Thrive Orthodontics has been crafting confident smiles for more than 20 years. The practice blends world-class expertise with a personal touch to provide patients with confident, healthy smiles.
Providing Precise, Predictable Results
Dr. Daniel Akkaway, a NJ’s Favorite Kids’ Doc for the past 12 years, and Dr. Christopher Sohn bring not only Ivy League training but also years of experience and dedication to every patient who walks through their doors. They personally oversee every treatment plan, ensuring that each patient’s journey is efficient, personalized and successful.
A Diamond Plus Invisalign provider, Dr. Akkaway has transformed more than 4,000 smiles. The practice offers a full spectrum of orthodontic treatments, from traditional braces and palate expanders to Invisalign, and cutting-edge technology is an integral part of the treatment process. The use of digital impression scanners allows for more accurate treatment planning and comfortable patient experiences as well as a simulation of final outcomes before treatment even begins.
“Whether you’re a parent seeking care for your child or an adult looking to improve your smile, our team is equipped with the skills and tools to meet every need,” Dr. Akkaway says.
Helping Children Thrive
The practice fosters a warm, family-friendly atmosphere where parents are actively involved throughout the treatment process. At Thrive, orthodontic care is more than just straightening teeth—it’s about building relationships and creating lasting memories. The practice hosts contests and patient appreciation events throughout the year to add a layer of fun and community involvement to the treatment experience. “I’ve worked extremely hard over the past two decades to learn my craft, and there is nothing more fulfilling than using those skills to give a child the confidence and healthy smile that will help them thrive,” he says.
