Orthodontic Care for Every Age
We believe everyone deserves a beautiful smile, and that means kids, teens, and adults all feel right at home in our Hopkinton office.
Children. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. Dr. Blake and Dr. Peluso gently check bite development, jaw growth, and spacing to catch small concerns before they grow. Many kids don't need treatment right away, and we'll happily continue monitoring until the timing is right.
Teens. Middle school and high school are busy years. We offer clear aligners, clear braces, and metal braces with flexible scheduling around sports, band, and school events. We text appointment reminders and keep visits short so treatment fits around school.
Adults. It's never too late to get the smile you want. Stop hiding and let Dr. Blake and Dr. Peluso design a discreet plan using clear aligners or clear braces that fits your professional and social life.
Families love that siblings and parents can be seen together, saving time and simplifying carpools.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hopkinton Orthodontics
How much do braces cost in Hopkinton?
Cost depends on your specific case, the treatment type, and how complex your bite correction is. The most accurate way to find out is a free consult with Dr. Blake or Dr. Peluso, where you'll get a personalized recommendation for your smile.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
Most patients complete treatment in 12 to 24 months. Simple cases can wrap up sooner, while more involved bite corrections may take a little longer. Dr. Blake and Dr. Peluso will give you a personalized timeline at your first visit.
Do braces make teeth 100% straight?
Modern orthodontics can produce very straight, healthy smiles. Wearing your retainer as directed after treatment is key to keeping those results looking their best for life.
Does insurance cover orthodontic treatment?
Many dental plans include orthodontic benefits for children, and some cover adults as well. Our team will verify your coverage and walk you through your options before treatment begins.
What's the difference between an orthodontist and a dentist?
An orthodontist is a specialist who completes additional residency training after dental school, focused entirely on tooth movement and bite correction. Dr. Blake is a board-certified orthodontist, which means advanced expertise in braces and clear aligners.
At what age should my child first see an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an evaluation by age 7. Early visits let Dr. Blake spot developing concerns and plan the right timing, even if treatment isn't needed right away.
Do you offer free consultations?
Yes. Every new patient at Elizabeth Blake Orthodontics receives a free consult, including a tour of our Hopkinton office and time with the doctor.
