FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best age for a child's first orthodontic evaluation?

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.

Do you treat teens, adults, or both?

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.

Do you accept insurance and offer payment plans?

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.

Do you offer free consultations?

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.

Which Brooklyn neighborhoods do you serve?

Our office is on Coney Island Avenue and we treat patients from across south Brooklyn, the five boroughs, and the tri-state area: 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.
