Brenda
My name is Brenda, and I’m excited to be your Financial Coordinator. With over 26 years of experience I’m here to provide you with the best options for you and your family to achieve your orthodontic treatment goals.
Being married 33 years and having my daughter and son graduate from Old Bridge High School I’m here for our residence and all families alike. My goal is to build long lasting relationships while Dr.Vives provides you with a perfect smile!
Lisa
Let me be the first to welcome you. My name is Lisa. I have lived in Old Bridge for 25 years and I am originally from Brooklyn NY. I have worked in the medical/ dental field as a scheduling coordinator for over 25 years and have loved meeting each and every patient that has walked thru the door.
I am a proud mother of three amazing children and love spending time with family and friends. My best past time is a cup of tea near the shore. I can’t wait to add you to my list of wonderful people that I have met.
Jordan
Hey all my name is Jordan. I started out in the orthodontic field working in the lab and eventually making my way to the clinical area as an orthodontic assistant. Since being at ASFO, my position has transitioned into treatment coordinator. My position has allowed me to be a part of a patients’ smile transformation throughout treatment and has been so rewarding. If you’re at the office and ever hear someone at the front desk with a really loud laugh, yes that’s me! I love to laugh and you can always find me smiling from ear to ear. On my free time if I’m not researching my next travel destination you can find me hiking with my dog or spending time with my nieces and nephew.
Karin
Hi, I’m Karin! I have been an orthodontic assistant for 28 years and an Old Bridge resident for 37 years. I love what I do! I truly enjoy seeing how comfortable we can make an apprehensive patient feel when they come to our office. Our staff puts emphasis on making each patient feel important. In my spare time I enjoy taking long walks with my daughter and German Shepherd. My husband and I enjoy good food, so cooking is among my favorite hobbies. We hope you choose our office for your orthodontic treatment. We would love to see your happy smile join ours.
Karissa
Hello all! My name is Karissa; I am 27 years old and probably one of the most charismatic RDA’s you will ever meet. I love to sing and dance and enjoy life to the fullest. Dentistry is one of my passions. I love watching how we can change peoples confidence and happiness by straightening their teeth. I am very family oriented and love to hang out and just laugh. I have been a dental assistant since I’ve been 17. I’m always looking for more ways to grow as an assistant and to better myself for the practice. I look forward to working with any new patients that comes in, and I hope our practice will leave the most memorable impression.
Neida
Hi my name is Neida. I was born in Manhattan, NY but, raised most of my life in New Jersey. Being a dental assistant at Dr. Vives’s office has motivated me to continue to learn more about the dental world and the importance of making sure patients are always comfortable and happy. On my free time, you’ll most likely find me playing with my Siberian husky Lobo, at the gym, or at home relaxing with a glass of wine. If you get to know me on a personal level you’ll catch me being a bubbly person such as smiling, humming along to a song, and most importantly being a positive person.
Nina
Hello! My name is Nina and I’m all smiles all the time. I have been an orthodontic assistant for over 20 years and I love making a difference for all walks of people. In my spare time I like to try new foods and spending time with my family. I have twi beautiful girls that keep me on my toes. I welcome you to All Star Family Orthodontics.
Started my Invisalign treatment here today and I had a great experience! The entire staff is amazing and super friendly! Nina took her time to make sure everything was right and made sure I understood everything. Glad I came to All Star for my treatment.

My daughter had her treatment with dr. Vives and has removed her braces two years ago. We just came back from a retainer check up and as soon as we walked into the office she said "oh mom, I miss coming to this place, can I have braces again?"From someone who started wearing braces at age 7 and had to do the whole zero fun palate expansion, that tells you a lot about their practice. They are amazing!! Dr. Vives is great, all staff is kind and excellent, they make going there somehow fun and exciting. The office staff is great to deal with and they work with you and your insurance. I honestly only have great things to say about them, and highly recommend dr. Vives and All Star Family Orthodontics.

