Who We Treat
Orthodontic care is not limited to one age group. Children, teenagers, and adults all come to treatment with different needs.
For children, an early visit may help identify jaw growth concerns, spacing, crowding, bite problems, or eruption issues before all permanent teeth are in. Not every child needs early treatment, but early evaluation can help parents understand timing.
For teens, orthodontics often becomes more active. Braces, clear braces, or Invisalign may be considered depending on the teen’s smile, bite, maturity, and lifestyle.
For adults, treatment may focus on long-standing crowding, relapse after previous orthodontics, bite discomfort, or smile changes that have become more noticeable over time. Many adults also want discreet options, which is why Invisalign and clear braces are often part of the conversation.
Orthodontic Services Available in Manhattan
Every smile has its own starting point. Some patients need small tooth movements. Others need bite correction, jaw-growth guidance, or a more advanced plan for a complex case. Your consultation helps us determine what kind of orthodontic care makes sense.
Braces
Traditional braces remain one of the most reliable ways to correct crowding, spacing, rotated teeth, and bite issues. They allow precise tooth movement and may be recommended for children, teens, or adults.
Clear Braces
Clear braces may be an option for patients who want the control of braces with a more discreet appearance. They can be especially appealing for adults and teens who want treatment to look less noticeable.
Invisalign
For eligible patients, Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners to gradually move teeth. Aligners can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing, but they must be worn consistently to work well.
Invisalign Teen
Teen patients may qualify for clear aligner treatment depending on their orthodontic needs and ability to follow wear-time instructions.
Accelerated Orthodontics
House of Orthodontia is known for accelerated orthodontic care, which may help some patients move through treatment more efficiently when appropriate.
Complex Case Consultations
Some smiles involve more than mild crowding or spacing. If you have been told your case is complicated, our team can evaluate whether non-surgical or advanced orthodontic options may be possible.

When to See an Orthodontist
You do not need to know what treatment you need before scheduling a consultation. That is what the first visit is for.
You may want to meet with an orthodontist in Manhattan if you or your child has:
- crowded or overlapping teeth
- noticeable spaces between teeth
- an overbite, underbite, crossbite, or open bite
- teeth that shifted after braces
- difficulty biting or chewing comfortably
- jaw discomfort or uneven bite pressure
- a smile that feels out of balance
- a child with early or irregular tooth loss
- interest in Invisalign or clear braces
If you are unsure whether orthodontic treatment is needed, our orthodontic FAQ can help answer common questions before your visit.
