have from uneven wear, and makes future dental work fit better. The main difference from treating a teenager is that adult teeth often carry old fillings and crowns, so the plan has to account for those, which is where doing it all under one roof helps.
Not the way they used to be. Ceramic braces blend close to your natural tooth color, and clear aligners are nearly invisible up close. Most adults in treatment find that people around them do not notice unless they mention it.
It depends on how far teeth need to move and which approach you use. Minor corrections can take a few months. A full case with braces or aligners usually runs somewhere between a year and two. Functional treatment in a growing child follows the child's growth, so its timeline is different again. We give you a realistic estimate at your consultation, not a number that sounds good.
Yes. For children, the most valuable orthodontic work often happens early, while the jaw is still growing and we can guide how it develops rather than correcting problems later. This is the heart of our functional orthodontics, and it is worth an evaluation well before all the adult teeth are in.
Whether you are an adult finally straightening your teeth or a parent wondering if your child should be seen early, the first step is the same: a conversation about what your smile needs and how we would get there.
