Why Consider Orthodontic Treatment?

Orthodontic treatment isn’t just about appearance—it plays a big role in your overall health and well-being. Misaligned teeth and bite issues can lead to long-term problems like jaw pain, tooth decay, speech difficulties, and even digestive issues due to improper chewing. Braces help correct these issues, leading to a healthier smile and a better quality of life.

Benefits of Braces

  • Healthier teeth — Straight teeth are easier to clean, lowering the risk of cavities and gum disease
  • Improved bite — Braces align the bite, reducing jaw strain and discomfort
  • Boosted confidence — A well-aligned smile often leads to higher self-esteem
  • Better speech — Correcting dental alignment can improve clarity and pronunciation
  • Long-term savings — Preventive care now reduces costly dental issues later

Whether you’re a parent looking to support your child’s development or an adult ready to invest in yourself, orthodontic treatment offers benefits that go far beyond cosmetics.

Types of Braces in East Elmhurst, NY

At Braces World, we offer several types of braces to suit different ages, preferences, and treatment needs. Each option is carefully explained so you can feel confident in your choice.

  • Metal braces — The most common and effective option, great for kids, teens, and adults
  • Ceramic braces — Tooth-colored brackets for a more discreet appearance
  • Interceptive/early treatment — Braces and appliances used for younger children to guide jaw development
  • Braces for adults — Tailored options that consider lifestyle, career, and comfort

Our orthodontists will evaluate your unique needs and recommend the most efficient, comfortable solution to help you reach your smile goals. Whether you want something subtle or you’re focused on speed, we’ll find the right path forward—together.

Shelby F.
Amazing, professional, fast and transparent. No hidden fees, and the doctors are very personable. They listened to my problems and solved them immediately. It's SO HARD to find a healthcare professional that deals with TMJ and doesn't just refer you elsewhere in an endless cycle. There was NONE of that. They gave me a solution and within a week I was implementing it into my routine. I am ENDLESSLY THANKFUL and my jaw is already alleviated, getting better by the day.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Shelby! We're delighted to hear about your positive experience with our team. Your satisfaction and progress mean a lot to us. We're here to support you every step of the way!