I had nothing short of an amazing experience here!! A friend had referred me to them and I’m so happy she did !! All Star Ortho helped me get Invisalign and helped me set up a payment plan with them :). The entire process I was met with friendly faces, professionalism, and sincere kindness. My appointment to get the first trays and attachments put on was very quick and easy. I would recommend All Star to anyone looking to find an orthodontist!! 🙂

I have known everyone from All Star Family Orthodontics for about 7 years now. Dr. Vives and the entire staff make you feel like apart of their family. My kids had treatment and now I have been in Invisalign treatment for 2 years now. I'm very happy with the way my teeth look, they made me smile again. I would 100% recommend anyone to go to this office.

I have been hesitant to get braces (Invisalign, in my case now) for over 10 years. I have been to many consultations along the way, with many orthodontists. When I say this is the greatest team/staff combo I have ever been through, I TRULY mean that. From Brenda who is in charge of billing to Carolyn in charge of consultations, to Karen the technician, and even Linda in the front desk... absolutely EVERYONE is top tier in their respective duties. Everyone makes you feel comfortable and knowledgeable around the entire process. As for Dr. Vives... AMAZING guy, very knowledgeable and educated. I will say for the 10+ years of waiting for "the right one".... THIS IS IT!

Dr. Vives and Nina were wonderful from start to finish. They explained everything to my son and made him feel at ease. I was surprised by how quick the appointment went. It just shows how efficient Dr. Vives and his team are. So glad we chose his office for my sons braces! Can’t wait to see his smile progress!

I used Dr Vives for my braces as a adult a few years ago and absolutely loved him and his office. Everyone that works there was always so nice and my teeth looked perfect at the end of 2 years. I was sure that we would use him again if our kids ever needed braces. Today he put braces on my 11 yr old son and he had a wonderful experience. He actually said he loved how nice they were to him on his way out and he left the office feeling good about himself and his new braces! Thank you Dr Vives and Nina! Your office is always a pleasure!

To the amazing staff of All Star Family Orthodontist, a great big thank you for the beautiful smile and confidence you have given my daughter. She has not stop smiling since September 20th when her braces were first removed. Her school pictures this year were unbelievable.

Dr. Vives and the whole team are amazing!! I want to rate them as a 10!! I started my invisalign treatment prior to moving out of state, then COVID hit, but Dr. Vives was so kind and access to care was great via virtual. Dr. Vives even found another Orthodontists close to where I moved to get my teeth x-rayed and images done to ship liners to me during COVID!! I could not have asked for anything better for customer service! Love love love… All Star Family and love how Dr. Vives ensures my teeth are perfect!

All Star Family Orthodontics is amazing! My children’s dentist recommended All Star because he takes his own children there. From the moment we walk in, we are greeted with nothing but friendly faces and positivity. The office is absolutely beautiful and very well-maintained. Lisa and the staff upfront are always willing to accommodate. Dr. Vives is patient and kind and explains everything he’s doing. He is gentle and calming and is easy to communicate with. Nina is a rockstar. She and my daughter laugh from the minute we walk into the office and throughout the entire appointment. My daughter has such a good time going to All Star that she gets excited to go to her appointments! I truly cannot say enough about this amazing team. They go above and beyond and we are extremely satisfied with the level of consistency and care at All Star Family Orthodontics.

The team at All Star Family Orthodontics lives up to its name. Every person that I encountered at the facility was so warm and welcoming. Invisalign is a big deal both financially and lifestyle wise and the staff at this office made me feel like I was in the best hands possible. Emily did a great job in helping me get the process started. Dr. Vives was extremely patient, informative, and educated in explaining the process in our first appointment. Later I had the pleasure of meeting the bubbly, hilarious MINA who is truly amazing and made sure the retainers worked for me as well. Lisa was so accommodating and made sure to schedule my appointments to work for my work schedule. Everybody there is truly amazing and I’m excited to begin this journey. They give you a t shirt which is awesome too.

I live in Philly. It was an hour drive to this orthpdontics and it was worth it.There are many great things to say about this place. The receptionist and staff are incredibly friendly and treat you as if you are apart of their family. The retainers they produce and hand out are incredibly high quality and tight. In particular, the clear plastic retainers they make are thicker and as a result they last longer then they typically last (1-2 years) even if u grind your teeth.
