The Best Orthodontic Specialists NYC Families Have Trusted Since 1974

Dr. Marc Lemchen has spent five decades providing relationship-driven orthodontic care to New York families — and shaping the specialty itself. A true master orthodontist, Manhattan has been home to his pioneering work in digital orthodontics since 1974. Raised in Maplewood, New Jersey, he studied at Lafayette College, earned his dental degree at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, and completed advanced orthodontic training at Columbia University. Known for his calm demeanor and precise eye, he remains the doctor other doctors consult.

With more than 27 years of experience and advanced specialty training, Dr. Jennifer Salzer is among the best orthodontic specialists NYC parents request by name. Her warm, relationship-driven approach helps children, teens, and adults feel informed and fully supported at every stage — from early evaluations to complex aesthetic finishing.

Dr. Andrew Lemchen brings precision-driven care and a family legacy in orthodontics to Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Patients value his analytical clarity — complex treatment options explained simply, in an environment that’s structured, supportive, and never rushed. He represents the next generation of the renowned New York orthodontists this practice has produced. (He’s also Myka the retainer dog’s dad — meet her here.)

Dr. Bina Park pairs decades of experience with a calm, highly personalized approach that puts nervous patients instantly at ease. One of the top rated orthodontists Manhattan families recommend for children and adults alike, she guides every case with patience, precision, and genuine care.
