Crossbite Treatment NYC Families Have Trusted Since 1974
A crossbite happens when upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth instead of slightly outside them. Left alone, it leads to uneven wear, gum stress, and jaw strain. For expert crossbite treatment, NYC parents and adults have relied on Lemchen Salzer Orthodontics for over 50 years.
Most cases never need surgery. Using Invisalign® clear aligners and modern braces, we deliver the non surgical crossbite correction NYC patients prefer — planned with 3D precision from our Manhattan office.
Correcting a crossbite restores bite balance, protects teeth and gums, and creates a naturally aligned smile.
Understanding Crossbite Treatment: NYC’s Diagnostic-First Approach
A crossbite can affect the front teeth, back teeth, or both. Because the jaw shifts to compensate, it often goes unnoticed until wear or discomfort appears.
In children, an untreated crossbite can influence how the jaw grows — which is why early evaluation matters so much.
Our doctors use digital imaging to pinpoint whether the issue is dental, skeletal, or both, then recommend the simplest path to advanced crossbite correction Manhattan families can trust.
Key Benefits:

- Reduced Tooth Wear: Prevent uneven pressure on certain teeth

Orthodontic Treatment Options for Crossbite
The right approach depends on severity and jaw relationship. Every crossbite treatment NYC patients receive here starts with an honest evaluation — never a one-size-fits-all plan.
STEP 1
Orthodontic Consultation
During your consultation, we examine tooth alignment, bite function, and jaw relationships to determine the cause of the crossbite.
STEP 2
Diagnostic Imaging
Digital records show exactly how teeth and jaws relate, so your crossbite treatment NYC plan is built on precision, not guesswork.
STEP 3
Orthodontic Treatment
Treatment may involve Invisalign aligners or braces to gradually reposition teeth and improve bite alignment.
STEP 4
Retention and Stability
After treatment, retainers help maintain alignment and support long-term orthodontic stability.
Improved Bite Balance
Orthodontic treatment helps upper and lower teeth meet correctly.
Reduced Tooth Stress
Correcting crossbite prevents uneven pressure on certain teeth.
Better Jaw Function
Proper alignment supports comfortable chewing and bite movement.
Improved Smile Appearance
