What is Orthodontic Treatment?
Orthodontic treatment is the process of correcting irregularities in teeth alignment to improve both functionality and appearance. Whether you have crowded teeth, gaps, or a misaligned bite, our orthodontic care aims to straighten teeth and achieve a harmonious smile. We offer a range of treatments, including traditional metal braces, clear braces, and Invisalign aligners to meet your preferences and needs.
Orthodontic treatments are not just about aesthetics; they contribute significantly to better oral health. Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of gum disease and cavities. Our experts work closely with you to develop a customized treatment plan that helps you maintain a healthy smile while achieving the best possible results.
From children to adults, orthodontic treatment can help prevent future issues by guiding the proper growth of teeth and jaw structure. Early intervention can minimize or avoid more serious corrections later, ensuring your journey to a perfect smile starts at the right time.
Comprehensive Orthodontic Solutions for Every Age
Modern orthodontics offers more options than ever before for children, teens, and adults. For kids requiring early intervention, we use gentle force techniques that guide proper jaw development and create space for emerging teeth. Teens often prefer our clear aligner options or ceramic braces that blend with their teeth. Adults throughout NY appreciate our professional approach and discreet treatment alternatives that won’t interfere with their careers.
Your initial visit begins with comprehensive evaluation using advanced 3D imaging technology. This detailed evaluation allows our doctor to assess not just tooth alignment but overall facial harmony and jaw relationships. We believe in treating the whole person, not just straightening teeth, which is why our orthodontic plans consider long-term stability and aesthetics.
Transform your smile with precision orthodontic care—crafted for alignment, comfort, and lasting confidence.
Our Orthodontic Treatments in Manhattan, NYC
At SmileWorks, we provide a full suite of orthodontic services designed to meet the needs of every patient. Our offerings include the following:
Traditional metal braces remain one of the most effective solutions for correcting severe misalignments. They consist of sturdy metal brackets attached to the teeth and connected by wires that gently move them into their desired positions. Our metal braces have evolved to be more comfortable and less intrusive than those of the past, ensuring effective and efficient treatment.
Invisalign aligners offer a clear, comfortable alternative to metal braces. These custom-made aligners are virtually invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth discreetly. Invisalign is popular among adults and teens who want effective treatment without the noticeable appearance of traditional braces.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces use clear or tooth-colored brackets, providing a less visible treatment option while delivering the same effective results as metal braces. They are a great choice for patients seeking a less noticeable way to straighten their teeth without opting for aligners.
Lingual Braces
For those who want an entirely hidden solution, lingual braces are placed behind the teeth and out of sight. These braces are customized for each patient, offering a discreet way to achieve a beautiful smile. Lingual braces are ideal for patients who want effective treatment without compromising aesthetics.
Headgear and Expanders
For patients needing advanced orthodontic interventions, we offer headgear and expanders to guide jaw growth and create space for incoming teeth. These appliances are used primarily for children undergoing early orthodontic treatment, helping avoid the need for complex treatments later.Resin crowns are more affordable but may not be as durable as porcelain or metal. They can wear down over time and are more prone to chipping. However, they can still be a viable option for temporary crowns or those seeking a more budget-friendly solution.
MARA Appliances and Mini-Implants
The MARA appliance helps correct severe bite issues and is often used in conjunction with braces to improve jaw alignment. Additionally, mini-implants may be utilized to provide better anchorage during orthodontic treatment, enhancing the overall outcome.
After completing your orthodontic treatment, retainers are crucial to keeping your teeth in their new, ideal positions. We offer a variety of retainers, including clear retainers and permanent retainers, customized for each patient to ensure long-lasting results. Proper retainer use is essential for maintaining your radiant smile for years to come.

For image-conscious patients, we offer tooth-colored ceramic brackets that blend seamlessly with your smile. These options work well for children and adults who need reliable, predictable results.
Invisalign treatment revolutionizes orthodontics for busy NYC professionals. These clear aligners allow you to straighten teeth without the appearance of braces, perfect for client-facing roles or special events. For ultimate discretion, Incognito braces attach to the back of teeth, remaining completely hidden while delivering exceptional results. During your consultation, we’ll discuss which option best suits your lifestyle and orthodontic goals.
