Jersey City is one of the most dynamic and densely populated cities in New Jersey — home to families, young professionals, and longtime residents who all deserve access to quality orthodontic care without having to travel far. Whether you live in Downtown Jersey City, Journal Square, The Heights, or Greenville, Eisenberger and Meister Orthodontics is a straightforward trip: our Passaic office is approximately 30–40 minutes via the NJ Turnpike or Route 1/9, and patients from Hudson County make that drive regularly for a level of specialty care that simply is not available at every local office.
Eisenberger and Meister Orthodontics welcomes Jersey City patients to our Passaic office, where our team brings a combined 38 years of experience to every case. We take an individualized approach to orthodontic care, building treatment plans that reflect the unique needs, goals, and schedules of each patient we see. Whether you are an adult who has been thinking about treatment for years or a parent looking for the right fit for your child, our full range of orthodontic services is designed to meet you where you are.
Most patients come to us focused on aesthetics — and that is completely understandable. A straighter smile changes the way you look and the way you feel about yourself. But the health case for orthodontic treatment is equally compelling, and it is something we discuss with every patient from the very first consultation.
Research published through the National Institutes of Health examined orthodontic treatment in periodontally compromised patients and found that properly aligned teeth support healthier periodontal conditions, including reduced probing depths and improved bone levels, when treatment is carefully planned and timed. In other words, straightening your teeth does not just improve how they look — when done right, it can actively support the health of the gums and bone that hold your teeth in place. This is the level of thinking our team applies to every treatment plan we develop.
Dr. Matthew Meister graduated with Dean's List honors from New York University College of Arts and Science and earned his dental degree from NYU College of Dentistry, recognized as one of the top dental schools in the country. During his program, he was awarded the prestigious Hyman J. Schorr Award for outstanding achievement. He then completed a one-year General Practice Residency at SBH Health Systems in the Bronx before returning to NYU for advanced specialization in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, where his research earned recognition at both the national and international level. Behind every treatment plan at our practice is that depth of preparation and a genuine commitment to the people we serve.
Our office is welcoming, our team is attentive, and our goal is always the same: to help each patient achieve a healthy, well-aligned smile that serves them for a lifetime. To get to know our practice and our team, visit our who we are page, and when you are ready to take the next step, we invite you to contact our office to schedule your consultation.
For Jersey City and Hudson County patients, the drive to our Passaic office is a straightforward one — and for many of our patients, it is a decision rooted in the difference between general dental care and board-certified orthodontic specialty care. Dr. Matthew Meister completed a full specialty residency in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics at NYU College of Dentistry, training that goes significantly beyond what is required to offer orthodontic services at a general dental practice. That distinction matters in both diagnosis and outcomes, particularly for complex cases involving bite correction, jaw development, or cases where airway function is part of the clinical picture.
