Dr. Charles D. Brodsky, DDS, MSD

I grew up locally in Long Beach and graduated from Los Alamitos High School in 1996. Following high school, I attended the University of the Pacific in Stockton. I received my Bachelor’s degree in applied sciences from UOP in 1999 after only three years. Upon graduating, I moved to San Francisco, where I attended UOP Dental School and earned my Doctorate of Dental Surgery in 2002 in only three years. After six years of hard-core studying and finishing at amongst the top of my class, I was ready for a new experience.

Following dental school, I moved to Massachusetts, where I completed my residency in orthodontics at Boston University School of Dental Medicine. I received a specialty certificate in orthodontics as well as a Master of Science in Dentistry degree in 2005. Boston was a nice change of pace, but after three mostly cold years, I decided the warm weather of California was calling me home.

While training in Boston, I received extensive training and certification in Invisalign®, tissue management with lasers, as well as the placement and utilization of orthodontic mini-screw implants (TADs). The orthodontists who are trained at Boston University are taught to treat the most complicated of orthodontic malocclusions, including patients who need orthognathic jaw surgery in conjunction with orthodontics.
