Services
Our mission is to treat each patient with the highest regard for human compassion and quality of care. Dr. Murphy offers a variety of orthodontic treatments to care for patients of all ages. We offer space maintainers, palatal expanders, jump appliances and other retainers. We specialize in full orthodontic treatment with metal or clear braces for children and adults.
We strive to provide affordable orthodontic care. We have in-house financing available and offer third party financing through the Orthodontists Fee Plan, for patients who choose to make monthly payments on orthodontic treatment. Employees are usually given a booklet from the Personnel Department of their employer.
Call the Hackettstown office at (908) 852-6620 or the Succasunna office at (973) 584-4900 for a convenient time to meet with you and discuss your orthodontic needs. The cost for this consultation is free - there may be a charge for an panorex x-ray if you do not have a recent one taken. Upon calling for an appointment, you will be asked for basic information that will be entered into our computer. If you have insurance coverage, call the 800 number on your card to find out the details of your benefits.
At first, having orthodontic treatment may take a little getting used to. It isn't uncommon to experience a bit of soreness when appliances are first put on, or some minor aches as teeth begin moving into new positions. Yet it's comforting to know that genuine orthodontic emergencies are rare. If you think you may have an emergency, however, the first step is to determine the severity of the problem: Is it an urgent situation that requires immediate attention, or a minor problem that you can take care of yourself, temporarily, until you can come in to our office?

My parents sent my brother & I to Dr. Murphy years ago. We still laugh about his quirky but rude comments he'd make to us.insinuating my brother was a poor student due to his lack of follow through with his braces.routinely telling me I COULD be pretty, IF I had a nice smile (I'm beautiful with my smile, which has reverted back to its original state through my lack of retainer usage).
Just weird, rude and inappropriate. But effective, I guess, hence the two stars. Parents - your children will have a beautiful smile (they already do, too!) but just beware he might insult your child on multiple occasions. Can only hope he's changed in the years since I've seen him.

I sent my daughter ( age 10 ) to Dr. Murphy. I was very concerned about her overbite and wanted to go to a orthodontic specialist that would correct it without changing her pretty profile. Dr. Murphy was recommended to me and I am so thankful for it. He did a wonderful job on her teeth! My daughter always had a nice experience at her appointments. And the staff were lovely! Highly recommend.

Wow! Orthodontic Specialists is a wonderful place to get your teeth fixed. Dr. Murphy did a great job on my smile. Now I feel confident and beautiful showing off my teeth! Two short years of quick visits and voila! The office has a wide spectrum of patients in age, so as an adult patient I did not feel out of place. Thank you so much Dr. Murphy! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

As an adult patient, I was a little hesitant to go to the orthodontist for an evaluation of my teeth since I thought I'd be judged. Once I decided to go, I'm so upset with myself that I didn't see Dr. Murphy sooner! He has lots of adult patients! He was very knowledgeable and explained everything to me before it was done. He didn't force me into treatment, but explained to me the importance of getting my bite corrected.
All his staff are really nice, friendly, and accommodating! I can't stop smiling now that my teeth are fixed, and it was definitely the right decision to choose him as my doctor. I tell all my family and friends about him. Go to Dr. Murphy for all your orthodontic needs and concerns!

As an adult getting braces it was a hard decision to make, that is why I am glad I went to Dr. Murphy's office. He did a super job straightening my teeth which changed my smile & gave me more self confidence. He took interest in me personally & my experience was a good one. The staff there is easy to work with. I would recommend him to anyone interested in changing your smile at any age.
