What Treatments Do New City Orthodontists at Clemente Orthodontics Offer?

Our team provides comprehensive treatment options including:

• Invisalign® for teens and adults
• Traditional metal braces
• Clear braces (ceramic braces)
• Teen orthodontics
• Night guards for teeth grinding
• Retainers and retention care

As the top Invisalign® provider in New York, our New City orthodontists have exceptional experience with this increasingly popular treatment option.

How Do Orthodontists Straighten Teeth?

Orthodontists use controlled, gentle forces to gradually move teeth into proper alignment. Our team uses braces, which apply precise pressure through brackets and wires, and Invisalign®, which uses a series of custom-made aligners to shift teeth in small increments.

For younger patients, early intervention techniques can guide jaw growth and tooth development before more serious issues form. Our orthodontists create customized treatment plans based on a detailed analysis of your teeth, jaw structure, and facial proportions.

What Problems Can an Orthodontist Correct?

Our New City orthodontists treat a wide range of dental and skeletal issues, including:

• Crowded teeth
• Gaps between teeth
• Overbites (upper teeth overlap lower teeth excessively)
• Underbites (lower teeth positioned ahead of upper teeth)
• Crossbites (misaligned bite from side to side)
• Open bites (front teeth don’t meet when back teeth are closed)
• Jaw misalignments causing pain or dysfunction
• Breathing concerns related to jaw position and airway development

Beyond improving appearance, orthodontic treatment from our New City office can enhance dental function, speech clarity, and overall oral health.

At What Age Should My Child See an Orthodontist?

Most children should have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7, according to the American Association of Orthodontists. At this stage, our team can spot potential issues while the jaw is still developing, allowing for earlier, less complex treatment if needed. Early visits don’t always mean immediate treatment — monitoring is sometimes all that’s required.

How Long Does Orthodontic Treatment Usually Take?

Treatment duration with our New City orthodontists varies based on your specific needs and the complexity of your case. On average:

• Comprehensive treatment with braces typically takes 18-24 months
• Invisalign® treatment often ranges from 6-18 months, depending on complexity
• Early intervention treatment varies widely based on specific needs

During your complimentary consultation at our New City office, our orthodontists will provide a personalized estimate for your treatment timeline.

What’s the Difference Between Invisalign® and Braces?

Invisalign® uses nearly invisible, removable aligners that let you eat and clean your teeth without restriction. Braces use brackets and wires bonded to the teeth and work continuously, making them highly effective for more complex cases. Our team will recommend the best option based on your specific needs. For a detailed cost breakdown, see our Braces vs. Invisalign® Cost Comparison.

Will My Insurance Cover Orthodontic Treatment?

Many dental insurance plans include orthodontic benefits, though coverage varies by plan. Our New City office works with most major insurance providers and has team members dedicated to helping you maximize your benefits. We’ll verify your coverage before treatment begins and handle the claims process so you can focus on your smile. For patients with partial coverage or no insurance, our flexible payment options — including plans starting at $99 per month — make orthodontic care more accessible.

How Do I Care for My Teeth During Orthodontic Treatment?

Proper oral hygiene is especially important during orthodontic treatment. Our New City orthodontists recommend:

• Brushing after every meal using a soft-bristle toothbrush
• Using interdental brushes or a water flosser to clean around brackets and under wires
• Flossing daily with floss threaders or orthodontic flossers
• Avoiding hard, sticky, and chewy foods that could damage braces
• Wearing a mouthguard during sports to protect both your teeth and orthodontic appliances
• Keeping all scheduled appointments with your New City orthodontist

For Invisalign® patients, our New City orthodontists emphasize the importance of keeping aligners clean and wearing them for the prescribed 20-22 hours daily.

What Happens After My Orthodontic Treatment Is Complete?

After completing treatment, you’ll wear retainers to maintain your new smile. Initially worn full-time, retainers gradually shift to nighttime-only wear. Our team will create custom retainers in New City and provide detailed care instructions to help your results last a lifetime.
