R & R Orthodontics is about 7 miles from Poughquag, and the drive is roughly 11 minutes along a single road. Route 55 runs through Poughquag and continues west to our door at 1145 Route 55 in LaGrangeville. We provide braces, Invisalign® clear aligners, early treatment for children, and adult orthodontics, with free exams and no referral needed.
There is no parkway, no highway, and effectively nothing to navigate. If you can find Route 55, you can find us.
Everything is provided at one office by the same team.
Braces in metal and ceramic handle the widest range of problems, including complex bite corrections. Invisalign® clear aligners are a great option for adults and older teenagers, and we take digital records with an iTero® scanner instead of putty impressions. Early treatment starts with a check around age seven, and frequently, no early intervention will be necessary; we will simply keep an eye on growth until the timing is right. Adults are always welcome, and retainers and long-term retention are handled here as well.
Dr. Richard G. Rosenbloom has practiced orthodontics for 37 years, has treated about 8,000 patients, and sees every patient personally.
Route 55 is the whole route. Head west and you reach us in about 11 minutes, at Lexington Park Plaza, directly on the road and across from Arlington High School. We are half a mile west of the Taconic State Parkway, though from Poughquag you arrive before the parkway rather than using it.
It is a simple, straight drive, which makes appointments easy to fit in, particularly on school mornings.
Poughquag has its own mailing address, but the hamlet is part of the Town of Beekman, in the southeastern part of Dutchess County, with Union Vale just to the north.
Our office sits on Route 55, directly across from Arlington High School, so scheduling around the school day is easy for Poughquag families.
We know families on this side of the county like to make every trip count. We work hard to keep appointments running on time, and we are happy to schedule siblings together whenever possible to save you an extra drive.
Dr. Richard Rosenbloom earned his undergraduate degree from Binghamton University, where he was elected to the Phi Beta Kappa honors organization. He then attended the University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine, earning his D.M.D. with honors near the top of his class.
He continued his orthodontic specialty education at UConn, where he completed the orthodontic residency program and received his Certificate in Orthodontics.
At R & R Orthodontics, we offer flexible financing options designed to help make orthodontic treatment affordable and manageable for a variety of budgets and family needs.
Your orthodontic treatment fee may include diagnostic records, orthodontic X-rays, digital scans, braces or Invisalign® appliances, routine adjustment visits, emergency appointments, and one set of final retainers for comprehensive treatment patients. During your consultation, our team will review your insurance benefits, explain your financing options, and help you choose a payment plan that fits your budget.
We offer customized orthodontic treatment solutions designed to improve alignment, bite balance, and long-term oral health while helping patients achieve healthy, confident smiles.
Metal and ceramic braces gradually move teeth into proper alignment while improving bite balance, spacing, and crowding concerns for healthier, more confident smiles.
Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners designed to gradually straighten teeth without metal brackets or wires while offering a discreet treatment experience.
Surgical orthodontics combines orthodontic treatment and jaw surgery to help correct severe bite issues, jaw discrepancies, and facial alignment concerns.
Early orthodontic treatment helps guide jaw growth and address developing bite and alignment concerns during important stages of childhood development.
Adult orthodontic treatment improves alignment, bite function, and smile aesthetics using modern techniques designed for comfort, convenience, and efficiency.
Orthodontic treatment for cleft palate patients focuses on supporting proper jaw development, bite alignment, and long-term oral function as part of comprehensive care.

About 7 miles and roughly 11 minutes, west along Route 55. It is the same road you are already on, so there is nothing to navigate.
Poughquag is a hamlet in the Town of Beekman. Union Vale is the neighboring town to the north. The postal address says Poughquag, while the town is Beekman, which catches out almost everyone who moves here.
Yes, and most of our teenage patients do. A mouthguard is essential for any contact sport, and we will fit one that works over braces. Tell us what your child plays, and we will factor it into the treatment plan.
There is usually an adjustment period of a couple of weeks while the lips and tongue adapt, and it is more noticeable on brass than woodwind. Most players are back to normal quickly. If your child plays seriously, mention it at the consultation, because it can influence which appliance we recommend.
Often you do not, which is why the exam is free. Crowding, gaps, a bite that does not meet evenly, thumb sucking past the early years, or losing baby teeth unusually early or late are all reasons to have a look. So is a dentist mentioning it.
