A beautiful smile and improved Dental health
Our services
Transform Smiles with Braces,
Invisalign® and More
Braces
We provide both modern metal braces and ceramic braces . Today’s braces are smaller, more comfortable, and more effective than ever. Braces reliably correct misaligned teeth, crowding, gaps, overbites/underbites, and more. Dr. Ingberman will help you choose the option that suits your smile. Some patients love showing off colorful bands on traditional braces, while others prefer the subtle look of clear brackets.
Invisalign®
Enjoy a nearly invisible way to straighten your teeth! Invisalign uses a series of removable clear aligners instead of brackets and wires. As an Invisalign Platinum Provider, Dr. Ingberman has treated hundreds of cases with aligners. Invisalign is popular with both teens and adults because you can eat whatever you like and maintain normal brushing/flossing with ease.
Retainers & Post-Treatment Care
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.

Advanced Technology & Techniques
You deserve the best and latest in orthodontic care. That’s why our clinic is equipped with state-of-the-art technology. We use 3D digital scanners to take precise impressions of your teeth, no more goopy molds! making your treatment more comfortable and accurate. Our doctors stay up-to-date through continuing education in modern techniques like Invisalign®, clear braces, and accelerated orthodontic treatments that can shorten treatment time. Our commitment to modern techniques means you’ll benefit from treatments that are not only effective, but often faster and more comfortable too. We’re proud to offer Brooklyn patients big city orthodontic advancements with a local, personal touch.
Invisalign Platinum Provider
Brace Central is an Invisalign Platinum 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. Learn more on our Invisalign in Brooklyn page.
Flexible Financing & Insurance
A straight smile is an investment that lasts a lifetime, and we believe cost should not be a barrier. Brace Central Orthodontics offers affordable payment plans to suit your budget. During your consultation, we’ll go over the expected cost of treatment (which can vary depending on braces or Invisalign and the length of treatment) and work out a payment schedule that works for you, often with interest-free financing options. We also accept most major dental insurance plans and will help you maximize your orthodontic benefits. No insurance? We offer family discounts and seasonal promotions at times. Everyone deserves a healthy smile, and we’ll do our best to make it attainable for you.
Proven Results & Happy Patients
Our success is measured in smiles. We are honored to have earned dozens of five-star reviews and heartfelt testimonials from patients who loved their results and enjoyed their experience along the way!. Nothing makes us happier than seeing a once-shy child beaming after their braces come off, or an adult finally smiling with confidence after hiding their teeth for years. Our practice has grown primarily through word-of-mouth referrals, which speaks to the trust our patients have in us. When you choose Brace Central Orthodontics, you’re choosing a practice that Brooklyn families have trusted for years.
Convenience & Accessibility
Located in the heart of Brooklyn at 2468 Coney Island Avenue in the Gravesend/Sheepshead Bay area, our office is easy to reach by car or public transit. That makes us a great choice if you’re looking for an “orthodontist near me” in Brooklyn’s southern neighborhoods. We offer flexible appointment times, including after-school hours, because we know your family’s schedule is busy. Our responsive front desk team will help find appointment slots that work for you, and we strive to run on time so you can get back to your day quickly. Have an emergency like a poking wire or lost aligner? We make room to see urgent issues ASAP. Your time and comfort are important to us.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q:
What's the best age for a child's first orthodontic evaluation?
A:
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. Dr. Ingberman evaluates hundreds of kids a year at this exact stage, the consultation is free and takes about 30 minutes.
Q:
Do you treat teens, adults, or both?
A:
Both. Roughly half our active patients are teens in braces or Teen Invisalign, the other half are adults using Invisalign or clear ceramic braces. Adult orthodontics has grown significantly in Brooklyn, and our three orthodontists treat adult cases from simple alignment to full bite correction.
Q:
What is the cost range for braces or Invisalign in Brooklyn?
A:
The average comprehensive orthodontic case at our Brooklyn office runs around $5,500. Limited short-term cases (minor corrections, typically 4 to 9 months of treatment) generally range from $800 to $2,500. Invisalign and braces price similarly for the same case type. We accept most insurance plans, file the paperwork for you, and offer interest-free in-house payment plans that spread the balance across treatment length. Your free consultation includes a written, exact quote for your case.
Q:
Do you accept insurance and offer payment plans?
A:
Yes on both. We’re in-network with 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.
Q:
Do you offer free consultations?
A:
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. You leave with a written treatment plan and a price. No pressure, no obligation.
Q:
What if I have an orthodontic emergency between visits?
A:
Call us at (718) 998-1888. Most brace-related issues, a loose bracket, a poking wire, a lost aligner, can be triaged by phone, and we reserve same-day emergency appointments when in-office care is needed. We’ve handled Brooklyn emergencies for 25 years, you won’t be left waiting.
Q:
Which Brooklyn neighborhoods do you serve?
A:
Our office is on Coney Island Avenue and we treat patients from across south Brooklyn: Sheepshead Bay, Brighton Beach, Midwood, Bensonhurst, Borough Park, Marine Park, and Coney Island. We’re a short drive or B/Q train ride from most of south Brooklyn.
