Metal & Ceramic Braces in NYC | Trusted Orthodontic Treatment
If you’re looking for a proven way to straighten your teeth, metal or ceramic braces remain one of the most effective orthodontic treatments available. At 65 Broadway Dental in NYC, we provide modern braces options designed to address everything from routine misalignment to complex dental concerns. Whether you need to correct bite issues or move difficult teeth into place, our expert team will guide you to the right solution.
Traditional braces have evolved—they’re smaller, more comfortable, and available in discreet options like tooth-colored ceramic brackets. Our orthodontists work closely with each patient to create a personalized plan that delivers optimal alignment, improved function, and a confident, lasting smile.
Why Choose Braces at 65 Broadway Dental?
At our NYC office, we offer both metal and ceramic braces tailored to your unique orthodontic needs. Here’s why patients trust us:

Metal brackets are strong enough to handle difficult movements, such as repositioning impacted or extra (supernumerary) teeth.
-
Durable & Effective
Metal brackets are strong enough to handle difficult movements, such as repositioning impacted or extra (supernumerary) teeth.
-
Discreet Ceramic Options
Ceramic braces offer the same effectiveness as metal but blend with your natural tooth color—ideal for those wanting a more subtle look.
-
Custom Treatment Plans
No two smiles are the same. We’ll assess your bite, spacing, and alignment to craft a braces solution tailored specifically for you.

How Braces Treatment Works
Our braces process is clear, thorough, and customized to your smile:
-
1. Orthodontic Consultation & Imaging
We begin with digital X-rays and 3D scans to evaluate tooth position and jaw alignment. Your orthodontist will discuss your goals and map out a treatment plan.
-
2. Bracket & Wire Placement
Braces are bonded to your teeth, and an archwire is secured in place. You’ll have the option of traditional metal or tooth-colored ceramic brackets.
-
3. Monthly Adjustments
Every 4–6 weeks, we’ll adjust your braces to gently guide your teeth into the correct position. These visits are essential for steady progress.
-
4. Retainers & Long-Term Care
Once your braces come off, we’ll provide a custom retainer to help maintain your new alignment. We’ll also schedule follow-up visits to monitor your progress.

FAQs
What’s the difference between metal and ceramic braces?
Metal braces are made of stainless steel and are highly durable, ideal for complex cases. Ceramic braces are tooth-colored, making them more discreet, but they can be slightly more fragile and may require extra care.
Are ceramic braces more expensive than metal braces?
Yes, ceramic braces typically cost more due to the materials and aesthetics. We’ll walk you through all your options and help you choose based on your needs and budget.
Will braces interfere with my daily activities?
Not much. You can speak, eat, and play instruments or sports with braces. You may need a mouthguard for contact sports, and it can take a few days to adjust after each tightening.
How often will I need to visit the office?
Most patients need to come in every 4–6 weeks for adjustments and to monitor progress. These visits help ensure steady movement and avoid delays in treatment.
Can braces fix jaw problems, too?
In many cases, yes. Braces can correct bite issues that contribute to jaw pain, TMJ discomfort, or uneven wear. Severe jaw problems might require additional treatments, which we’ll discuss during your exam.

Fixed Wire Retainers in NYC | Long-Term Smile Protection
After months or even years of orthodontic treatment, the last thing you want is for your teeth to shift back. At 65 Broadway Dental in NYC, we offer fixed wire retainers—a discreet, reliable way to preserve your beautifully aligned smile.
Unlike removable retainers, a fixed wire retainer is a thin metal wire that is bonded to the back of your teeth, typically behind the upper or lower front teeth. This wire holds your teeth in place 24/7 without affecting your appearance or speech. Whether you’ve completed treatment with metal braces, ceramic braces, or clear aligners, this retainer ensures your results last for years to come.
Why Choose a Fixed Wire Retainer at 65 Broadway Dental?
Choosing a fixed retainer means choosing stability. At our Manhattan office, we design and place each retainer with precision, ensuring comfort, functionality, and longevity.
Here’s why patients love fixed wire retainers:
-
Permanent, Hassle-Free Retention
A fixed retainer stays bonded behind your teeth, so you don’t have to worry about remembering to wear or misplacing a removable appliance.
-
Discreet & Comfortable
The wire is placed on the inside surface of your teeth, so it’s completely invisible when you talk or smile. After a short adjustment period, most patients forget it’s even there.
-
Preserves Your Orthodontic Investment
Fixed retainers are especially helpful for patients who are prone to orthodontic relapse or shifting after braces or Invisalign.
-
Low Maintenance
With proper brushing, flossing (with a floss threader or water flosser), and regular dental checkups, fixed retainers are easy to keep clean and effective for years.
-
Ideal for Busy NYC Lifestyles
Since it stays in place, you don’t have to build a routine around wearing it or worry about forgetting it during travel, work, or events.

