Orthodontic Challenges? We Understand.

Straightening teeth can seem intimidating, especially if you have concerns about discomfort, treatment duration, or costs. At SmileWorks, we understand the common challenges our patients face, from fear of pain to the anxiety of navigating braces or aligners as adults.

We want you to know that you’re not alone. We make it our priority to ensure every patient feels comfortable and empowered throughout their orthodontic journey. Our goal is to simplify the process, reduce any discomfort, and help you smile confidently again.

We believe in proactive, gentle orthodontic care that prioritizes your comfort at every step. We use the latest technology to make your experience as efficient and comfortable as possible, helping alleviate any initial fears you may have about orthodontic treatment.

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.

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:

Metal Braces

Metal Braces

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

Invisalign Aligners

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

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

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

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 small jaw

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.

Retainers installed

Retainers

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.
