Joseph A. Cardarelli, Jr., D.M.D.

Board Certified • Invisalign Certified

Dr. Cardarelli received his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree Magna Cum Laude from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in 1981. He then continued his post-doctoral specialty residency at Tufts, which consisted of two additional years of full time training in the art and science of orthodontics, where he earned his specialty certification.

Dr. Cardarelli holds faculty positions at both Harvard University School of Dental Medicine and Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, maintaining his close affiliation, having been appointed as Assistant Clinical Professor in the Department of Orthodontics upon graduation in 1983.

Dr. Cardarelli became Board Certified as a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics in 1991, and is a member of the College of Diplomates of the American Board of Orthodontics. He is a certified specialist for Incognito, completely invisible "hidden behind the teeth" braces, as well as Invisalign and Invisalign Teen, as aesthetic alternatives to traditional braces. He continues to maintain private practice at 234 Summer Street in Haverhill, Massachusetts and is currently the attending orthodontist for the Governor's Academy, in Byfield Massachusetts.

“Choosing the right orthodontist is a key factor in establishing a good foundation in any smile enhancement process.  Many people think all braces and practitioners are basically the same. The truth is, a significant difference exists in the sophistication of a doctor’s diagnostic and technical ability, as well as the doctor’s artistic sense, to determine the best course of treatment, to exceed each and every patient’s individual needs and expectations. There is much more to straightening teeth than meets the eye.” 

Dr. Cardarelli encourages patients to review his credentials.
