Dr. Michel Abou-Obeid, DMD

Dr. Michel Abou-Obeid, DMD

Co-Founder · Orthodontist

For Dr. Michel, orthodontics is more than a profession—it is a family tradition spanning three generations. Inspired by his grandfather, a dentist, and his father, an orthodontist, he developed an early passion for creating healthy, confident smiles and building meaningful, long-lasting relationships with his patients.

Dr. Michel earned his dental degree from Lebanese University, completed his specialty training in orthodontics at NYU College of Dentistry, and later earned his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from Rutgers School of Dental Medicine. Before returning to the Northeast, he owned and operated his own orthodontic practice in Texas for seven years.

Beyond the office, Dr. Michel is committed to giving back through volunteer outreach and local community initiatives. He looks forward to becoming an active member of the East Rutherford community and caring for generations of local families.

Fluent in English, French, Spanish, and Arabic—and currently learning Italian—Dr. Michel enjoys connecting with patients from many different cultures and backgrounds. His goal is to ensure that every patient feels understood, comfortable, and confident throughout their orthodontic journey.
