Braces in New York City

Braces remain one of the most effective and time-tested solutions for correcting misaligned teeth, bite issues, and jaw discrepancies. At Wall Street Orthodontics, we provide modern, customized braces for patients across New York City, including those in Wall Street, the Financial District, and surrounding neighborhoods.

Led by Dr. Lucas W. Shapiro, our practice blends traditional techniques with cutting-edge technology to deliver efficient, comfortable, and results-driven orthodontic care.

Braces are highly versatile and can be used to address a wide range of orthodontic concerns, including:

• Crowded or crooked teeth
  
  
• Gaps or spacing issues
  
  
• Overbite, underbite, and crossbite
  
  
• Jaw alignment problems
  
  
• Complex orthodontic cases not suited for clear aligners

Whether you're a teen starting orthodontic treatment or an adult seeking correction later in life, braces provide a predictable and comprehensive path to improved function and aesthetics.

At Wall Street Orthodontics, we offer a range of orthodontic treatments to suit every lifestyle and dental condition:

• Traditional Metal Braces – Durable and effective, these are ideal for moderate to severe alignment issues.
  
  
• Clear Ceramic Braces – A more discreet option using tooth-colored brackets for patients seeking low visibility.

If you're exploring more subtle options, we also offer Lingual Braces, which are placed behind the teeth, and Invisalign, a popular clear aligner system.

Your orthodontic journey begins with a comprehensive evaluation that may include Digital Impressions and 3D CT Scanning for precise diagnostics and treatment planning.

Once your braces are placed, you’ll return for regular adjustment appointments to gradually guide your teeth into their proper positions. The full treatment timeline typically ranges from 12 to 30 months, depending on complexity.

Throughout the process, our team monitors your progress and makes necessary refinements for optimal results.

Benefits of Braces

Choosing braces at our NYC orthodontic practice offers several advantages:

• Proven effectiveness for complex cases
  
  
• Durable materials that withstand daily wear
  
  
• No risk of misplacing aligners
  
  
• Often more affordable than alternative treatments
  
  
• Customizable with colored bands for younger patients

For patients seeking a combination of options, our Hybrid Treatment approach may offer the best of both worlds — integrating traditional braces with clear aligners or hidden systems.
