At Bay State Orthodontics, our mission is to give you the smile you deserve in a welcoming and professional environment.
Dr. Ben Smith and his team team work hard to treat our patients the same way we would like to be treated: with respect, professionalism, and sensitivity toward our needs. We understand the expectations of the patients and families we serve, and we do everything we can to make sure that each patient has an exceptional experience at our practice.
By combining the latest digital technology and orthodontic treatment methods, we are able to provide you with the most effective and efficient treatments. The use of digital x-rays significantly reduces the amount of radiation exposure, thus providing greater safety.

As an Invisalign Diamond Provider, Dr. Ben Smith is recognized as one of the area’s top Invisalign providers, with extensive experience treating both teens and adults with Invisalign clear aligners. That level of experience matters because clear aligner treatment is about more than simply wearing trays. It requires careful diagnosis, precise planning, and an understanding of how to guide teeth predictably from start to finish.
At Bay State Orthodontics, Dr. Smith combines that experience with advanced Invisalign technology, including 3D digital imaging, Invisalign Oral Health Scans, Invisalign Palatal Expanders, and Viveraâ„¢ retainers, to create highly personalized treatment plans. For you and your family, choosing an Invisalign Diamond Provider means working with an orthodontist who uses Invisalign extensively, understands its capabilities across a wide range of orthodontic needs, and has the experience to make thoughtful adjustments throughout treatment to help achieve the best possible result.
Dr. Ben Smith is a board-certified orthodontist and a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics. He is thrilled to be treating and taking care of patients in Norwood, West Roxbury and the surrounding communities, delivering high-quality, patient-centered care with a high attention to detail.
Dr. Ben Smith completed his orthodontic residency at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine, where he earned both his Certificate in Orthodontics and Master of Medical Sciences (MMSc). He then went on to earn board certification from the American Board of Orthodontics, becoming a Diplomate of the ABO. Board certification is a voluntary distinction that requires orthodontists to complete additional evaluation beyond their specialty training, demonstrating a commitment to clinical excellence, continued learning and high standards of care. Fewer than half of orthodontists achieve board certification, making it an important credential for patients and families to consider when choosing a provider. For Dr. Smith, that distinction reflects the precision, thoughtful treatment planning and personalized care he brings to every patient.
