Orthodontic Services Available to Westborough Patients
Cochituate Smile Center provides several orthodontic options for local residents, including Invisalign clear aligners, Spark Aligners, children's early intervention aligners, and adult aligner systems. Each treatment plan starts with a thorough evaluation of your bite, alignment, and oral health so we can recommend the most effective approach for your specific situation. Here's a closer look at what we offer through our orthodontic services.
Invisalign® Clear Aligners
Invisalign remains one of the most popular choices for patients seeking discreet orthodontic treatment. These custom-made, virtually invisible aligners gently guide your teeth into their ideal positions without the look of traditional metal brackets. You can remove them for eating, brushing, and special occasions, which makes daily life a lot easier during treatment.
Spark™ Clear Aligners
Maybe you've heard of Invisalign but not Spark. Spark aligners offer an alternative with an ultra-transparent finish. Their TruGEN™ material provides enhanced clarity and stain resistance compared to standard aligner plastics, making them a strong pick for patients who want aligners that stay clear throughout treatment. Many of our patients appreciate the polished edges, too, which tend to feel smoother against the lips and cheeks.
Kids' Aligners and Early Intervention
No referral needed. Children benefit from orthodontic evaluation at a young age, and our kids' aligner options address developing bite issues before they become more complex. Think of it this way: by creating space for erupting permanent teeth and guiding proper jaw development while your child is still growing, we can often reduce the need for more involved treatment later on.
Adult Aligners
Juggling a career, family commitments, and orthodontic appointments isn't easy. Adults from across the MetroWest area appreciate aligners that work around their lifestyle. No brackets or wires means less irritation to cheeks and gums, and fewer visits to our practice compared to traditional orthodontic treatment. We see patients of all ages, and plenty of adults tell us they wish they'd started sooner.
Thorough Orthodontic Evaluations
No surprises. Every treatment plan begins with a detailed evaluation where we assess your bite, tooth alignment, and overall oral health. From there, we recommend the approach that makes the most sense for you. This initial consult gives you a clear picture of your timeline, options, and expected results before any treatment begins.
What Sets Cochituate Smile Center Apart for Westborough Families
Here's what keeps patients coming back and referring their neighbors.
Experienced Providers with Academic Credentials
Dr. Hugo Campos and Dr. Miriam Belussi-Campos serve as professors at tufts university school of dental medicine. This academic connection means you benefit from providers who stay current with the latest orthodontic techniques and research. That matters when it comes to your smile.
Treatment Tailored to Every Age

Dentistry and Orthodontics Under One Roof
You don't need to visit separate practices for preventive care, restorative dentistry, and cosmetic services. Everything is available at the same convenient location, which means your overall oral health stays coordinated throughout your orthodontic treatment. Fewer appointments at fewer places. Simple.
Stress-Free Dentistry
Your comfort and smile are our top priorities. The team takes time to explain every step of your treatment, answer your questions thoroughly, and make sure you feel confident about your care.

Frequently Asked Questions About Orthodontic Care in Westborough
What orthodontic options are available near Westborough, MA?
Cochituate Smile Center in Framingham offers four aligner-based orthodontic options for patients near Westborough, MA: Invisalign clear aligners, Spark Aligners, specialized children's aligners, and adult aligner systems. During your consult, we'll recommend the approach that best matches your needs and lifestyle.
How long does Invisalign treatment typically take?
Most Invisalign cases take between 12 and 18 months. Minor cases may finish sooner, while more involved corrections could extend the timeline. We'll provide a personalized estimate during your evaluation.
At what age should my child first see an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. At that stage, enough permanent teeth have typically emerged to identify potential issues. Early evaluation doesn't always mean early treatment, but it lets us monitor development and step in at the right time if needed.
What is the difference between Invisalign and Spark Aligners?
Both systems use clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth. Spark Aligners feature TruGEN material, which offers superior clarity and enhanced stain resistance. Some patients find Spark more comfortable due to polished edges. We can help you figure out which system fits your priorities during your consult. See the comparison table below for a side-by-side breakdown.
Does Cochituate Smile Center accept dental insurance for orthodontics?
Yes, Cochituate Smile Center accepts many dental insurance plans for orthodontic treatment. Our team will verify your coverage and explain your benefits before treatment begins. For patients without orthodontic insurance coverage, we offer financing options to make care more affordable. We also have a membership plan for non-insured patients.
