Premium Braces NYC Families Have Trusted Since 1974

Braces remain the most powerful tool in orthodontics — and today’s versions are smaller, more comfortable, and far more discreet than the ones you remember.

At Lemchen Salzer Orthodontics, we provide the premium braces NYC parents, teens, and adults choose when precision matters: modern metal, clear ceramic braces Manhattan professionals prefer, and hidden lingual systems placed entirely behind the teeth.

Every case is planned digitally from our Manhattan office, combining 50+ years of expertise with custom teeth straightening NYC patients can see simulated before treatment begins.

Modern Premium Braces NYC Patients Barely Notice

Clear aligners expanded orthodontic options — but braces still offer unmatched control for complex bites, rotations, and vertical corrections.

The difference today is aesthetics. Clear ceramic braces Manhattan adults wear blend with natural enamel, and hidden lingual braces New York executives choose are completely invisible from the front.

Treatment begins with careful diagnosis and digital planning: tooth position, jaw alignment, and facial balance — mapped before a single bracket is placed.

Key Benefits:

  • Precise Tooth Movement: Braces allow highly controlled orthodontic adjustments
  • Effective for Complex Cases: Ideal for significant bite or alignment issues
  • Durable Orthodontic System: Consistent treatment progress
  • Modern Orthodontic Materials: Smaller brackets and improved comfort
  • Proven Long-Term Results: Reliable correction of bite and alignment concerns

Benefits of Braces Treatment

Braces offer reliable orthodontic correction and can address many alignment and bite concerns.
Comprehensive orthodontic treatment supports both health and confidence.

Improved Smile Confidence

Straighter teeth often enhance appearance and help patients feel more confident in everyday interactions.

Better Oral Health

Aligned teeth are easier to clean and maintain, reducing the risk of dental issues.

Corrected Bite Function

Orthodontic treatment improves chewing function and reduces uneven pressure on teeth.

Long-Term Smile Stability

Properly aligned teeth help protect long-term oral health.

As an older person I was nervous and anxious about getting braces. Dr Salzer was very comforting in our initial meeting […] Now 1 year later I’ve “graduated” and I couldn’t be happier with both the results and the care I received from everyone. What could have been a tough year turned out to be anything but and for that I say THANK YOU!

Dr. Lemchen and the team are incredible! My braces came off today and the results are amazing. The process was seamless with professionalism and dedication at each step along the way. The confidence I have when I look in the mirror was well worth the time and money that went into the process.

Dr Marc Lemchen and all his staff are amazing. They always go the extra mile to help you. He did such a wonderful job on my kids’ teeth that I returned to him for adult braces.
