Orthodontist in West Nyack, NY
West Nyack families know that finding the right orthodontic care takes more than a quick search. It takes a practice with deep roots, proven results, and a genuine commitment to every patient who walks through the door. Whether you are looking for a straighter smile for your child, a teenager preparing for a big life event, or an adult ready to finally make a change, quality orthodontic treatment has the potential to improve not just your teeth but your confidence and long-term oral health.
At Clemente Orthodontics, we have been serving Rockland County and the surrounding communities from our New City location for decades. Founded by Dr. Michael Clemente and now carried forward alongside his daughters, Dr. Dani Panichella-Clemente, Dr. Nicole Clemente and Dr. Marissa Clemente, ours is a multigenerational family practice built on the principle that every patient deserves individualized attention, honest guidance, and outstanding results.

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 West Nyack Residents Choose Clemente Orthodontics
West Nyack sits at the heart of Rockland County, putting residents within easy reach of our New City office. We understand that commuting to appointments is part of everyday life here, so we work to make scheduling as convenient as possible for busy families and working adults alike.
A Family Practice With Generational Experience
There is a meaningful difference between a practice that has treated thousands of patients over generations and one that is still building its footing. Dr. Michael Clemente has been practicing orthodontics for more than 50 years, and that depth of clinical knowledge shapes everything we do. Our team treats patients from early childhood through adulthood, offering continuity of care that many families in West Nyack come to rely on year after year.
A Sapphire Invisalign® Provider
We hold Sapphire Invisalign® Provider status, a designation that reflects the volume and quality of Invisalign® cases we complete. Our doctors treat more Invisalign® patients than 99% of all other Invisalign® providers in the nation, with over 10,000 cases completed. For West Nyack patients who want a discreet, removable alternative to traditional braces, Invisalign® treatment at our New City office offers a proven path to a beautifully aligned smile without brackets or wires.
According to a 2025 survey by the American Association of Orthodontists, the number of patients in active orthodontic treatment has reached an all-time high, with an estimated 6.66 million patients currently being treated by AAO member orthodontists in the United States and Canada. More people than ever are recognizing the health and confidence benefits that come with a properly aligned smile.

Orthodontic Services for Every Stage of Life
Our practice is designed to care for patients at any age, from young children whose jaws are still developing to adults pursuing treatment for the first time. Whatever your starting point, we will create a plan tailored to your goals.
Braces That Set the Standard
We take a distinctive approach to traditional braces. Unlike many practices, we do not place circumferential bands around teeth. This approach promotes better oral hygiene and a more comfortable overall experience. Our braces treatment at the New City office reflects the same attention to detail we bring to every service we provide.
Early Orthodontic Care
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children receive their first orthodontic evaluation by age seven. Catching concerns early allows us to guide jaw growth and tooth development during the window when these structures are most responsive. Our early orthodontics program is built around the growth-modifying philosophy that Dr. Michael Clemente has developed and refined over more than three decades. His proprietary Growth Modifying Appliance offers patients a removable alternative to fixed palate expanders, making treatment more comfortable without sacrificing effectiveness.
Adult Orthodontic Treatment
Adult treatment has become increasingly common, and for good reason. Properly aligned teeth are easier to keep clean, contribute to a healthier bite, and can reduce strain on the jaw over time. Whether you are considering Invisalign® or another solution, we will assess your situation thoroughly and walk you through every option available.
What Makes Clemente Orthodontics Different
Many orthodontic offices offer similar-sounding services, but the details matter. Our practice stands apart for several reasons that West Nyack patients find meaningful when making their decision.
We are a true family practice, which means you may see the same doctor at every appointment rather than rotating through a roster of providers. Dr. Dani Panichella-Clemente, Dr. Nicole Clemente, and Dr. Marissa Clemente bring their own training and clinical perspective to every case while carrying forward a tradition their father spent decades building. Meet our team of orthodontists to learn more about the experience and training each doctor brings to the practice.
We also invest in technology that makes treatment more precise and more comfortable. From digital imaging to advanced treatment planning, we bring the tools of modern orthodontics to a practice that has never lost sight of the personal touch that patients remember long after treatment is complete.
