Your Braintree Orthodontist
Dr. Michael DiMarzio grew up in Nashua, New Hampshire. He graduated with honors from Boston College, earning a degree in biochemistry, and attended the University of Connecticut Dental School for his dental education. He completed a two-year specialty program in orthodontics at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine.
In 2008, Dr. DiMarzio started working with Dr. Skoler, who initially founded the practice in the early 1980s. Dr. DiMarzio helped move the practice to its current location and helped to transform the practice to what it is today.
Dr. Skoler retired in 2020 and Dr. DiMarzio continues to provide the same excellent service. Dr. DiMarzio currently lives in Milton with his wife and two daughters. Dr. DiMarzio loves the South Shore community and has enjoyed the families he has met while working at DiMarzio Orthodontics.
Dr. Alana Marczak was raised in Connecticut and attended the University of Connecticut for her undergraduate degree, Dental School, and Orthodontic Residency. After so many years in Connecticut, she is looking forward to her move to Boston.
While not working, Dr. Marczak enjoys being active and loves hiking, running, spinning, boxing, and most types of group fitness classes. She is also conversationally fluent in Polish, where her entire family is from.
Dr. Marczak is a member of the American Association of Orthodontists and the American Dental Association. She had also dedicated time throughout her education to research. Dr. Marczak has two publications in scientific journals and received the Quintessence Award for Academic Achievement in Research and the UConn Research Day Dean’s Award during her years in dental school.
Braintree Orthodontist Care at DiMarzio Orthodontics
What Is Orthodontic Treatment & Why Choose Braintree Orthodontics?
Orthodontics is a dental specialty focused on diagnosing, preventing and correcting misaligned teeth and jaws. Using braces, Invisalign and other appliances, orthodontic treatment creates straighter, healthier smiles that improve both function and appearance for patients of every age.
Crooked teeth, crowded smiles and bite problems affect more than just your appearance. They can make brushing and flossing harder, lead to jaw discomfort and chip away at your confidence over time.
DiMarzio Orthodontics gives Braintree patients orthodontic care designed around their unique needs, delivering straighter, healthier smiles that last a lifetime. From Invisalign and metal braces to clear braces for you, your teen or your child, our team delivers the finest orthodontic care on the South Shore.
Dr. Michael DiMarzio and Dr. Alana Marczak bring decades of combined experience to every treatment. Patients of all ages walk through our doors, from children getting their first orthodontic evaluation to adults finally achieving the smile they've always wanted. Our Quincy office is a short drive from Braintree, with convenient access and flexible scheduling that fits your busy life.
Your smile is in good hands here. Treatment options include metal braces, clear braces, Invisalign clear aligners and surgical orthodontics for complex cases. Every treatment starts with a free consult where we get to know you, understand your smile goals and create a plan that works for your lifestyle and budget.
Benefits of Choosing DiMarzio Orthodontics for Braintree Families
Straightening your teeth does more than improve your appearance for Braintree patients.
Better Oral Health
Crooked or crowded teeth create tight spaces where food particles and bacteria hide. Straight teeth are easier to brush and floss, which lowers your risk of cavities and gum disease.
Lasting Confidence
Your smile is often the first thing people notice. Many patients tell us they smile more freely in photos, at work and with friends once treatment is done.
Relief from Bite Problems
Misaligned bites can cause jaw discomfort, headaches and uneven wear on your teeth. Correcting your bite takes that strain off and protects your teeth for the long run.
Treatment Options for Every Lifestyle
Not everyone wants the same approach to straightening their smile.
- Metal braces for tried and true beautiful results
- Clear braces that blend with your natural tooth color
- Invisalign aligners for discreet, removable treatment
Care Built Around You
Digital X-rays and the latest 3D imaging allow precise treatment planning. Your plan is built around your teeth, your goals and your schedule.
Our Orthodontic Treatment Process: From Free Consultation to Final Smile
Starting orthodontic treatment is simpler than you might think.
Step 1: Your First Free Consultation Visit
Everything begins with a complimentary consult. Dr. DiMarzio or Dr. Marczak will examine your teeth, take digital X-rays and photos, then talk through your options with you.
Step 2: Your Custom Treatment Plan
Based on your evaluation, you'll receive a treatment plan with your recommended option, an estimated timeline and a full cost breakdown, so you know exactly what to expect.
Step 3: Getting Started
Once you're ready, your appliance placement visit gets scheduled. Braces placement usually takes 60 to 90 minutes, and Invisalign patients leave with their first set of aligners.
Step 4: Progress Visits
Throughout your treatment, regular visits keep everything on track. Most patients come in every four to eight weeks for quick check-ins.
Step 5: Your Forever Smile
Retainers help maintain your results for life. Most patients wear them full-time at first, then switch to nighttime wear.
Who Is a Candidate for Orthodontic Treatment?
Almost anyone with misaligned teeth is a candidate for orthodontic treatment.
Children
Early evaluation helps identify issues while growth is still occurring. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic check-up by age 7.
Teens
Teens benefit from metal braces or Invisalign. The teen years are the most common time for treatment because the jaw is still growing.
Adults
Adults choose discreet options like clear aligners and clear braces. Teeth can move at any age, so it's never too late for a straighter smile.
Special Needs Patients
We provide compassionate care for all patients. Our team takes the time to make each visit comfortable and is happy to talk through any accommodations your family needs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Orthodontics in Braintree
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
Most patients complete treatment in 12 to 24 months. Simpler cases can finish sooner, while more complex corrections may take longer. You'll get a realistic timeline at your consultation.
How much do braces or Invisalign cost in Braintree?
Cost depends on the type of treatment, how complex your case is and how long treatment takes. Schedule a free consultation for a detailed cost breakdown. We also work with most insurance plans and offer financing.
Does DiMarzio Orthodontics offer emergency orthodontic care?
Yes. If a bracket breaks, a wire pokes or an aligner cracks, contact our office and we'll help you get it handled. You can learn more on our emergency orthodontics page.
What is the difference between metal braces, clear braces and Invisalign?
Metal braces are a tried and true method. Clear braces work the same way but use tooth-colored brackets that blend in, and Invisalign uses removable clear aligners you switch out every one to two weeks.
Can I get a virtual consult before visiting the office?
Yes. Our virtual smile assessment lets you find out if you're a candidate for treatment before you come in.
