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.

Braces FAQs for East Elmhurst Residents

When should my child see an orthodontist?

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first visit by age 7. Early evaluation helps catch and guide developing issues.

Are braces painful?

You may feel minor discomfort when braces are first placed or adjusted, but it’s usually mild and temporary. Over-the-counter pain relievers help ease the transition.

 

Do you offer braces for adults?

Both of my children have gone to this office for years since our kids started school. So about 4 years now.

The staff and doctors punctual, knowledgeable, and work well with children.

Itโ€™s always sad to see irritated or rude parents like I did twice today. The staff is always honest and transparent about co-pays or additional cost as well as optional procedures vs mandatory and how it benefits the child. Prices are listed in multiple areas of the office.

Front desk is professional, honest, kind, & thorough.

Pay the $140 for laughing gas or be a raging anxiety mess while your child suffers & is forever terrified of the dentist!! You spend more on groceries!

Freeport kids Dental & Orthodontics is to my knowledge one of best places to go when you children needs Dental braces the attention of the staff is very professional and friendly, The Dentist are extremely knowledgeable and make you feel
Like family, I have taken my 2 daughters and their and their smile couldnโ€™t be any better. I have my youngest son getting his braces done there as well. Not to mention that the cost is extremely affordable compared to any other place itโ€™s a fraction of what you would pay in another clinic! And Dr. Nina B. Laracuenteha has a distinct passion for putting a beautiful smile on your child and that for me and my wife being in the medical field as well puts her on a high standard of patient care.

Thanks you all!!!

I donโ€™t have any more children to take there but if you are looking around to take your child for braces donโ€™t look any further you wonโ€™t be disappointed

Great experience as a 1st timer. Only suggestion would be to have glass sliding doors that locks from the inside with picture on them for each room to avoid individuals from walking into them and to have stable dental chair, especially for the children.

I appreciated the interaction that each staff provided to children as a 1st timer to the facility from getting there teeth removed and X-ray of the mouth. They allowed parent to provide solutions to getting things done.

It would be nice if there Laughing Gas was included in the visited when needed, instead of paying out of pocket of $140.00
