Whether you need a new orthodontist, want to continue braces or Invisalign, or have TMJ and bite concerns, we make it easy to get a custom treatment plan and clear next steps. Our team is here to help you settle into orthodontic care quickly so your treatment stays on track and your smile stays healthy. Welcome to Albuquerque—we can’t wait to work with you and your family!
Moving to a new city or looking for a better fit for orthodontic care can feel stressful, but getting started at Harnick Orthodontics is simple. If you are new to Albuquerque and need a trusted orthodontist, we can begin with a complete evaluation of your bite, tooth alignment, and smile goals. This helps us understand your needs and recommend the most appropriate treatment options, whether that means braces, clear aligners, or continued monitoring. Our goal is to help you feel comfortable and confident with your orthodontic plan from your very first visit!
Request a Complimentary Consultation
If you started orthodontic treatment somewhere else, you don’t necessarily have to make trips back to your previous orthodontist. We regularly help patients transfer braces or Invisalign treatment after a move or provider change. During your visit, we will review your treatment history, current progress, and remaining steps needed to reach your smile goals. We can also coordinate with your previous orthodontist when needed to make the transition smooth. Our focus is keeping your treatment progress on track so you can finish your orthodontic care comfortably and efficiently.
Jaw discomfort, clicking sounds when opening or closing your mouth, headaches, or a bite that feels uneven may sometimes be linked to alignment or jaw function issues. We provide evaluations for patients experiencing symptoms associated with temporomandibular joint concerns, often called TMJ problems. During your consultation, we can examine how your teeth come together and how your jaw moves to determine whether orthodontic treatment may help improve comfort and function. Treatment recommendations may include orthodontic correction, bite adjustment planning, or coordination with other dental providers if needed.
A Special Announcement!
Our orthodontic family is growing! Dr. Kari is excited to welcome a new baby this September and will be taking maternity leave through October.
During this time, treatment will continue as planned under the care of Dr. Harnick, who founded the practice and has helped create the exceptional patient experience you know and trust. Your orthodontic progress will remain on schedule, and our team will be here to support you every step of the way.
Dr. Kari will return in November and can't wait to catch up with everyone and see all the great progress that's been made!
