Teeth Braces at Tribeca – Upper East Side

Welcome to orthodontics designed around your comfort and confidence. Led by our experienced team, we provide custom treatment plans for patients of all ages seeking a straighter smile and improved oral health.

What Are the Types of Braces?

Braces are orthodontic appliances used to correct misaligned teeth, bite issues, and overcrowding. Traditional braces include brackets, wires, and rubber bands that apply gentle pressure to move teeth into better alignment. We offer:

  • Metal braces
  • Lingual braces (hidden behind the teeth)
  • Invisalign treatment (clear aligner therapy)

How Do Braces Work?

Braces gradually shift your teeth into optimal alignment using continuous, gentle pressure. You’ll visit us every 4–6 weeks for adjustments to ensure steady progress and a healthy bite.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Braces?

You may benefit from braces if you have:

  • Crooked or crowded teeth
  • Overbite, underbite, open bite
  • Crossbite
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Difficulty chewing or bite discomfort


If you’ve been searching for “braces near me in Upper East Side”, we can help determine whether metal braces, adult braces, lingual braces, or Invisalign is right for you.

  • A clear cost estimate
  • Insurance coverage review
  • Flexible payment plan options

Adjusting to Life With Braces – Helpful Tips

  • Oral Hygiene: Brush after meals and floss daily. Orthodontic brushes and interdental cleaners help keep areas around brackets and wires clean.

     

  • Eating & Food Choices: Avoid sticky, chewy, and hard foods. Choose softer options and cut larger foods into smaller pieces to protect your brackets.
    .
  • Comfort Tips: Mild soreness after adjustments is normal. Orthodontic wax, warm saltwater rinses, and OTC pain relief can help ease discomfort.

Frequently Asked Questions

Treatment times depend on your orthodontic needs and the type of braces you choose. Most orthodontic care plans range from 12–24 months, but complex tooth movement or bite correction may take longer. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate how applying pressure through brackets and wires will guide your teeth into their proper alignment.

We offer several orthodontic treatment options, including:

  • Traditional metal brackets
  • Tooth-colored ceramic braces for a more subtle look
  • Lingual braces placed behind the teeth
  • Ligating braces (self-ligating systems with fewer adjustments)
  • Invisalign clear aligners


Our orthodontic services are designed to address misalignment, bite issues, and overall dental health.

Braces use gentle, consistent force to guide teeth into correct positions. The brackets and wires work together by gradually moving the teeth through controlled tooth movement. Over time, the applied pressure reshapes the bone around the teeth, allowing for long-lasting alignment.

Yes. Many adults choose orthodontic care to improve their dental health, boost confidence, or correct long-standing bite issues. Options like lingual braces, ceramic braces, or Invisalign make treatment more discreet.

Mild forms of gum disease can often be treated before orthodontic treatment begins. Healthy gums are essential for safe and effective tooth movement. During your exam, we’ll assess your gum health and recommend the right treatment option before starting braces.

Brush after every meal, floss daily, and use orthodontic cleaning tools to keep food away from the brackets and wires. Good hygiene helps prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and delays in treatment times.

If a wire, metal bracket, or ligating brace component breaks, contact our office immediately. Avoid trying to fix anything at home, as this can interfere with tooth movement or irritate your gums.

Costs vary depending on the type of braces (metal, ceramic, or lingual braces) and the complexity of treatment. We offer flexible payment options, and many patients can use their flexible spending account (FSA). Our team will review insurance coverage with you to ensure you maximize your orthodontic benefits.

Yes. Tooth-colored ceramic braces work just like traditional metal braces, using brackets and wires to guide teeth into proper alignment. They blend in with natural enamel, making them a popular aesthetic choice.

Lingual braces are placed behind the teeth, offering an invisible treatment option. They are ideal for adults or teens who want discreet orthodontic care without visible appliances. During your consultation, we’ll determine whether your bite and alignment make you a good candidate.
