Enjoy the Benefits of Braces
Improve Your Oral Health
Crooked or crowded teeth can make it harder to properly brush and floss, leading to plaque buildup and increased risk of cavities and gum disease. Braces straighten your teeth, making it easier to clean them effectively and maintain better overall oral health.
Ease Jaw Pain and Discomfort
If you're experiencing jaw soreness, trouble chewing, or headaches, it could be due to a misaligned bite. Braces help realign your teeth and jaw, relieving pain and reducing the risk of future issues like TMJ dysfunction.
Boost Your Confidence
A straight smile can make a big difference in how you feel about your appearance. If misalignment is causing you to hide your smile, braces can help create a more symmetrical, confident look that you’ll be proud to show off in any situation.

Do you have symptoms of a temporomandibular (TMJ) disorder? Treatment with braces can help correct jaw alignment issues, relieving symptoms like jaw pain, clicking, or difficulty chewing.
Patients of all ages can benefit from braces, but if you're an adult in work or school, you may want a more discreet option. We offer subtle braces and Invisalign® clear aligners to suit your lifestyle.
Caring for Your Braces During Treatment
Caring for your braces throughout your treatment is easy. Here are a few things to keep in mind.
Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing at least twice a day. Be sure to brush and clean around the wires and brackets.
Maintain regular dental exams and orthodontic checkups at our Murry Hill, Manhattan office to ensure your treatment is progressing properly. This will allow your orthodontist to make adjustments as needed.
Be sure to avoid certain foods like sticky caramel and gum. This can cause your brackets to become dislodged. If this happens, please call our office immediately.
Alternatives to Braces Offered by Our Manhattan Experts
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces are a discreet alternative to traditional metal braces. They clear or tooth-colored brackets that blend in with your natural teeth. They are just as effective at correcting a variety of dental issues but much are less noticeable. While they can be more expensive and require some extra care to avoid staining, they offer a more aesthetic option for those looking for less-visible treatment.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are a subtle, comfortable alternative to traditional braces. Made of smooth, clear plastic, they gradually shift teeth into alignment without the need for metal brackets or wires. They’re removable, allowing for easy eating, drinking, and oral hygiene. Clear aligners are ideal for those seeking a nearly invisible option for mild to moderate orthodontic correction.
Frequently Asked Questions About Braces in Manhattan
Do braces hurt?
No. Some mild discomfort is to be expected when you first get your braces and in the first few days following your adjustments, but this discomfort should be easily managed with over-the-counter pain medications. If you have severe pain or irritation, please let our dental team know.
How long does treatment take?
The length of your treatment will largely depend on the severity of your orthodontic issues. On average, treatment takes about 18–24 months to complete. You will then wear a retainer every night to maintain your results.
