The Treatment Process: Your Path to a Perfect Smile
Your journey to a confident smile follows a carefully planned process. Here’s what you can expect at each step:
Initial consultation
During your first visit with Dr. Shin, DDS, you’ll discuss your smile goals and undergo a thorough orthodontic evaluation. This comprehensive consultation helps our doctors understand your unique needs and create the right treatment approach.
Creating Your Custom Treatment Plan
We’ll gather detailed diagnostic records including digital X-rays, photographs, and a 3D scan of your teeth. These records allow us to design a precise treatment plan tailored to your specific orthodontic needs and desired results.
Starting Treatment
At this appointment, we’ll place your braces and provide detailed care instructions to ensure effective results. If needed, our experienced team will coordinate with other specialists for any necessary extractions before beginning orthodontic treatment.
Regular Adjustments
You’ll visit our office every 6-8 weeks for adjustments using orthodontic wire to guide your teeth into proper alignment. Treatment time varies based on your specific needs. Mild cases typically take 6-12 months, moderate cases 12-24 months, and more complex cases may require 24+ months.
Removal and Retention
The exciting day arrives when we remove your braces and polish your teeth to reveal your beautiful new smile. We’ll take final records and fit you for retainers to maintain your perfect smile for years to come.
Types of Braces We Offer
Traditional Metal Braces
The most common type of orthodontic treatment, modern metal systems are smaller and more comfortable than ever before. Using stainless steel brackets and gentle pressure from elastic bands, these effectively treat complex dental problems while being cost-effective for NY families.
Ceramic Braces
Want a more discreet option? Ceramic braces work just like traditional ones but use tooth-colored ceramic material for the brackets. This classic style option helps adults and teens feel confident throughout treatment while still achieving excellent results.
Lingual Braces
For those seeking a truly invisible solution, incognito braces are placed behind your teeth and tongue area. These customized lingual braces are completely hidden from the front, making them perfect for professionals throughout Manhattan wanting orthodontic care without visible brackets.
Prefer removable treatment? Clear aligners offer a virtually invisible way to straighten your teeth. Perfect for mild to moderate corrections, these custom Invisalign aligners let you maintain good oral hygiene while achieving your dream smile and perfect fit.

What Are The Benefits of Getting Braces?
Orthodontic treatment offers more than just an aesthetic enhancement; it provides a multitude of benefits that contribute to your overall dental health and confidence. Here’s why investing in this treatment is a decision that pays off in many ways:
Improved Dental Health
Orthodontic care corrects misaligned teeth, which can help prevent oral health issues such as cavities and gum disease. Crooked or crowded teeth can create hard-to-reach areas where plaque and food particles accumulate, leading to dental problems. By aligning your teeth, treatment makes it easier to clean effectively, reducing the risk of oral health issues.
Enhanced Functionality
Properly aligned teeth improve your ability to bite, chew, and speak. Misaligned teeth can affect your bite, leading to discomfort or difficulty with everyday functions. Treatment helps correct these orthodontic issues, enhancing your overall comfort and functionality.
Boosted Confidence
A straight smile can significantly enhance your self-esteem. Effective treatment helps you achieve a smile you’ll be proud to show off, which can positively benefit your confidence in social and professional situations throughout Manhattan.
Long-Term Results
Investing in orthodontic treatment provides long-lasting results. Once your teeth are aligned, they typically remain in place, especially when supported by retainers, offering you a beautiful, functional smile for years to come.
