Braces and Invisalign for kids, teens and adults at 2468 Coney Island Avenue in Gravesend. Free consultation.
Your first visit is a free consultation. One of our four orthodontists examines your teeth and bite, we take digital impressions with an iTero scanner instead of putty trays, and you leave with a treatment plan. Cost, insurance and payment options are gone over before anything starts, for kids, teens and adults alike.
You're in great hands at Brace Central Orthodontics. Our founder, Dr. Polina Ingberman, has over a quarter century of orthodontic experience creating beautiful smiles. She graduated at the top of her class from NYU College of Dentistry, completed her orthodontic specialty training at Columbia University, and previously taught at Columbia University. Dr. Ingberman is known for her gentle touch and attention to detail; she is always up to date with the latest advances in orthodontics.
Along with Dr. Amalya Igityan, Dr. Raitzel Bernstein, and Dr. Ezro Yadgarov, our team takes the time to listen to each patient and build a treatment plan around that patient. Patients appreciate our team's commitment to providing advanced, patient-centered care in a supportive environment. We are here if you're looking for expert orthodontic care from an experienced and compassionate team. We also offer modern metal braces and ceramic braces and Invisalign in Brooklyn.
"Every Brooklyn smile we treat has its own story. Our goal is making sure our patients leave more confident than when they walked in. I've spent over a quarter century perfecting that balance, and it's why I trained our associates to work the same way."Dr. Polina Ingberman, DDS, Founder
Brace Central is an Invisalign Pearl Provider, a tier awarded to practices that treat a high volume of Invisalign cases each year. That means our orthodontists have the hands-on experience to know when Invisalign is the right choice, when braces are a better fit, and how to sequence complex cases.
Every patient starts with a free consultation: an exam, digital impressions and a treatment plan to take home before deciding anything.
Our building has its own parking lot. Pull in from Coney Island Avenue, park for free and walk straight in.
Weekend appointments for families whose weekdays are already full.
Interest-free in-house plans cover the part insurance does not. We accept most major dental insurance plans and file the paperwork for you.
The plan gets explained in the language your family prefers.
We take digital impressions with an iTero scanner instead of putty trays. Faster, and far more comfortable.
Finishing orthodontic treatment is a huge milestone. Retainers make sure your new smile lasts a lifetime. We offer custom retainers (both removable and fixed options) to maintain your teeth in their perfect positions. Our team will guide you on how to wear and care for your retainer. Lost or broken retainer? We can quickly provide replacements and get you back on track.

(718) 998-1888FAQ
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first evaluation by age 7. Most kids don't need treatment that early, but catching alignment or bite issues early lets us plan the simplest, shortest treatment later. Our doctors evaluate hundreds of kids a year at this exact stage, the consultation is free and takes about 30 minutes.
Both. We treat kids, teens, and adults with functional appliances, braces, or Invisalign. Adult orthodontics has grown significantly in Brooklyn, and our three orthodontists treat adult cases from simple alignment to full bite correction.
Yes on both. We accept most major dental insurance plans that include orthodontic benefits, and our team files the paperwork for you. For the portion not covered by insurance, we offer flexible in-house payment plans spread across the length of treatment, with no interest.
Yes. Your first visit at our Coney Island Avenue office is free, whether you're exploring braces, Invisalign, or just want a professional opinion on whether treatment is necessary.
