Livingston is a community known for high standards — in its schools, its neighborhoods, and the professionals its residents choose to trust. When it comes to orthodontic care for your family, that same standard applies. The right provider brings more than a good reputation; they bring the kind of thorough, individualized attention that makes every treatment decision count.

With a combined 35 years of experience, our team is committed to delivering care that is as thoughtful as it is effective. Whether you are exploring options for a young child, a teenager, or yourself as an adult, our Livingston orthodontic services are designed to meet your needs at every stage of life.
The conversation around orthodontic care has evolved significantly in recent years. While a straighter smile remains an important goal, leading practitioners and researchers now recognize that how the teeth and jaws develop has meaningful implications for breathing, sleep, and long-term health — particularly in children.
A 2023 multidisciplinary review published through the National Institutes of Health examined craniofacial growth modification and its connection to sleep-disordered breathing in children, noting that orthodontists can actively guide craniofacial growth patterns to alleviate breathing concerns — but only when interventions are timed appropriately within a child's development. The review emphasizes that these growth modifications are fundamentally time-dependent, making early evaluation and well-timed treatment critical. At Eisenberger and Meister Orthodontics, this thinking is built into how we evaluate and plan care for every patient, especially children.
Dr. Matthew Meister earned his undergraduate degree with Dean's List honors from New York University College of Arts and Science and his dental degree from NYU College of Dentistry, one of the most respected dental programs in the country. He received the Hyman J. Schorr Award for outstanding achievement, completed a General Practice Residency at SBH Health Systems in the Bronx, and went on to complete advanced specialization in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics at NYU, where his research received recognition at both the national and international level. That foundation of rigorous training is reflected in every treatment plan and every patient conversation at our practice.
