Orthodontist in Spring Valley, NY
Straightening your teeth is about far more than a more attractive smile. It can improve how you bite, how you speak, and how you feel day to day. For Spring Valley families and individuals considering orthodontic care, the provider you choose shapes not just your outcome but your entire experience from the first consultation to the last follow-up appointment.
Clemente Orthodontics has been serving Rockland County and the surrounding communities for more than five decades, and our New City location is the most convenient office for Spring Valley patients. Dr. Michael Clemente founded our practice more than five decades ago, and today his daughters, Dr. Dani Panichella-Clemente, Dr. Nicole Clemente, and Dr. Marissa Clemente, work alongside him, making ours a multigenerational family practice built on a foundation of family values, clinical innovation, and a deep connection to the communities we serve.

What Does an Orthodontist Do?
Many people assume that orthodontic care is mostly about straightening teeth, but the scope of what we do goes well beyond aesthetics. Orthodontists are dental specialists who complete additional years of training focused specifically on moving teeth and guiding jaw development. We assess how your teeth come together when you bite, how your jaw aligns, and whether there are underlying structural issues that could affect your oral health over time.
Treatment addresses a wide variety of conditions, including crowded teeth, spaces between teeth, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites. Left unaddressed, many of these conditions can make teeth harder to keep clean, contribute to uneven wear on enamel, and cause added strain on the jaw. According to the American Association of Orthodontists, one in three orthodontic patients today is an adult, a reflection of how this kind of treatment can be beneficial at any stage of life.
Why Spring Valley Families Choose Clemente Orthodontics
Spring Valley is one of the most diverse and densely populated communities in Rockland County, and the families here deserve access to orthodontic care that is both clinically excellent and genuinely personal. Our New City office is just minutes away and built to accommodate the schedules and needs of busy households.
A Practice Built on Generations of Experience
There is a meaningful difference between a practice that has spent decades refining its approach and one still finding its footing. Dr. Michael Clemente has been practicing orthodontics for more than 50 years, and everything we do today reflects that depth of experience. Our team of orthodontists treats patients of every age, from young children in early evaluation to adults pursuing treatment for the first time, and that breadth of experience means you are always working with someone who has handled cases like yours before.

What We Treat
Orthodontic concerns vary widely from patient to patient, and we approach each case as its own clinical puzzle. Whether the issue involves bite alignment, tooth position, jaw development, or spacing, our team has the training and experience to address it with precision.
Orthodontic Care for the Whole Family
From early orthodontic evaluations for children as young as seven to comprehensive treatment plans for working adults, we tailor our approach to each patient’s age, anatomy, and goals. We recommend early evaluations because addressing developing jaw and bite patterns while a child is still growing can reduce the length and intensity of later treatment.
For older teens and adults, orthodontic care at our New City practice covers everything from traditional metal braces to Invisalign®, with treatment timelines and options discussed in full at your first visit. Our teen orthodontic treatment options are built around both clinical effectiveness and the realities of a teenager’s daily life, whether that means Invisalign® for flexibility or braces for a case that demands them.
The Clemente Difference
Several qualities set our practice apart from other orthodontic offices in the region, and Spring Valley patients tell us these details matter when making their decision.
We do not place circumferential bands around the teeth. Most traditional orthodontic practices still use banding, but we moved away from this approach because of the impact it can have on gum tissue health. We also do not use a one-size-fits-all treatment model. Every plan is built around the individual, with each doctor taking personal responsibility for the cases they manage.
Dr. Michael Clemente developed his proprietary Growth Modifying Appliance approximately 35 years ago as a removable alternative to fixed palate expanders. It has become a cornerstone of how we approach jaw development in growing patients. Unlike fixed expanders that are cemented in place, this appliance can be removed for eating and cleaning, which makes the early treatment experience more manageable for children and their families.
These details reflect how much thought goes into every decision we make on behalf of the people in our care.
