Braces

At Modern Orthodontics, we believe everyone deserves a smile they feel confident about. Our team of expert orthodontists in New York, NY, specializes in dental braces for patients of all ages—from children needing early intervention to adults seeking discreet cosmetic correction. With convenient locations in Tribeca, Harlem, and the Bronx, we make it easy to access expert care, flexible scheduling, and personalized treatment. Schedule your consultation and discover how we make teeth straightening easier and more effective.

We offer a wide selection of braces in New York designed to fit your lifestyle, preferences, and orthodontic goals:

• Traditional metal braces for proven, effective alignment
• Ceramic braces that blend with your natural teeth for a lower-profile look
• Invisalign® clear aligners for flexible, removable teeth straightening

Whether you’re in Harlem, the Bronx, or Tribeca, our orthodontists will recommend the best treatment option for your smile.

You may be a good candidate for orthodontic treatment if you experience:

• Crooked, crowded, or misaligned teeth
• Gaps between teeth
• Bite issues like overbite, underbite, or crossbite
• Jaw pain, clicking, or difficulty chewing

We offer complimentary consultations to evaluate your needs and discuss options.

Most patients complete their orthodontic treatment in 12 to 24 months, but your timeline depends on:

• The complexity of your alignment
• Your age and oral development
• The type of braces used
• Your consistency with appointments and care routines

We’ll provide a personalized estimate during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect.

Your consultation is designed to answer all your questions and help you feel confident moving forward. During your visit, we will:

• Evaluate your bite and alignment
• Discuss treatment options and goals
• Provide a timeline and cost estimate
• Schedule diagnostic records if you choose to proceed

No pressure—just honest guidance, expert recommendations, and friendly care.

Regular visits are an important part of your progress. Most patients come in every 4 to 8 weeks for:

• Wire adjustments
• Progress evaluations
• Comfort checks and oral hygiene advice

We offer evening and weekend hours at all locations to accommodate your schedule.

Yes—adult orthodontics is one of our fastest-growing services. Whether you’re correcting a long-standing issue or refining your smile, braces can offer:

• Better bite alignment
• Easier hygiene and oral care
• Increased confidence in professional and social settings

We offer ceramic braces and clear aligners, so you can straighten your teeth discreetly and comfortably.

Many dental insurance plans offer partial coverage for orthodontic care, especially for patients under 18. At Modern Orthodontics, we:

• Accept most major plans
• Offer financing options for out-of-pocket costs
• Provide detailed benefit estimates before treatment

Our staff is here to help you navigate your coverage so cost doesn’t stand in the way of care.

To keep your braces in top condition, avoid foods that can damage wires or brackets:

• Sticky treats like caramel and gum
• Hard snacks like popcorn, ice, or chips
• Crunchy fruits and vegetables (unless cut into small pieces)
• Tough meats that require forceful chewing

We’ll give you a full guide to braces-friendly foods at your first appointment.

Maintaining healthy teeth during braces treatment is crucial. We recommend:

• Brushing twice daily with a soft-bristled or orthodontic toothbrush
• Flossing daily using threaders or a water flosser
• Using fluoride rinse to strengthen enamel
• Scheduling regular dental cleanings

Our team will teach you how to protect your smile while you’re in braces.