What Causes Wisdom Tooth Complications?
Wisdom teeth often cause issues when they don’t erupt properly. Common reasons include:
Impaction: Teeth trapped in the gum or bone, causing pain, swelling, or crowding.
Nerve Proximity: Teeth near nerves increase the risk of standard extraction complications.
Infections: Impacted teeth can lead to gum infections or decay in nearby teeth.
Crowding: Lack of space causes misalignment or pressure on other teeth.
Symptoms like jaw pain, swelling, or difficulty chewing may indicate a problem. Coronectomy at 65 Broadway Dental safely addresses these issues, protecting your nerves and relieving discomfort.
Is Coronectomy Right for You?
You may be a good candidate for coronectomy if you:
Have impacted wisdom teeth near nerves.
Experience pain, swelling, or infection from wisdom teeth.
Want to avoid nerve damage risks from full extraction?
Seek a minimally invasive, quick-recovery procedure.
Have healthy gums and no active infections.
Coronectomy may not suit non-impacted teeth or certain cases. Our free consultation with CT imaging will ensure the best approach for your needs.
Schedule an appointment today!
How Coronectomy Works?
Our coronectomy process is precise and gentle, typically completed in one visit:
-
1. Wisdom Tooth Assessment
We use 3D CT scans to evaluate the tooth’s position and nerve proximity, creating a tailored, safe plan.
-
2. Crown Removal Procedure
Under anesthesia, we remove the tooth’s crown, leaving roots intact to avoid nerve damage, ensuring comfort.
-
3. Healing & Monitoring
We provide aftercare instructions for quick healing and monitor the roots to ensure long-term health.

FAQs
Why choose coronectomy over full extraction?
It reduces nerve damage for wisdom teeth near sensitive nerves, ensuring safer outcomes.
Is coronectomy painful?
Anesthesia ensures no pain. Mild soreness afterward is manageable with medication.
How long is the recovery?
Most patients heal in 3–7 days with proper aftercare, like soft foods and gentle rinsing.
Is coronectomy safe?
Yes, our 3D imaging and expertise ensure a precise, low-risk procedure.
Can the roots cause issues later?
Rarely, roots may need removal later. We’ll monitor your progress closely.

Transparent Retainers in NYC | Invisible Protection for Your Smile
You’ve completed your orthodontic journey; now it’s time to protect your investment. At 65 Broadway Dental in NYC, we offer transparent retainers that are custom-made to preserve your beautifully aligned teeth.
Also known as clear retainers or Essix retainers, these appliances are made of durable, medical-grade plastic and are molded to fit snugly over your teeth. They’re completely removable, easy to wear, and virtually invisible, making them a favorite choice for patients who want discreet, reliable retention after braces or clear aligner treatment.
Why Choose a Transparent Retainer at 65 Broadway Dental?
Clear retainers are an essential part of maintaining your new smile. Our expert team crafts each retainer for a perfect fit and long-lasting comfort.
Here’s why patients across NYC choose our transparent retainers:
-
Clear & Nearly Invisible
Made from transparent plastic, your retainer is virtually undetectable when worn. You can smile, speak, and go about your day with total confidence.

Comfortable & Removable
Unlike permanent retainers, clear retainers can be taken out when eating, drinking, or brushing. They’re lightweight, smooth, and comfortable to wear day or night.

Schedule an appointment today!
What Is a Transparent Retainer Used For?
Clear retainers serve a vital purpose in the final stage of orthodontic care. Once active tooth movement is complete, your retainer:
Holds your teeth in their new positions
Prevents natural shifting due to muscle memory or bite pressure
Helps preserve cosmetic and functional alignment
Can be used as a nightguard to protect against grinding
Even after years of braces or aligners, your teeth can gradually move without regular retainer use. A transparent retainer offers an easy way to keep your hard-earned smile intact.
Is a Transparent Retainer Right for You?
This type of retainer is ideal for:
Patients finishing orthodontic treatment (braces or Invisalign)
Teens or adults seeking a discreet retention option
Those looking for a removable alternative to bonded wires
People with good oral hygiene habits and compliance
If you’re someone who tends to forget retainers, or if you’ve experienced a relapse in the past, we may also recommend additional support like a fixed retainer for dual protection.

FAQs
How long do transparent retainers last?
With proper care, most retainers last 1–3 years. If you grind your teeth or wear it 24/7, it may need replacement sooner.
How often should I wear my clear retainer?
Initially, wear it full-time unless advised otherwise. Eventually, most patients transition to nightly wear only. We’ll give you a personalized wear schedule.
Can I eat or drink with it in?
No, remove your retainer before eating or drinking anything other than water to avoid damage or staining.
What if I lose or break my retainer?
Contact us immediately. Teeth can begin to shift in just a few days, so replacing it quickly is essential.
Do transparent retainers cause speech problems?
Most patients adjust within a day or two. Since it fits snugly, it typically doesn’t interfere with speech after the initial adjustment period.
